Old Town Shop Discovery

Oh friends, I hope you understand why I am so elated today!!!  There was a new shop that went in down in Old Town and the sign reads; Apricot Lane~ New and used Home Furnishings.  I would see a wooden table and a chair in the window along with an end stand or a lamp in the window as I would pass by. Nothing to really catch my attention.  Until one day, this fall, I bagan to see other smaller things in the window that may be interesting enough to check out.  So I took some of my Christmas money and headed over there to see what was in the store.   It took me all of 5 seconds to realize that the sign didn't mean just "used home furnishings" but ANTIQUE and VINTAGE home furnishings!!!!!  She had the store set up like a furniture store would with living room settings and kitchen settings with antiques as accents.  It was wonderful.  I felt like I was walking around someone's house and everything was for sale!!!!  I was going to cry.  Really, there is no where in my area to shop for the things I love.  I usually have to sift through GW hoping to find something or head to an antique dealer where I can't afford anything.  Not so with this store. She has crocks, and washboards, and rolling pins, and buckets, and barrels, and all sorts of glass bottles, quilts, and books, and kitchen gadgets, and on, and on, and on.  But, the prices are right.  Either she knows no one in town can afford the actual price of these antiques or she doesn't know what she has.  So, I picked up a couple of things and made a mental shopping list of the others that I wanted and headed to Real Deals with the rest of my money.  Here is what I ended up with.  Oh, and thanks for letting me unleash my happiness on you.

 This is what I got at Apricote Lane~ a creamer and tea pot

Thanks for sticking with this long post. There is not a friend or family member I can call to tell that would understand as much as most of you all would.  It's nice to have someone understand me:)
