I appreciate the fact that customers took themselves up to the register saying "I can't find the licorice ... where did it go" You are my people, thank you!! I could not get Red Licorice for over a month but it's now BACK in stock!! ❤️🖤💚❣️💙🤎❤️

Make your Christmas tree a little more special this year with vintage ornaments. I have so many more to bring in, but thought I'd share what is available in my space right now at Schoolhouse Antiques and Collectibles ❤️🎄💚

Well it IS November right? So many need the joy that Christmas decor brings to them. I am them ❤️🎄💚 I brought in just a start of what I have to offer with so much more to price yet. Please come in and visit my two spaces on the main level. Don't forget to pick up a bag or two of The Licorice Guy licorice (great stocking stuffer) and an 1803 Candle or two (Fall and Winter scents available) 🕯

I've brought in a new display for my licorice at Happenstance Vintage. I don't think you can miss it, but just a heads up, for now it is located where my old display was. It may move so look for it because I will be flipping my two spaces to Vintage Christmas 🎄 ☺️

And another heads up ... we are having trouble getting deliveries of new licorice. Hopefully they will remedy this soon, so keep checking back if your favorite flavor is out of stock ... or try a new flavor for now 😋

Oh I'm sure this old girl has seen many cups of tea, coffee and glasses of sweet tea. This is a mahogany tilt table with many uses. Display it as a tilt table (obvious) or a small kitchen or kitchenette table as it is 34" round and can accommodate 4 chairs easily! Available in my corner space at Happenstance Vintage.
