An Antique Shop Is Like A Little Museum


Any kind of interest in the past has the potential to enrich our lives in more ways than we might suspect. To my way of thinking, an antique shop is like a little museum.

Of course, not all museums are alike. There are museums of things that don’t interest me, like umbrellas and dentistry. There’s a museum of moist towelettes. At the present time, it isn’t on my bucket list.

There are museums of things or people that annoy me. Take abstract art or the George Bernard Shaw birthplace museum. Nope. Not going there.

I remember seeing a program on TV years ago that showed how to find special deals in the thrift shops. What kind of things to look for. I especially remember her saying to look past what the object may seem like and see what it could be or really was. I have never forgotten that. Having lived in large cities, a thrift store is good for up-to-date clothing, knick-knacks and dishes. However, I do believe the little stores in rural areas like Iowa have "better" old stuff. I would think the East Coast would be loaded with antiques! You are right - so many times the shopkeepers at the thrift stores have no idea of the true value. It is just "stuff" to be unloaded. That's when you are really lucky!
