I always wonder where pieces like this have been.

Did it sit on a little girl’s dresser? A grandmother’s bookshelf? Was it a birthday gift, carefully wound each night before bed? I love imagining the memories it’s already been part of. Now it’s ready to become part of someone else’s. 💛🎶

If you could wind this up and hear one song from your childhood, what would it be?

This hand-painted vintage music box still plays “Over the Waves.”

$19.77

📍 Booth #1920 at Benbrook Antique Mall

Not local? Send me a DM—I’d be happy to ship it if it’s still available.

🍂 BOOTH SPOTLIGHT: DEALER #311 🍂

One of my favorite things to do here at Benbrook Antique Mall is feature some of the other booth owners who help make this place such a fun destination for treasure hunters. This week, I’m highlighting Dealer #311, whose booth is packed with an eclectic mix of antiques, collectibles, artwork, vintage décor, and unique finds.

You’ll discover everything from a gorgeous curved glass china cabinet and vintage radios to framed artwork, Elvis and Gone With the Wind memorabilia, wildlife décor, collectible knives, coins, and plenty of one-of-a-kind conversation pieces. Every shelf seems to hold a new surprise, making this one of those booths where it’s worth taking your time and looking closely.

I especially love how Booth #311 blends classic antiques with fun, unexpected treasures. Whether you’re a collector searching for your next great find, looking for vintage décor, browsing artwork, or hunting for knives, coins, or vinyls, there’s something here for just about everyone.

Today’s project was moving all the vintage lunchboxes and thermoses into one of the showcases at the front of Benbrook Antique Mall and honestly… seeing them all together like this is so much fun. 😂
There’s vintage lunchboxes, thermoses, matching sets, cartoon chaos, and at least 3 things in there that instantly unlocked elementary school memories for me.
The Kool-Aid one is cracking me up. There’s Barbie, Tiny Toons, Sesame Street, Snow White, Power Rangers, Happy Days… the whole showcase feels like a Saturday morning cartoon lineup from back in the day. A few of them still have their matching thermos too.
Some are super clean. Some are perfectly loved. Prices vary depending on condition, rarity, and whether the thermos is included.
If you’re headed to Benbrook Antique Mall this week, swing by the showcases up front and take a peek. Then while you are strolling through the mall, visit booth #1920 on aisle B! 🧃✨
