New look for Paply's!!

Woohoo!  Paply's has a new look.  Get a load of this sign that was erected this week.
How fab is that?!  I heard Claudia, one of the vendors, say, "Now we don't have to explain to people about the Oma's Flea Market sign any more!"  (You'll have to imagine that said with a German accent, 'cause I don't know how to write with accents.  :>)

Seems it always confused people, when they were trying to find the store.  The store is called "Paply's Gifts and Antiques Mall", but the big sign on the pole said "Oma's Flea Market."  Well not now!  Here's another pic that shows part of the building and the new sign. 

Can you find the smiley face in the photo?  I'll give you a minute to look.  Found it yet?  Here's a clue...look for the white painted wall on the building, just to the right of the yellow front door.  That's it!  Mike made it, and it's formed out of wagon wheels and an old two-man saw.  And, no, the parts that make up the smiley face are NOT for sale.  Mike is so proud of his creation, he refuses to sell them! 

And there is a new arrival in the shop.  Take a look at this monster-big table!


I watched Claudia recover the seats on the chairs, then Mike put the chairs back together.  Really neat toile fabric.  Better grab it quick, 'cause this table and chairs set won't last long!

And then there's this thingy-majig.
I overheard someone call it a round-top trunk.  I thought trunks were the rear storage area in a car?  Hmmm.  Guess this old mouse has got some lingo to learn. 

Until the next time, this is Vinnie Mouse saying, "Au revoir!"

  2. Terry Lee, will you bring me some cheese? Being a holiday weekend, there'll be so many people around, I won't be able to slip out and scavenge for my meals like I normally do. :>) Have a wonderful Memorial Day!!
