I must confess that I went back again today. An early morning chaplain meeting took me within blocks of this enchanted place. On my way home, as the lunch hour approached, I turned and found my way back once again. Time for lunch. A quiet lunch. Alone this time. And a bit of time to browse and see it once again. I felt as if I were visiting a dear friend. Things had changed. Vendors had come and gone this morning, leaving behind them more wonderful things to see and dream of. Again today I knew I would return often. At least once a month on my way home from my early-morning meeting nearby. Perhaps to shop. Or stop for lunch. Or enjoy the vintage photos tastefully arranged on the walls of the ladies' room!
Oh Adrienne! It is all just breathtaking! I wish I could join you on one of your explorations of this shop:>) Thank you for sharing it with us in photos. I have gleaned all kinds of decorating and creative ideas just looking at it!

Oh, my what a beautiful place! My mother used to love little tea sets. There are so many pretty things to see. I also would be going back if I were nearby.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos here!!!!!~
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had the opportunity to go back to that wonderful place. I love to take a "30 minute vacation" and browse through the aisles of an antique store. There is something relaxing about the sights and scents and the feel of all that history. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. I've allowed myself a 5 minute break from work as I've browsed the aisles with you!
