Located on Second Street in downtown Temple Texas, this delightful antique store is my new favorite shop.

I hope you can drop in sometime. Maybe the next time your driving down I35 between Austin and Waco.

They have lot’s of great stuff at unbelievable prices. New arrival’s daily. If they don’t have what your looking

for, just ask owner’s Julia or Sally. Chances are they have it hiding in one of their warehouses. Trust me.

Roxanne: You need to be on the Chamber of Commerce and promote Temple. That was a great shout out for Temple.
