Antique Stores are the absolute best, especially if you love history as we do. We have a favorite one located in New Braunfels, Texas called Red Rooster. They always have so much to look at.
For starters, we found this nifty camera:
The furniture is always unique and if I had room for it, there are some pieces that I'd purchase. This one gave me "men drinking brandy and talking about boring shit" vibes:

This record player was neat for sure:

You seriously never know what you'll find. Want a Big Boy sculpture?
This Marilyn poster has been there for a year now and Natalie loves it. But it's $50 which I think is a crazy price. We keep hoping it'll go down in price, but nope. So for now, she'll just keep taking a photo with it:
I don't even sew, but I appreciated this:

This bear was well loved and I wondered what his story was. I wonder about the story about many things in the store. It's fascinating to me.

Did Natalie end up getting anything? Yup, she found a lipstick holder. I think it might have been from the 70s? She found a similar piece on eBay that stated it was from the 70s. The lipstick is from the 60s and no, she won't be using the lipstick, it's just a prop to go into the holder:
She also found this comic from the 80s for her boyfriend, who loves Spiderman:
We're excited to see what we find the next time we shop. For now, she's loving her lipstick holder.
Do you like going to Antique Stores?

ReplyDeleteOh you hit my fun button on this post. Mr. G and I love stopping by any antique/vintage store we find. We are always coming out with a new find. Being vintage ourselves, we love the membories for these finds.
ReplyDeleteI love going to antique stores. Sadly we don't have any near by so I usually only get to go when travel.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE going to antique stores; flea markets, garage sales, thrifts stores, the whole nine yards! In fact my mom actually owns in antique store in the town I live and we each have a booth. So that makes us dealers; but I prefer the term ‘pickers’. American Pickers anyone? Lol! Thanks so much for sharing this story! You just made my day!
