Welcome New Members: Menzo Collection, Mom Walds Place, Whimzies, and Kranzelic

Floral nut dish by James Kent Ltd.

A self-described "crazy Cajun," the owner of Menzo Collection has lived all over--including Germany--but now comes to us from Houston. The shop is a fresh mix of housewares and home decor items, from a needlepoint parrot to Hull Madonna. This sweet little floral nut dish is almost too pretty to use.

Rosenthal Selb-Bavaria soup bowl

Chock full of vintage goodies, Mom Walds Place specializes in dishes, glassware, and pottery. I've chosen this exquisite Rosenthal soup bowl to show you, but at Mom Walds you're just as likely to find stoneware mugs, mid-century plates, or patterned glasses--well researched, beautifully presented.

Antique books from 1891 and 1913

Whimzies offers another type of treasure--supplies and unusual items accumulated in more than 30 years of work as a folk artist. Ephemera, vintage lace, patterns, books, photos, postcards, and unique bits and pieces make for some tasty leftovers.

1980s floral minidress

Another tasty shop, Kranzelic, comes to us from Los Angeles with clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares, and more. They have some wonderful items just right for the season, including this stunning floral minidress from the 1980s.

Welcome to these wonderful shops!
