.Ambs and Air Discover Antique Heaven

20101111 Old Strathcona (1) edit

You wouldn't believe this place.

Isles and isles of rows and rows full of shelves and shelves of the best knick-knacks, odds and ends, fun finds, furniture, pieces, parts, tools, accessories, decor, books, memorabilia, clocks, appliances, toys. Any nostalgic object you can think of. It was there. I'm not even lying right now.

I want to buy it all... but at the same time I don't want to buy hardly anything.

I’ve seen that show Hoarders, so I know where that can lead.

Then again, I really do want to buy it all.

These people are killing me!!! Who thought of this?

There I was, minding my own business when I asked Air to pull over to check out this place we’ve passed by a few times. And then BAM! I’m hooked, and life will forever be changed~!!!


Ok, I’ve saved a few of my favorite things for last. Ready??

Drum roll please.........

In conclusion:

I need a bigger house to decorate.

And no, I’m no hoarder. Yuck!

Fun! I used to babysit for someone that had a phone like that one up by the clocks. They had other phones too but I really loved answering the phone on the old one.

Amber, what an unbelievable store. I wish it was in Provo. Except then I would be tempted to buy things, which I don't need to do either. :)

Thanks for your comment on Family Volley. I was really excited to hear that the rock paper scissors game will work for your seminary class. Do you teach early morning? I am still grateful for my early morning seminary teachers. Their sacrifices blessed my life.

Let me know how the game works out. Your modification sounded fantastic.
