Embroidery fun!

The Old House hosted a free embroidery class on July 23, 2008. Its amazing how quickly

students learned a few basic stitches. The class participants each finished a really cute sampler design with iron on transfers and instruction courtesy of our Antique Mall vendor Urban Nostalgia.

We definately hope to hold more classes like this in the future. If you are interested please contact us.

A lovely selection of these adorable transfer patterns from Sublime Stitching are available here in the Antique Mall...along with accessories like embroidery scissors and t-shirt stabilizer. We also have a variety of vintage pattern books for all your retro crafting needs.

For those of you too busy to try embroidering your own linens... our vendors have a lovely selection of "ready made"vintage pieces in beautiful condition.

Birthday Success!

We are excited and looking forward to our very first Wednesday evening with extended store hours.

For the month of July the Old House will be open late on Wednesday evenings until 7pm.

We have a series of fun activities planned for each evening we'll be open.

First up, on July 2 & 9, 2008:

What to do with all those sad little door knobs that can no longer function as door knobs but are just to nice to throw away and....

What about all those impossibly beautiful door knobs that we just don't have enough doors for?

With just a little bit of time and some easy to find materials those door knobs can be recycled for new purposes --- they make great hooks for coats or can be used as tie backs for curtains.

We also enjoy seeing them hung on the wall as art.

We'll show you how...step by step and we'll have project samples on display.

Wednesday July 2 and 9

Open - 11:30 until 7pm.
