AN UNDISCOVERED GEM....


....that would be the divine Christie.

During Antique Week in Warrenton, she can be found between Zapp and Renck Hall, in an ethereal, cottage-y tent, an oasis of white and whimsy where she has created a little shop of wonder.

And the singularly talented Christie is only undiscovered in the blogging realm, as she isn't a blogger herself. Those who have shopped the fields of Warrenton, more often than not, are well acquainted with the charming lass, and she has developed a loyal following of those who head to her tent, day after day during the shows, to see what magic she'll be conjuring up that day. 

I purchased quite a bit from Christie during my week in Warrenton, and came to think of her as a friend.
I hope you will, too!

Here's her space...don't forget to click pics to enlarge...













































Take a bow, Christie!




You can find her at The County Line Market in Huffman, Texas, or in Warrenton next Fall.

And speaking of, I still have more Warrenton pics and posts in the pipeline, hang in there sports fans!

Have a great night!

    You HAD to know that I'd instantly gravitate to the silk ribbon roses...especially those lovely grey/green ones. YUM! You're so right...she has a wonderful place to visit. Thanks for sharing.

  16. oh more creepy dolls! i love it. the one in the yellow cherub dish appears to be a little concerned at being too close to those two lightbulbs...or perhaps she just had a really great idea?! i am sad to be stranded on this island where no one appreciates a good doll head....

  30. HEY!!! I know her .. She is just as lovely as her displays - a TRUE gem .. junker through and through .. would walk to the edge for her .. we met her last fall .. set up right at the corner and could see one anothers booths and visited off and on and just the month before Warrenton, she traveled with a friend to Canton .. what a surprise! ..did she tell you the one about the bridal wreath under glass? .. she is as full of stories about her wares as her booth is full of wares ..yes, love her space .. it is like she transports a little cottage to warrenton each time complete with opening and closing doors ..
    love you Christie!!
