Ghosts and Antiques

I like to buy antiques that feel "haunted" to me. As a sensitive person, I feel that I can tap into the world just beyond this one and I like to surround myself with things that have a ghostly vibe. Like this antique movie projector from the teens ... when I look at that collection of fabulous gears, I can almost see the ghosts of the silent screen flickering on the wall.

Antique taxidermy packs a powerful animal vibe. The wildness of the creature lives on.
Graceful photos and statues of ladies long gone bring their spirits out as twilight nears.

Rare and beautiful, and ghostly white ... albino taxidermy is one of my favorite things.
And last of all, the haunted monkey's paw. Be careful what you wish for!

Have a nice evening with all of your ghosts!

Steampunk Decor at Pandora's Parlor

I have added some really fun early machine age items to my booth, along with some great industrial finds. I love Steampunk!

Antique welding goggles and check out the Edwardian slide projector - it's copper!
Antique tree stands used as vases for dried roses and peacock feathers add the perfect vintage industrial look!
And my ever present collection of Victorian mourning items, like this statue of a lady in mourning and photos of funerals.

Vintage taxidermy forms with fashionable attire!

An armload of soldered pendants.

Stop by for a look - I have lots of fun new things!

Fabulous First Two Weeks!

Well the first two weeks at the Old Barn Antique Mall have been great! Lots of people stopping by to take a look and buy things. Here is a little movie of my space ...

Pandora's Parlor at The Old Barn Antique Mall in San Juan Capistrano!

Great news! I have opened a booth at The Old Barn Antique Mall in San Juan Capistrano!

I have everything from lush antique curtains and fabrics to a cabinet of curiosities!

While setting up the space, one lady said "Oh it is beautiful! Spooky, but beautiful! Just the look I was going for :-)

I am carrying giclee prints of my father's magical art - mermaids, fairies and Victorian ladies. The perfect compliment to your antique decor!

In addition to the antiques and magical supplies I have for sale, I have a corner at the back with lots of antique items for artists and crafters. Here you will find ephemera packages which include antique and beautiful papers, ribbon and embellishments - all fun old stuff!

Also, old silverplate flatware to use in projects, rusty old bedsprings, old cabinet cards and tintypes and antique buttons. If you are in the area, be sure to come by and look through it all!

So stop by and visit me at The Old Barn Antique Mall! The Old Barn is open 7 days a week, from 10 am to 5 pm.
