I've been a photo-shootin' fool this week. Here are some of my favorites. Click on photos to enlarge for better details.
Really Good Stuff - a
The resident cat - probably grew so large from eating rodents.
Need an ancestor or two?
$500 or 25 cents?
OK, raise your arthritic hands if you remember these roller skates!
The top ones have plastic wheels, but the ones on the bottom -
steel, for real skaters (OK, so that's all there was when I was a kid).
To adjust the size of the skates, you needed a skate key.
It was quite fashionable in my grade school
to wear your skate key on a chain.
It could also double as your hopscotch marker.

Someday your Mac will be tinted sepia.
Just two doors down from Really Good Stuff is a retro shop - like night and day. Also like a time warp.
Who didn't have a clock like this in their living room in the sixties??!!
My other favorite pastimes, after a long afternoon of photo hunting.

Very cool photos! I love the idea of instant ancestors. And the "someday your Mac will be tinted sepia" is very funny.
♥ the diversity & antique-ness of these pics! My boys would ♥ the pony ride machine :)
I had roller skates like those. Am feeling VERY VERY old now :)
I think I would love that store. Now that Melanie song will be running through my head all day "I got a pair of brand new roller skates, you got a brand new key." Ha!
Those are some killer shots. I love "vintage" stores lol That pony ride is insane....$500? Holy smokes.
And I don't even want to think about seeing Mac in sepia...oh, heavens!
You have some definite winners here. I love all things vintage and you've certainly captured some. And in such a way that simply draws one in. Kudos!
You found some great stuff to photograph. My favorite is the pony ride.
Such great shots! What a fun place to poke around and look. I remember those roller skates, and I love the humor of the ancestor pictures. :)
Instant relatives. HA! Those are great!
Oops!
Can't believe I haven't commented yet! I loved them Terri, I told you yesterday, I'm way too shy to take pictures in a shop but you're not!! And I love them all, the instant relatives made me chuckle! And I love the sepia, that's a great touch!
It does look like a fun place to take photo's. I love "junk" stores. Great photo's.
Jientje, I thought of you when I did the sepia on the typewriter. That's my favorite one of the bunch!
I have more of the junk store, will post more next week. Thanks everyone for visiting and commenting.
Cool set of photos this week
Oooh Terri,
I LOVE the shots from the antique shops (which happens to be one of my very guilty pleasures). After seeing all the goodies in your photos, I'm thinking I need to do an antique "road trip" to Oregon! LOL!
