A rainy Sunday afternoon

There is usually very little rain during the summer here in Texas and this year was no exception. The comming of fall brings cooler weather and rain and this week promises to be quite wet. There was rain all day Sunday and as much as I love rain it was too wet to get out for a walk.

I had spent the morning reading the paper and it was time to get out of the house or go stir crazy. There was a new antique store in town that had just opened so a trip there seemed like a good idea. I spent an hour looking around and taking pictures of their stuff.



I loved the barber chairs but they really belong in a barber shop; some of the furniture was nice though. Some of the dealers had a lot of household stuff.

The sewing machines were nice, my mother used one like the one on the floor for many years

One dealer had a whole wall full of clocks.

Another dealer was selling old radios.

Mostly they were just selling odds and ends. It was a really fun trip and I had a good time looking the place over but it made me kind of sad, I am older than most of the stuff they were selling. I thing they need to call this something other than an antique store.

    It must be really fun to visit this store. But who will buy those goods and what will they do with those antiques? For remembering good old days?

    This was a fun store to visit. Most of the stuff in the store came from garage sales and it is mostly things that people can use so a lot of people buy things there to use in their homes. Some of the things are only good for decoration. Only a few of the things I saw there were old enough to be called antiques.
