Shopping in High Point

When I went to the High Point Furniture Market recently I did not expect to be able to purchase anything. I knew this stuff was for buyers to buy in bulk so that did not include me. Then while perusing the showrooms we would ask if they offered cash and carry and some said yes if they ship it to you and then there was a shop that carried lots of great items that we liked and they told us they had a warehouse outside in town that we could buy from. What?? So on the second day after attending a couple showrooms and lunch we were off to find this place and found a couple more places, too that were open only while market was open. 

Some of us were on gasp overload when we walked in this huge place.

This clock was ginormous and a bit pricey. I don't have a wall even large enough anyway.

There was all kinds of great lighting.

Loved this old bell jar cloche and wish I had bought it, but I have to keep reminding myself that I am saving for France.

Super prices on baskets.

Need a chair? These were $30 each.

This place with the chairs was right next door to the store I just showed you. See the white headed man in front of the entrance? That is Paula Deen's husband who was shopping there. She was in a car close by.

This is how it looked when we walked in. HUGE!

There was so much stuff that it was overwhelming. A few ladies did buy some old seltzer bottles at a really good price.

Now on to stop three. This is the warehouse we were looking for and boy did it have some great stuff at fabulous prices.

Loved the furniture covered in vintage grain sacks.

Need a demijohn? There was no shortage here.

Olive jars.

How about a small garbage can?

Nice old crib and had to get a shot of the creepy baby.

I leave you with a peek at what I worked on this past week. Just a tiny color update.

Hope you have a bright sunny weekend where you are. I think we may need to go buy a boat.
