Relics is a new antique mall in Springfield, which has been a while in the making.
Opening in mid July it has gotten off to a great start.
As you will see from the following photos,
they are an antique mall in every sense of the word.
They have a lot of variety and diversity of merchandise
from primitives, retro, to vintage shabby, and everything in between.
There's a lot to see.
They have some policies about what they allow in
so I think that will keep the quality up
and the 80's and 90's garage sale out.
Nothing wrong with that,
I just don't want to see it in an antique mall.
ya know what I mean?
I'm not interested in a used toaster or toilet seat cover.
thanks but no thanks.
This set is really incredible!
a metal dresser and chest.
too cool!
Like I said they have a great mix,
with some "industrial" thrown in.
If I had a spot for this I would have brought it home.
The paint is wonderful!
Wonderful gray armoire.
These spaces are the design work of Robin Gilmore.
She's a super talented gal
and has a fabulous turn of the century mansion here in Springfield,
which she has turned into an event center,
called Ms. Gilmore's.
I just go in here and soak up all the inspiration.
who not only has mall spaces around the area,
but she hosts a wonderful barn sale each spring on her property.
I've been trying to twist her arm to have a fall show.
I always find great things in her booth.
AND she has wonderful prices!
Thanks, Teresa!
Relics has plans to open a tea room within the mall next year.
I hope they do.
This is a really promising place,
I hope they do well.

Off to water the sad little flowers.
Have a great weekend, y'all!
