More Shops

We have some cool shops here in Belton, TX. Today I want to introduce you to Hosanna House and As Time Goes By.Humm, hats, one of my guilty pleasures. I pay a lot and mark them really high so I can keep them. These yummy ones are @ As time goes by. Both Hosanna House and ATGB are across HEB on 6TH street in Belton.
These beauty is the most beautiful framed portrait plate. I believe the owner have not price it yet, still researching.

Just cute stuff @ Hosanna House. The owners Mark and Laurie open the shop as a used book christian library since there was a need for a place where you can buy affordable religious books. They branch out into antiques since they are both collectors and were fast running out of space. Sound really familiar.

They have really pretty items and a good variety of them since they accept consignments. My friend Cindy from Chipped to perfection sells her wares there.

Some people should not be taking pictures. What is with me and blurry pictures? Arg.
This is a bedroom at As Time Goes By. The owner Jane Bugg have been in the antiques business for 12 years. She host estate sales too. You should see this lady's home. The shop is her home too and she keeps her doors to every room open so you get to drool over her collections which are many and all just amazing. Her collection of toleware trays is the best I have ever seen. What is supposed to be her living room, dining and kitchen areas is where she have the wares for sale. The house is a Victorian house from the turn of the century. I will love to have a home where I can run my business out of( hum.. maybe not).

She have an enclosed patio full of vintage gardening stuff, drooling...

Cutest kitchen ever. She have a large collection of wall pockets, vintage feed sack tablecloths, tins, pottery, red and green handled utensils and the biggest collection of spice racks.


Yummy, my pictures are the biggest injustice. Forgive guys, I love you and your shops.
