Now this place has some beautiful large furniture pieces.

Some of the pieces are of course, antiques but their are also pieces that you could put your own creative touch on as well. If you are looking for clocks, ceramics, china or glassware, chandeliers and even some imported goods make sure to stop by Rust and Roses.

"The Last Remains" owned by Christine Brockman and James Brooks. They like doing things flea market style so you will find them traveling about or stop by there new location opening December 29th at 860 Hickory here in Abilene. They have some great items that you might not even know you are looking for. My boyfriend was looking for an old time pressure cooker; guess where I found 1 of 3...The Last Remains!! Christine loves to go antiquing and always has some cool finds. They carry not only antiques but also collectibles, vintage and recycled items as well. It's those recycled items that Christine likes best. Taking something that isn't old enough to fall into the "antique" category but that needs an overhaul; she fixes them up and re-sells them. As the saying goes: everything old is new again!!
