Adult-Only Easter Egg Hunt!

Posted on by

Hey there, antiquers! We hope you all had a great Easter weekend with your family and friends!

As a continued celebration of Easter, we are hosting an Adult Only Easter Egg Hunt this weekend, APRIL 6th!

Vendors will be donating items from their booths for door prizes.  Each prize will be numbered and numbers will be placed inside plastic Easter eggs and hidden all over the store.  When a customer finds an egg, they win that prize.  Each person can win only one prize, so if the egg that you find isn’t for a prize you want, you can trade it to another person or re-hide the egg and search for another one!

Here is the table of goodies you could win!

We hope to see you there!

Happy Wednesday Y’all! We hope your summer is going well! Can you believe August is just around the corner? We don’t know about you, but we are definitely ready for some of that cooler fall weather to start kickin’ in!

This week we would like to introduce to you the lovely Christy Petty of Delete Wheat!

Here’s a little snippet of her bio from her website:

“I am Christy Petty, wheat gluten-free, Christian, adoptee, wife, mom, grandmother, cook, writer; author of  THROW THE WHEAT IN THE SEA, muralist, animal lover;(cats,dogs,horses) self-appointed (with a little help from CSA) spokesperson for wheat gluten-free living and awareness, with the gift of exhortation and possibly a talent for writing and definately a desire to free the world of all illness caused by wheat.”

Christy is generously providing The Vintage Tea Room with some of her delectable gluten-free treats once a month!

From cakes to cookies to brownies and more, stop by tomorrow July 25th for a sweet treat from 1-5 p.m.!

Here’s an idea of just SOME of the yummy things she makes!

Lemon Bars

Hummingbird Bundt Cake

Flourless Chocolate Cake

If you are needing to adapt to a gluten-free diet, be sure to meet Christy herself and ask her about her experience, tips and tricks with gluten-free cooking!

You can find all of this and more in her wonderful cookbook, Throw the Wheat into the Sea. 

Available in paperbook and ebook versions!

We hope to see you–and your sweet tooth–tomorrow!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Spring Open House last weekend! We had so much fun listenin’ to The Tiques and watchin’ Cliff Voake as “The Duke” as well as stuffing our bellies with yummy BBQ hosted by the West Texas Cowboy Church out in Gardendale!

Each of you were instrumental in making our event a huge success! So, thank you.

Here are a few photos from the event!

Hey dealers! This is just a reminder for the Dealer’s Meeting TONIGHT @ 5:30 p.m.!

We will be deciding on a date for the Spring Open House, and firm up plans for the event.

Also, our new social media marketer, Madison Luikens will be here tonight to answer any questions that you might have regarding the new site.  She has also connected us to Twitter, a great social media website like Facebook that will be another way to help grow our fan base! If you would like to learn how to set up an account for either of these but aren’t sure what to do, she will be happy to walk you through it!

Social media is the new marketing frontier for small businesses to get their word out about what you are doing! It is a great way to connect and share your latest items, updates & events! We hope you consider joining us!

See you tonight!
