I love antique and thrift stores. I used to go to a bunch where I grew up in Cali and they had the coolest old fashion hats and stuff. They were so neat. Like the really pretty ones they would pin on their heads back in the day. So fun! Loves the pics.... as always!

I love to look around the housewares. I rarely buy anything, but it's just neat to see such a variety and from different times.
Fun day!
