Auntie Q's

Antiques. Junque. Salvage. After breakfast on Saturday, Sean and Jeffrey took me around the corner from the diner to one of their favorite places to shop for old stuff. It's mostly salvage stuff and some vintage stuff and some art.

A glass top table and some other furniture.

We wandered around ooohing and awwwing at all the furniture, lamps, photos, and other treasures. I saw several things that I would willingly take home if I had the means to carry and/or ship them. Thankfully, that's not possible.

Bus destinations.

There was a great glass top table that we all loved instantly. There were old traffic lights that could be really cool as fixtures in the house. I saw many old bus destination signs from the old days. And there were books and photos and paintings of places I remember from when I was a kid.

And, more than anything else, there were odd things: broken dolls, novelty items from the seventies, the ugliest table lamps I've ever seen in my life, and more.  It was great fun just wandering around looking, fantasizing, and laughing about the things we were seeing.

After a short time it was time to say "au revoir" to the guys and head off. But we made plans for dinner on Friday, so I'll see them again before I return to France.
