The time to buy an antique is when you see it. They’re not making them any more.

This is a sad, but true, mantra. Lately, we’ve had some disappointed customers. Twice, just last week, people came in to the store to buy a piece of furniture they had seen and admired, only to find that someone else had already bought it.

With money so tight these days, it is understandable that we carefully consider most purchases. It’s hard to stretch those dollars in just the right way! I don’t blame people for taking some time to think about what they want to buy. I do it myself.

Unfortunately, in an antique store, we can’t just “order up” the things we have for sale. We have to be fortunate enough to find the great treasures our customers want. All of our vendors spend countless hours searching high and low to bring new “old stuff” to the store.

At Her Alibi, we try our best to keep fresh inventory and to be on the look-out for things we know our customers want. We keep a “wish box” full of customers’ names and the items they collect or need for their decorating scheme. If there’s something special you’re looking for, let us know. When we find it, we’ll give you a call.

Another option is our lay-away plan. When you find that special something and don’t want to put out the money all at once, we can take a partial payment and and let you pay it off over three months.

Shopping for antiques is a fun pastime for some and a passion for others. Whatever your approach happens to be, we hope to be your go-to Antique store. See you soon!

This ship print is in its original gilt frame and is in great shape! Call for specifics.

We have literally added on…to our “Bargain Barn”, that is. By enclosing the patio area, we were able to gain a little more space to house our fabulous finds. We’ll be filling it with gently used furniture and accessories. Right now, we have a pair of bedside tables with drawers, 4 old trunks, an old kerosene heater, parlor table with turned legs, pine 5-drawer high-boy, lamps, occasional tables, and LOTS more. Stop by and see the new additions, and remember to : re-think, re-use, re-cycle, and re-visit often!

1963 Barbie in excellent condition!

Midge is in perfect shape, as well.

We have for sale a vintage “bubble cut” Barbie and her friend, “Midge”. Pictures to follow, just wanted to alert you to this rare opportunity! See them at 211 South 4th, Pocatello, Idaho, or call 208-233-6797 between 11 am and 5 pm, MST, for more info.

Inexpensive and small, sewing items fit easily into a suitcase, so look for them when you travel. They display easily as well; and best of all, sewing items are a useful collectible!

Pictured below are some fabulous buttons, a collection of sewing/embroidery scissors, and thimbles. The aluminum one is an advertising piece for “Pompeiian”, and the other two are sterling.

We have been busy with our yellow highlighters! You know, anything with a yellow slash through the original price is 1/2 off! And, believe you me, there are lots of them.

We have to make room for new inventory, so now is the time to snag a great treasure at a bargain price.

Come in and shop with us today!!!

This table just came in. It measures 48″ in diameter and has 2 leaves, making it expandable to 6′

We’re playing around with the look of our site. Comment if you’d like

We’ve also been busy trying to keep up with people wanting to sell their “stuff”. Suddenly, we’ve been inundated with calls and people dropping by. In fact, last night we made a quick trip to Aberdeen. The nicest fellow called yesterday, offering to sell us some of his treasures. Of course, we couldn’t resist! The only problem is trying to make room for all these new goodies.

So far, we’ve come up with a two-part solution:

#1    We are clearance-pricing many furniture pieces we’ve had for a while. If you’ve had your eye on something, come in & take a serious look. We may be able to make your day! And remember…The time to buy an antique is when you see it!

#2    We’re clearing out the Bargain Barn (in fact…it’s all done!) to make room for a lot of these new pieces.

So, we have a new look, both here and in the store. Check us out!

Following are a couple of pics of some new things in the store.
