We have opened an antique store at 211 East Grand, here in Hot Springs. It is at the old "City Hardware" building on the corner of Hwy 70 and 270. We thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for us to have our own store at a wonderful location on a main intersection at the corner of Grand and Malvern. It is now our fourth year.
This wonderful old store has a second story balcony and is in its original condition that was built in 1927. We have furniture and accessories upstairs, also.
Our thanks to our regular customers who find us and keep asking for our quality merchandise and bargains. If you are planning a trip to Hot Springs, please look us up and visit our store. Our daughter, Ashley, will be managing the store. Her artistic talents and energy is of great value to us.

Our home is Located on the north side of Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a 108 year old Hot Springs estate that was once a gaming house in the horse and buggy days. The two story section was the original with wide porches surrounding it. It was remodeled in 1948 and continues to be maintained and lived in. There are 5 acres for our pets to enjoy along with lots of wildlife. There are 108 year old pine trees and oaks with stone walls and walkways. Our home was recently partially reconstructed after a fire. We were not at home but our pets were and we lost all but one. It was heartbreaking and they will never be replaced. We now have four new pets who needed new homes. We redesigned some of the rooms and replaced some worn out areas. We are planning a new nursery for our grandchildren.
We hold Cowboy Chuckwagon Campfire Cookouts Periodically. Music by Huey Smith.
Ask Bill about his "Buzzard Pie" and "Cathead Biscuits". We displayed our antiques along with friends in these large tents.
Here are some of my painted collectibles. I enjoy finding vintage pieces and painting them, myself.
We love to go to auctions. The personal possessions of the past have been saved by individuals for decades. Seeing them auctioned off is sometimes very sad but they find new homes and create great joy in new hearts. I love homemade quilts, vintage Fiesta Ware, Aprons, Vintage Tablecloths and Napkins, Teapots, Pink Roses, Cowboy Collectibles, Blue & White English Chintz China, Architectural Pieces, old toys, Vintage Bikes, Old Pitchers, jadite, McCoy, and Blue Swirl Enamelware. We also collect marbles, fishing lures, fishing poles, old photos and postcards, old books, military memorabilia, Dr. Pepper and Royal Crown pieces, and pocket knives. We add to this list from time to time.
Hot Springs is known as a natural spa with a rich history of tourism.
We attend estate auctions weekly in our area and have met quite a few dealers in the process. We have developed a short list of desirable items. It is very much like a treasure hunt when we go to estate auctions. We look in the boxes and tables full of household goods. Some families save everything and some have thrown away all the old stuff.
Buying and Selling - A Collector's Dream
We have met all kinds of people from my studio desk computer. We have customers all over the world.
I have received over 1324
positive feedbacks and it is a great feeling. I am always truthful with my customers and if they find a mistake of mine it is not intentional. My goal is to be treated as honestly as I treat others. Mostly I have had good experiences and have been blessed. Some customers just don't understand what a collectible really is. Collectibles are items that have been saved from the trash bin by loving hands, people who have taken care of a sample of the past that is no more.

Quilts
Quilts are getting harder and harder to find. I look for these treasures every day but they are really getting scarce.
My quilt customers are very happy to receive genuine homespun handmade quilts that are usually made by housewives out of cotton fabric. The quilt artists use whatever fabric they have on hand and make that wonderful old American Quilt Cultural find. Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt Beautiful Quilts
Sometimes I find new handmade quilts that are made with loving care and they are made right here in Arkansas by nimble fingers and happy hearts.
Some are so well made they have 8 stitches per inch. That is a lot of loving care and long hours. The rows of quilting are usually 1" apart but sometimes closer. They will probably last over a hundred years since the fabric and materials used today are so much better than long ago. They will be the desired heirlooms of the future. I put all my quilts up for sale on ebay in the "Antique" quilts section. I want lots of people to be able to see my quilts. Some are "Antiques"; some are "Vintage"; and some are made in the last 30 years. This is a marketing decision. I also use names for my quilts that do not follow the "traditional" pattern theme. When I first started buying and selling quilts I talked to a Professor who taught quilting. He said, "...about the names of quilt patterns and what the rules are... There are no rules when it comes to quilt patterns. traditionally, the quilters named them themselves, and it is a part of the American tradition to name your quilts, yourself." The artists who made these wonderful pieces had the freedom to create them and when I buy them I have the freedom to name them. Sometimes I name my quilts after I buy them and I try to use the landscape of the area they come from included in the title as well as the design. I look up the patterns in my quilt books and I also try to give the buyer an idea in the description of the traditional name of the pattern. So, if you think I have misnamed the quilt or think that my title is incorrect, it is my perogative. There are no quilt police. I use a Digital Camera to make photos. It is much quicker than my 35-mm camera because of the turn-around time for developing. Good photos make a huge difference in your success or failure on ebay. And being able to see the photos instantly gives you the option to retake and get them just right. Now I can take photos anywhere in the house or outside. I usually take photos in the afternoon when the light is better outside, earlier if it is overcast. Cropping these good photos is a must. Saving picture loading time is a number "1" priority.
Moonlight Antiques Anything that does not bring a enough funds on ebay is placed in our store. Many times items are sold for more in person.

It celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2004 and always promises an exciting season with special events, celebrations, contests, promotions and new casino operations. The top thoroughbreds, jockeys and trainers go after some of America's most lucrative purses and prizes. Our fun park and water park opens each spring and is called Magic Springs/Crystal Falls. It has a 10 story looping yellow "Gauntlet" roller coaster. Be sure to go downtown and take a walking tour and see the Grand Promenade on Hot Springs Mountain.
There is the Mid America Science Museum off of 70 West, and Garvan Woodland Gardens off of Carpenter Dam Road.
The spa city serves up more than 200 great restaurants, casual to elegant. The Travel Channel called a popular Hot Springs barbecue spot one of the world's best.
