HAPPY AVOCADO ANTIQUES IS THE CULMUNIATION OF MY PASSIONS AND BEST EXPERIENCES IN LIFE. I GREW UP VISITING GARAGE SALES AND RESALE SHOPS IN TEXAS WITH MY MOM, WHO HAD A KEEN EYE FOR DESIGN ON A DIME. I QUICKLY DEVELOPED A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR OLD & FOROTTEN TREASURES. OUR FIRST OFFICIAL "SALE" AS HAPPY AVOCADO ANTIQUES WAS IN JULY 2021 WITH AN ANTIQUE CHINA CABINET THAT I FOUND ONLINE & REFINISHED. THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT IT WAS SO DELIGHTED, SHARED THEIR STORY WITH ME, AND ASKED ME TO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR OTHER ITEMS THEY WANTED ME TO FIND.  TREASURE HUNTING FOR OTHERS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS JOB. I KNEW THEN THAT I HAD DISCOVERED SOMETHING SPECIAL. IT IS A JOY TO CONNECT WITH FOLKS, LEARN THE RICH HISTORY OF THE ITEMS WE SALVAGE, AND THEN HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY TO HOMES WHERE THEY WILL BE LOVED & CHERISHED ONCE AGAIN. I'M THANKFUL TO EACH OF YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE SHOP.  I CAN'T WAIT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON AND LEARN ALL OF THE MAGICAL WAYS OUR PATHS HAVE COME TO CROSS. NOTHING IS EVER RANDOM! UNTIL THEN, HAPPY HUNTING! -KATE KIRSCH OWNER, HAPPY AVOCADO ANTIQUES
