Texas Rose open for a short time
For a limited time only, Texas Rose Antiques in downtown Pittsburg is home to antiques and vintage household goods. Dianne Adams of Pittsburg recently sold her home and is selling off the contents of 35 years’ worth of collecting. She has moved her things into 152 Quitman, former home of Texas Rose antiques. The shop is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and Mrs. Adams hopes to be closed by the end of the year. “I thought it would bother me, but it feels kind of good,” Mrs. Adams said of liquidating her collections. “I just like stuff and I have no one to leave it to.” Mrs. Adams has lived in Pittsburg for 18 years. She owned the 1904 General Store in Marietta for two years. “We sold homemade things and antiques,” she said. “This store is all things from out of my house. Most of the stuff I had was antiques. I had no idea I had this much stuff.” While other shops replenish goods periodically, Mrs. Adams said she has no plans to acquire new things to sell. “Other shops are in this for the long haul, but I'm not,” she said.
