For those of you who know me well, you know that I am not a big fan of the typical shopping mall.  I strongly dislike the feeling of being cooped up inside a big space with bright lights, stale air, and sounds and smells of every type.  But there is one type of mall that sets my spirits in a happy whirl.  THE ANTIQUE MALL!!!  I love a quaint, small antique shop nestled among the other shops that line a town street.  But what I love even more is a big, converted barn that hosts an array of smaller, individual spaces that are filled with the treasures of a variety of antique dealers.  I LOVE IT!  You never know what you will find and if one “space” doesn’t provide what you are looking for, then perhaps the next space will.  And it’s easy to quickly move along to the next room where a  bunch of other antiques are displayed and awaiting your arrival.  There is one local antique mall that I love to frequent.  I love it for prop-shopping, for the friendly people that work there, and for the 50’s music they play while I browse and shop.  It’s a wonderful place to be!  And it’s another one of “My Favorite Things”!
