If you live close to Houston, TX and love antiques and bargains, you need to get yourself down to the Blue Bird Circle. Besides destroying rooms and painting everything in sight, Sis and I are avid bargain hunters (there is a missing Picasso out there, and we mean to find it). So this weekend we put down our paint brushes, folded our ladders and went hunting. This is a little glimpse of what we saw:
Yes, that is what I am saying. All of these treasures can be yours. Where else can you buy designer clothing and taxidermy at the same time....nowhere, but at Blue Bird Circle. I have first dibbs on the two French chairs and maybe the tea set.
This is such a nice painted bedroom set, who doesn't like Beatrix Potter.
If you have a little boy that loves Captain Jack Sparrow, you have to buy this bed set immediately.
This painted green chair is calling me.
My only hang up on not buying this suit is that it only comes in a size two, which I am afraid that I haven't been for awhile. On Saturday, Blue Bird had tons of Calvin Klein, Talbot, and Chico brand clothing. I didn't ask, but I am sure that there is probably a Chanel lurking around on the racks too.
Also, everybody that shops at a resale store knows that the longer an item has lingered, unsold around the shop, the deeper the item is discounted. Every store has their own policy, but I have to praise the Blue Bird Circle on what they do. They place that information on their tickets. I cannot tell you how much time this simple act saves. Looking for information on an item at a resale shop can be trying. Usually, no one knows, so price information has to be looked up. Time can stand still at moments like these. If Albert Einstein were alive, he would be looking into this resale-store phenomenon and creating an equation to explain it.
Check out the ticket above. If you wait until February 18, 2012, you would only pay $2,997.50. The information is right there! All resale shops should adopt this policy.
This item, mahogany table and six chairs, can be found in the better furniture area. For me, the ticket carries a little hint of being an oxymoron, which I like. I don't think my first car cost that much. However, this is what makes the Blue Bird Circle the best at what they do. ~Sandy~

If you are a clothes horse and appreciate designer duds,
this place might be for you. For instance, check out this royal blue
Albert Nipon suit.
