gold mine for the unusual, antiques, and hard to find items. my wife loves to decorate our home and is always adding new items and changing things around. she not only buys in these shops but she sells items there also. she calls it recycling. she bought a spoon the other day and that evening, i found myself moving furniture around! the spoon went in the kitchen as a decoration and then, of course something had to come out and be moved to another room and on and on.
