KANSAS TREASURE HUNT




Memories Antique Shop
Now I am tempted not to disclose the location of this wonderful place. This is owned by Marv & Pat Goldsmith in Nebraska. You get the best stuff! Salvage, furniture, you name it they have it. This trip they were giving a free kitten with purchase. LOL! Good people and a lot of fun.






This place is one of my favorite places to shop in Grand Island, Nebraska. They have beautiful stuff. Sometimes I like to get finished pieces instead of projects for me to do for the store. The guy who does some of the furniture here is brilliant. He and his wife relocated from New Orleans after Katrina. The name of the place is Railroad Towne Antiques.

She is really good! I bought her T-shirt with this picture "Ladies With Purses". She stopped doing her artwork for many years because she was just too busy. She had 7 kids! I asked her if she had to work at getting her talent back she said nope, just like riding a bike you never forget. Loved her! She is thinking about doing a wildlife stamp in the future.



SO PROUD!

She makes refrigerater magnets from old jewelry.

We met this gal in Scandia, Liz. I bought one of my favorite pieces from her and her husband (a large nester/tool bin. This is her artwork, Sustainable Abstract Expressionism. Very talented and delightful couple. This town was one of our favorites because a lot of people set up on both sides of the street. FUN!
Check out the talent of her daughter above with her cousin.

This was a gorgeous Convent that is the highest point in the city of Concordia, Kansas.

This is one of our favorite couples that we met along the way on our Kansas Treasure Hunt. Never asked their names but we talked with them for an hour. They have been married 58 years. He planted sunflowers (what you see behind them) to attract doves so his sons could go dove hunting. He does all the work himself.

This is what we saw coming into Cheyenne.
