I am my Moma’s Child Antiques

I am my Moma’s Child Antiques This page is dedicated to my precious Moma, Brenda Mullins. Moma was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in March 2024.

Now that I’m retired, I’ve developed a love of all types of antiques just like my Moma.

Today marks an exciting milestone for us.

We’re proud to officially introduce Antiques Near Me — your new antique road trip companion.

The idea came from a question we heard over and over at our own store:

“Are there any other antique stores nearby?”

It made us realize how difficult it can be to discover great antique stores, especially when you’re traveling or visiting a new town.

Antiques Near Me was built to help guide and assist. It’s a place where shoppers can discover antique stores across the country and where store owners can build a stronger online presence with more than just a basic business listing.

We’re just getting started, and there’s a lot more to come. Our goal is to build something that genuinely benefits both antique shoppers and the businesses that make this community so special.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared ideas, and encouraged us along the way.

We’re excited to see where this journey takes us.

What’s one antique store you think more people should know about?

I LOVE treasure hunting! A couple of weeks ago I saw someone post an estate sale but it wasn’t an estate company doing the sale. I knew I had to go see what they had and prices would be great. Man did I find the treasures! I also realized when I got there that I knew the people holding the sale. The lady told me how they came about having to hold an estate sale. It was apparently the friends’ grandparents house and they had bought it and were going to renovate it the next week. They needed to get the leftover items gone that day.

One treasure I found was a Vintage Sweetheart Stretch Bracelet. Now keep in mind, that I didn’t know the history or the significance of the bracelet. I just thought it was pretty.

It’s been a little over a year since I started “treasure hunting”. I’m still a newbie, but my eye is getting better at “seeing” treasures. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made in this journey. 😊

So back to the bracelet. Apparently it’s called a sweetheart bracelet because the soldiers would give them to their sweethearts to wear while they were off at war. What I found, was it started during WWI and carried on into WWII. The face of the bracelet could be different designs and the bracelet of different metals.

As I studied the bracelet and its history, my mind went back to the man and woman that had owned the house. He had probably served our country during WWII and had given it to her, or it could have been from her father to her mother….oh the possibilities…….I just know it held a special place in a lady’s heart at some point.

What I also learned is that they are very expensive! I can’t wait for the perfect buyer to get this treasure! I’m still researching this exact one.

If you know of anyone that loves vintage jewelry with a true love story behind the piece, send them my way.

Here’s a picture of the gorgeous bracelet 💜
