Introducing dealer number 7Cyndy!!
Cyndy is a beach girl at heart. Her space is filled with sea shells, sand dollars and star fish. She carries wall art, lighting, furniture and so much more. Many of her finds are beach cottage or nautical inspired. She has been a dealer here at the store for close to ten years and through those years her space has continued to evolve with current trends. You will always find something hip and fresh in her space!
Introducing dealer number 20 Sandy Moreno
Artist and designer Sandy instinctively knew that she needed to create jewelry. She has been crafting unique designs since she was in high school and has always paid special attention to detail.
She started collecting vintage beads, buttons, Swarovski crystals and fabric during her childhood and has continued to do so as an adult. She uses her vast collection to create unique jewelry, hand bags and other fun and funky accessories.
Her most recent line of jewelry is called “magical posies”. To create this one of a kind line she uses a technique called French beading to form flowers, leaves and butterflies out of wire and tiny glass beads. She has had great success with this unique design. Because of the popularity of her posies it has inspired her to take the designs beyond rings, necklaces and bracelets to headbands and decorative bottles.

The Brick Basement is an antique mall with, at any given time, about 30 different vendors. Each carries a unique blend of antique, vintage and or new items, as well as, a bit of hand crafted. This post will be the first in a serious of posts, in which, I will spotlight a particular dealer and show off her specialty.
Introducing… Dealer number eight… Phyllis…
If you stop by to visit Phyllis you will find her spot jam packed full of nostalgic treasures. She has been an avid collector her entire life, in fact her home was featured in a collectors magazine. She has a big selection of vintage toys from doll houses and miniatures to tops and drum sets.
She also has shelves full of vintage cook books, antique creamers, old tins and so much more. If you are looking for vintage linens this is a good place to start. Phyllis has a hutch full of old doilies, hankies, table clothes, napkins and the occasional hand sewn quilt.
New upholstery can make all the difference in the world. If you have a piece of very good quality furniture the expense of new upholstery is well worth it. This cute little vanity chair just got a new look.
The whole family got in on this one, Grandma, Mom, Melinda and I worked on this cute chair.
After
turned out great!
Another great transformation takes place with just a simple coat of paint…..
I recently gave this vanity a makeover for a little girl who loves pink.
I sanded the piece really well, primed it and then sprayed it bright pink. After the paint was thoroughly dried I then sanded it with a really heavy grit sand paper along all of the sharp edges and on any spot that had carved detail to expose the white paint underneath. I think leaving the knobs white and the amount of distressing added just enough contrast to break up the overpowering pink.
After
Isn’t it cute?!
