I Love Vintage Shops

I visit every shop in every town I pass on my way to Nashville. Well, when my husband is not with me.  This was from a darling little shop in Nashville, TN.  Most of the pieces in this shop were distressed by the owner.  Each booth had a different color scheme.  It was absolutely precious!

Of course, my favorite little shop is the one that I manage, my very own Cornerstone Treasures.  The building is an old hotel from the turn of the century. Don't you just love the brick? 

 The little railroad town was my hometown.  I can remember catching the Nancy Hank to Gordon for a field trip when I was in the 3rd grade.  Most of the railroad towns have become "ghost towns" so to speak.

This is my favorite corner!

However, the local  restoration committee is working on a grant with hope to restore some life to my hometown.  Plans are underway to reconstruct the depot to its original splendor.  A museum would promote business.  Our small town is home to a flea market, two resale shops (including Cornerstone), a darling, children's consignment shop (The Mouse House), a fresh seafood hole-in-the wall, and a ladies and men dress shop.

This was built by my husband's great, grandfather.  It needs some work, but it's great for display.  No, it is NOT for sale:)  Everyone asks!

With so many shops like ours closing all over the country, we are thankful for a great 6 months in business.  It would be wonderful to have every building in in the town filled with good junk, don't you agree?
