Pick a Card
Any Card....
Everybody knows we sell antiques. However many think that's all we have. Sooo, for the next few posts I thought I might share some shop photos that showcase merchandise we sell other than antiques. Our cards are both fun and pretty, many have vintage graphics.
We have two full walls of Birthday cards and two spinners of special occasion cards. HiHo is conveniently located next door to the post office...
AND THE WINNER IS....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....
"Jenny S"
of... http://www.theredbulletinboard.blogspot.com/ http://www.buttonfloozies.blogspot.com/ and http://www.suzannasantiques.blogspot.com/ I will be sending these goodies your way. Thank you to everybody who helped celebrate HiHo's one hundredth post! The Mom in me wants you to know you're all winners....

Hay Heaped High
How could I resist? I seem to have monogram madness lately. I keep coming across wonderful items with "H" 's on them. Much to my pleasure. This sweet vintage page from an ABC book got my attention while searching for other vintage pictures.
You see, the "o" in the bottom right? So this is not just an "H" find it's a HO! Don't you love the illustration and all the "H" words? Have a Happening, Happy, Healthy, Hell- of- a day!

Proud Mom
My twelve year old son was Daddy Warbucks in the Jr. version of Annie last week. The family watched while wiping tears of pride off our cheeks....
Bravo Everett! Bravo!
Magic in TV Land
I have always liked old Westerns, the sets were always great. Log cabins, Mom in the kitchen cooking something. Pretty Hollywood Western dresses, table clothes, and families together saying grace. Lots of enamelware, a dog...oh, and a rocker. I guess...I really loved them? 
One of my favorite shows was Big Valley. They were a rich Hollywood T.V. Western family. I always wanted to be Audra. She was perfect. Perfect hair, great makeup ( you know like all the cowgirls) and she had amazing clothes to be rescued in. Oh, and handsome guys around her all the time.
Why not surround yourself with things that make you feel like a kid? Even if it's just a cookie...

Here at HiHo we have one room that celebrates my love for things Western: the Homespun and Hearth Room. These shots are from the HiHo web site. http://www.hihohome.com/ I always try to offer unique old and new items with a Western flair. 
This McCoy cookie jar is in perfect condition and will be sure to make any gal feel like a Hollywood Cowgirl when eating cookies from it!

A FUN DAY OFF
A trip to the Woodbury Commons Outlet Stores turned into a series of pink moments. 
The first indication was this store named Pink. The second was the window of pink at LaPerla.
Yes... sometimes I travel away from my home base, to look for inspiration. On this particular adventure my older daughter Whitney came along. ( She is home from school on her Spring break.) Once entering Betsy Johnson's outlet store there was no stopping the pink fashion show. 
Notice the floors and the dressing rooms were even pink! I love this old McCalls pattern with Audrey Hepburn, she looks like she's enjoying modeling the pink dress as much as Whitney ....
OK, how do I explain this last picture? My husband was eager to pose for this Pink Saturday blog post when I requested. He had worn his pink shirt to work and I thought to ask. It was his idea to grab an object of pink to hold for the shot. Turning the shoot into a giggle fest. He was a good sport. Maybe I'll get more of the family to join in next week? Until then be sure to join Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
