Kansas City, Part II

On our trip to Kansas City we discovered another great place to shop for antiques -- River Market Antique Mall. If you go, though, be prepared to stay for at least a couple of hours -- there are four floors (30,000 square feet) of booths to peruse! The River Market Antique Mall has a little bit of everything. On the whole, I would say its merchandise is affordable. There was definitely a higher kitsch quotient than at Mission Hills Antique Mall. Here's a sampling of the goods:



Loved this booth and its industrial/school theme. I'm a sucker for good staging.


Once again, I did not make any purchases, but I came across another cute idea -- how about framed vintage doll clothing for wall art in a little girls' room? I think I have some old picture frames like the one above that I bought at Pier One a long time ago.

It just wouldn't be right to end a post about Kansas City without mentioning barbecue. We heard about L.C.'s BBQ on the Food Network a few weeks ago and decided we would give it a try during our visit. Soooo glad we did. My pork sandwich was delicious -- it just melted in my mouth.

Have you been to Kansas City lately? What are some of your favorite spots?
