Hinterland Mall...New Furniture...Antiques...Crafts...and more...St Joseph MO

Today I stopped by the Hinterland Mall's Store Grand Opening, on the South Belt Highway in St Joseph MO, the parking lot was bumper to bumper cars with curious shoppers anxious to see what was in the new store.

 

Hinterland Mall is a really cool store, which features New Furniture, Antiques, Crafts and so much more

As I was browsing the individual booths it became obvious that shoppers loved the homemade candles, creative crafts and antiques as they carried their new finds around the store including myself that was so reasonably priced.

The store reminded me of my grandmother house years ago, Depression Glassware, the colored Fiesta dishes, Walnut Marble Top Tables, Crocks, crocheted dollies, framed original old prints.   For a second, I almost could smell the homemade cinnamon rolls she used to bake from scratch for the grandkids with the flour that came in a cloth sack.

Upon leaving the store I visited with Tim Shafer the General Manager at Hinterland Mall for a second.  Tim said the mall is currently adding additional booth space along with glass display cases.
