I was in Kentucky last month, and while my mom went to an appointment, I speed-shopped the Somewhere in Time Antiques Mall along Highway 31W in Radcliff, Kentucky. It was super duper fun — there was lots to ogle, from all eras, at generally terrific prices. Click on through for 52 more photos from my photo shoot.
That’s me doing the requisite self-portrait in a mirror.
Alas, the orange and yellow 1960s mirror — highly lacquered, on wood, Made in Japan — was too pricey for my whims that particular day. As I recall, around $95. This seller had great stuff, but I tend to think, outpriced for the market.
The cruet set featured in the first photos was made by Redbird Japan. Does anyone know about this collectible? Interesting: Made in Japan, but which had a Danish look.
Not sure what maker this is… cute.
Big set of this dinnerware — who knows who the maker is?
It was a big set…
Vintage Masketeers — hawks? I have never seen this breed before.
Lovely miniature furniture. I loved taking these photos.
So cute, isn’t it.
Check out this vintage cake plate…
Moreover, look at the base… What a great cake plate — so tempting!
I think this was a vintage butter pat holder.
Vintage salt and peppers…
Also very temping was this vintage stand mixer. I have been doing more baking lately — I bet a mixer like this would last forever and ever. It’s honkin’ heavy.
A vintage nut grinder… with lovely midcentury graphics…
Similarly, the pretty painting and crackle patina on the vintage oriental lamps — lovely.
The one, too….
Here was the scale of the lamp, and more details — I love the wood top and bottom, and the lamp finial.
More oriental decor. So sweet. Always a little place for little watercolors (?) like these.
Sweet vintage towel rings…
Fabulous vintage dinette. Hmmmm…. I think I need to convince my mother to get this for her kitchen!
I really like — and recommend — mirrors that have odd shapes. These add even more visual interest to something with great utility. A mirror like this can go right next to the front door, or whatever door you use frequently to check your appearance before you go out.
Of course, I love ridiculous 1970s mirror, too. Go big or go home.
The outlet mall is quite big. This is just one view down one room.
And a view down the other direction….
I can imagine these china cupboards with a painted treatment being quite pretty.
Tic tock, and instant collection of vintage alarm clocks…
1960s flower power dinnerware. Oh, if only I could have 10 houses to furnish!
The pattern is Mikasa Stone Manor Floribunda.
There was an entire set…
There is a bit of vintage clothing and jewelry in the store… but it’s mostly interior decor.
Plush plum-colored settee? Yes!
Match your purple couch with green upholstered chairs.
Midcentury antiques down in this corner.
Is this vintage Raymor???
Here is the label…
This book, The Better Homes & Garden Decorating Book, is ubiquitous.
Vintage oriental flowers.
So cool… we see these around… a vintage formica plant stand, all amoeba shapes cobble together.
Is this a Jere wall sculpture… spray painted black perhaps?
This kind of plastic swag light has a name…. who knows?
Very fun to photograph.
A Gemma Tacogna imitations, made in Mexico, too..
Lovely vintage porcelain figurines were abundant.
Singing nuns…
Little ladies, skirts swaying in the wind…
A pink porcelain teddy bear…
A sweet little porcelain girl with her dog… This was the only piece I bought all day, because of the doggie, who reminded me of my Astro.
European ladies …
A small vintage garlic holder.
There was also a large case of little glass hens… like the ones I featured at Christmas time by Mosser Glass.
And kitsch, of course. A very successful day of photography,
I found you on Pinterest. I was wondering if you sell on line and ship.
I don’t sell anything. To contact this antiques mall, google them. I don’t think they have a website, but I found their number on Facebook, etc.
And note, the story is from 2012, so it’s unlikely many of the items shown in this story are still there…
