Introducing...

I have gotten so far behind in y'alls blogs. I miss you! After being out of town, I haven't had a chance to sit and catch up with y'all. But, believe me, I want to. You'll get my comments soon. Seriously.


In the meantime, I have to share more pics and more peeps. Here is Miss Talking Trash, herself, Debbie. Isn't she just the dadgummed-most-cutest-thing-you-ever-did-see? The woman works the hair and the bling. Just a doll, she is! And talk about sweet. Man, she says she is shy...but, I just don't see it! I met her one day when another dealer, Richard, sent her and Cat Daddy out to buy some stuff from me at my house. She tried to play shy, but once she saw something she wanted, she sparked right up! We got to play a couple months ago, and we plan to hit Judy Hill's show this Thursday together. Look out Tyler, here we come!

Now, meet Aunt Nancy and my very own Mom. My aunt had to blink in this picture. But, we are all smiling, so, I decided to share it anyway. Aunt Nancy is the taller lady on the right side of the picture. And the lady with the cute, one button sweater is my Mom. Don't we all look festive? Mom brought Aunt Nancy out to Poetry for the Open House. I got to show off to my kinfolk. Good times!

Check out the woman in the apron. That is Snakelover's very own Momma. We dressed to coordinate with Oreo, the Longhorn. Snakelover and I played Taboo against her and Snakelover's GirlChild last night. This woman is sharp! We couldn't get anything past her. But, we tried!

And now, I'm going to introduce you to my Primitique's business partners.


On the left, is Kathie. Kathie is the Queen of Sets. She puts stuff out, and then she listens for it to speak to her. We just let her. Cuz, it seems to work pretty good for all of us! She just joined us a couple months ago, and I am feeling a fresh, new spark. Thanks for coming out to play with us, Kathie!


In the middle is Jeannie. Jeannie is the Head Queen Proprietress. This is the woman who owns Jack's Town & Country and Jumpin' Jack's. Primitiques is located inside Jack's Town & Country, the local feed and seed store. Jumpin' Jacks is the grill, convenience store, gas station, with the self carwash next to it. Jeannie and her now deceased hubby, Jack, built this complex from scratch and she continues the legend. What a woman!


When I approached Jeannie with the idea of turning the storage room into an antique store, she said she followed her gut and she told me to "run with it". Bless her heart. When I told her to remove all the displays, empty the room, paint it and then we'd go from there, she just nodded her head and said ok. God Bless Her. She just let me run free like a naked blue jay in the lawn sprinklers! Thanks, Jeannie! Look at how much fun we are having now!

Now, you know I have got to share one more picture of me and the Snakelover man! Isn't he just a hunk of burnin' love? He is! He is!


So, there you have it. Some fine folks whom I have the privilege of sharing life with. Thanks, everybody, for letting me know you. I sure do enjoy y'all! ~Mindy

Winnie & Tulula's - Part 1

We did it! We survived the grand opening of Winnie & Tulula's. Whew! Today, I am going to share with you pre-opening pictures. Pictures of preparation and setting in my space.
misc 038
My next post, I will share pictures that David took of the Grand Opening, itself. He took hundreds of pictures and after weeding through the unflattering, blurry, bad lighting pictures, he will make public his album of the opening. I betcha he got some good ones! And if you were there, maybe there will be some pictures of you.
My space
Thank you to everyone who came out and shopped with us. To the lurkers and regular comment givers, I thank you for introducing yourselves and it was great to see you! I'm telling you, that was one fun day! To the other dealers and to Gloria. I know we won't all be there at the same time very often. But, I really enjoyed sharing that pre-opening adrenaline rush with you. Yee Haw! Congrats to everyone for being a part of a great day in Athens!

Wanna see the other pre-opening pictures? Go here and enjoy!

Happy Sunday!

Introducing "The Primitique"

Happy News!

My store has a new location and a new name!

"The Primitique" will be located at Eagle Hardware Farm and Ranch in Royse City.

This will be a similar situation to my last location, with a room off of the main building with space for my goodies. The Primitique will keep the same hours as Eagle, Monday through Saturday, 8am-6pm. Due to my full time job, I will not be at The Primitique at any scheduled time, but I will be available for appointments weekday mornings and on weekends.

Eagle Hardware is a family run business with a staff that is excited about The Primitique joining them. They are experiencing growth at Eagle with the addition of a Smokehouse Restaurant. The Primitique will also have merchandise for sale in the restaurant and in the surrounding gardens.

I guess you could say I am getting in on this new location from the ground up.

As the walls come up, I will better be able to inform you of the Grand Opening. Stay tuned!

For you locals, this location is on Hwy 276 in Royse City, between Rockwall and Quinlan. Click HERE for the map.

The Primitique will feature vintage home and garden decor, red.neck chic pocketbooks & hats and whatever else I find on shopping sprees!

Quirky Vintage Goodness for you and your home.

Did I mention how dad gum excited I am??? Gotta go order some cards, stamps, signage. What else?

Happy Wednesday!
