The Best Antique Store Ever!

What a find!!  Just out taking a drive, and we stumble upon the best little antique store we have ever come across. There was items in there that we had never seen! Now, that wouldn't be so surprising if I wasn't one who loves to scour antique and thrifty stores...but I am and have. This store stopped me in my tracks while I was totally overwhelmed with stuff absolutely EVERYWHERE! On shelves, in drawers, on walls, on the ceiling...hanging, mounted, piled and grouped by genre, color and era...extremely cool!

Here's a few snaps from our first walk-thru...

accidental shot - do you love these old glass jars, too?



hey...these may be my ancestors!

kitchen tools - oh-so-cool!


I laughed out loud!

I loved the chaos of color!


hand-quilted - beautiful!

this was the coolest vintage reversible cape!


stamp?
ha! I wonder...

very cool, right?

more vintage bottles 

this was an extremely cool cabinet of some of the best toys EVER!


ironwork on an old scale

I think this is my favorite shot...

just the counter - all the stuff they didn't know where to put!



Steampunk!!
The owner fancies himself an artist
and plays with bits and pieces from time to time.

yeah, this old pot-bellied stove was kicking out some wonderful warmth
