On our recent trip to Sylva, North Carolina not only did we visit the American Museum of the House Cat but we also visited The Old School Antique Mall.

The mall is just that – an old school – and is filled to the rafters with antiques and collectibles of all kinds.  The American Museum of the House Cat is also in this building but the antique mall dominates the building and has a lot of square footage to offer antique seekers.

Of course my interest lay in looking at all of the teapots and tea cups and amazingly enough I did not come home with a single one which took a lot of restraint.  I did snap a few pictures to share with my readers and maybe you can pick out your favorite one.

The antique mall has a lot of Hall teapots and I love each one of those.  I was really tempted by this yellow one.

I do have one of these Aladdin style lamps in my collection but mine is blue.  Isn’t it a neat design?

This one is really pretty.  The teapots were all different prices but all of the ones I looked at were in really good shape.

And then there were teacups by the hundreds.  All kinds and colors.  They were beautiful and even on sale.

I loved this piece of furniture where these teacups were displayed.

If you are ever in the area you must check out The Old School Antique Mall located at 4704 US Highway 441 S
Sylva, North Carolina 28779.  It’s always good to call ahead to check their hours as they sometimes change.  You can contact them at (828) 586-8097.

Another great quote given to me by Darlene Foster whose daughter shared it with her. Thanks so much, Darlene.  I love it.
