A Taste of Pike County. . .

March 4 Troy Antiques joined many other Pike County businesses at the Cattleman's Complex for the 2010 Taste of Pike County, sponsored by the Pike County Chamber of Commerce.

And times moves on. . .

Let me say I've neglected this blog--I could blame it all on Christmas but honestly, the shop has been very busy and we had many projects.

Ann and I decorated a tree at The Johnson Center using vintage plastic Santa and reindeer ornaments. Snow covered every branch and ornament--we made a mess but it was beautiful!

Christmas Open House was successful in spite of the cold, wet weather.

But now it's time to move on to another season--Valentine's Day or "V Day" as it is affectionately called. We are all decorated and in the "heart" spirit! Check back for updates!
