Serendipity

Today we visited this store in our new town. We’d driven past it several times over the last few weeks, and knew we wanted to go in, but had just not found the time. Today was that time. The first thing you see inside the door is a pink kitchen. Well, what might have come from a pink kitchen in the 50’s. Pink bowls, cabinets, aprons, canisters, glasses, and a pink refrigerator.


Lest you think it was all pink, it wasn’t. There were, however, a ton of pastels.
Then there were the clothes. Unbelievable, wild, from every era clothes.


And an aluminum Christmas tree, completely with spinning color wheel.
Where these ladies got all this stuff is beyond me, but walking through their shop was like taking a walk back in time. They had laid things out by color and by era. There were areas that were all Tiki/South Pacific, or 30’s business office, or 40’s Western bedroom. It was amazing.

This last picture is for my mom, who has a complete collection of this Autumn Leaf china. I have a few pieces of it too. I’m not showing the price tag because it would just give her a heart attack. 
If you ever get to Longmont, Colorado, I highly recommend visiting this store. I’m not the first to blog about it, either.
