Wow!  It was hot, but we had no choice.  The day was set by the calendar - 1st Thursday of the month is when we have our outside sale and stay open until 9 PM.

Of course, we made it a little better with a quick trip down the street for Mimosa "makings" and that made everything turn out super.

I should make note that Calder has been open for quite some time now.  I haven't been doing too well with blogging here, but it has been super busy.

Sales have been great.  Having Calder open and looking so nice has really brought the people out.

Come see us.  There are tons of things to see: new dealers, new stuff as always.

Any day now, Calder will be open all the way from downtown to IH-10.  The last little holdup has been at IH-10 and now it is almost done.  The concrete is down and the stripes are in place.  Looks like just a l little final prep and it will be open.

That is a big deal.

Even though our business has been great lately, I know it will be even better when you can come straight off the freeway and go straight down Calder.  Oh, boy.

We have had a lot of customers in the shop lately and so many of them are new faces.  That is really a lot of fun.  The word continues to spread.

There are a lot of changes in the shop, too.  There are upgrades in almost every area.  On the Antique Mall of Beaumont side, with business levels up, we have been really working at moving in a lot of antiques, particularly furniture.  We had gotten away from some of the antiques while the contstruction was going on, but now we are definitely living up to higher standards.

Come check us out.

OH, what fun!  The brick sidewalk is done as is the wonderful brick driveway.  It is so nice.  Of course, it is nice to be able to get to the shop so easily too.  Now you can drive up on Calder and turn right in across the beautiful brick driveway.

They are working on the railroad crossing at Calder and 2nd.  The rumor is that it will be done in 2 or 3 weeks.  Then Calder will be open between MLK and 11th Street.  Not too far behind that should be the rest of Calder to IH-10.  At last.

We have a lot of changes going on in the shop, too.  Longtime dealer, Shirley Patxot, has moved to Georgetown. With her leaving there has been a virtual moving frenzy as different dealers have moved from spot to spot in the store.  It has been a lot of fun and now there is LOTS of new things to see.

Come see us.  Join the fun.

Big steps!  They just opened 10th Street and now Calder is open between 11th St and 3rd St.  That means you can turn off of 11th Street and come down Calder to the shop.

Things are moving fast now.
