Timeless Treasures

I love antique stores. I rarely find time to actually go to them, but when I do...I could spend all day doing it. Each store is unique in it's own special way. Old army jackets, picture frames, door knobs, lamps, china.....and then, when you think you have seen it all, you enter a store that has so many things that are completely different than what you have just looked at (for the past 4 hours).


This was in a store, that you had to go through another door marked, "Back Room Open.". I could have stayed there for hours just looking at such uniqueness. I overheard a man telling another lady that a wedding party came back here and took pictures. Seriously. Coolest. Place. Ever.


Each little trinket. I look at it and wonder where it came from. What was it like when this was bought by the person who originally owned it. Was it a gift for a loved one? Was it taken from a house of a person that passed away? So many questions go through my head....I wish I was the kind of person on The Mentalist who when they touched something, all of the memories come rushing through their body. (of course I would want to turn that power on and off though, because I don't want to see EVERY memory, some of them could be quite awkward to watch.)
