The True Meaning of Thanksgiving

This is the True meaning of Thanksgiving: Psalms 71:15 "My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of they deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge." Take time this Thanksgiving season to tell of His acts and deeds.

Listing blessings does indeed makes us realize we could never know all He has done for us. Each night I thank Him for just living in a society where I have a soft bed and pillow! I never expected to own an antiques business, but He dropped one in my lap in the best place and with great dealers. There are far too many blessings to list, but our hearts can overflow into Thanksgiving for what we do know. The greatest of all for me is that I don't have to face paying for my own sins, having fallen short of God's perfection, but He has done it for me and holds a place for me with Him in eternity! Thank you, God!

Heritage Antiques will be closed the day before Thanksgiving, November 25 and on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, but we'll open with a bang the day after Thanksgiving with refreshments for your shopping pleasure!

May this month be joyeous as you celebrate coming together with your family and loved ones and may God's protection be provided for you and may each sense your place in God's plan for this world.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day,

Laura

Grand Opening A Huge Success

Heritage Antiques had their Grand Opening event on Tuesday, October 13, and it was very successful. I want to thank all that attended both openings and personally invite you to come out if you've not had the chance to visit the shop.

We are a multi-dealer shop with a friendly atmosphere and a wide variety of dealers. You can find primitives, modern, cottage, industrial, the unusual, traditional, and just off the wall antiques.

Take a peek at our Grand Opening day:

There's Ann in the black shirt. Stay tuned for more news about Ann's Open House at her shop The Tin Rabbit in Melrose Tx.

Look Who Made The News

Laura and Heritage Antiques was recently featured in the Lufkin Connects online news. They sent an editor to attend the Grand Opening and ribbon cutting ceremony. I think they did an awesome job of featuring Laura and the shop.

Here's just a small portion of what was written, "Owner Operator Laura Koch was a delight as was the open house. Various dealers and downtown merchants’ friends and family as well as the general public joined in the festivities, to celebrate this wonderful addition to our downtown historic section of Lufkin."

Check out the rest of the article here.

We are so excited that Laura has followed her dream and for those of us that have joined her in making this dream come true, we are all excited for you Laura and what the shop will bring.

Congrats,
Theresa

Soft Opening A Success

The Soft Opening we had on September 14th was a great success. If you didn't get to attend, don't fear because our Grand Opening is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th. Please make plans to attend the opening, it's going to be great since we've had several new dealers move in since then and those that attended the Round Top/Warrenton Antique Shows are bringing new things in.

Here are pictures from the first opening:

Thanks to all that attended and helped make the soft opening a success and especially to our customers that came out. We consider you all friends and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday for our big day, if not before then.
