A Window Shopping Trip
February 14, 2008 |
I’m not sure why it is so nice to collect things like stamps, toys, watches and antiques, but it just is. I know I am not alone in this because it is a big business.
Not too long ago my daughter wanted to buy some vintage clothes so we headed off to some second-hand stores and it turned out to be a great experience. While she was looking at clothes, I was looking at “stuff!”
I found some amazing watches ( I am a watch collector) and some great antique chairs. On this trip I didn’t buy anything, it was merely a window-shopping trip, but my daughter did find some vintage coats she liked.
One of the coats was a brown and black fur coat. While we assume the coat was fake due to the price tag, she is thrilled just the same and I am happy to know no one will be picketing our house over killing little loveable animals. I live on a farm by the way, so they would probably quickly realize we would never buy real fur.
On our shopping trip we also found a blue cape that was worn by some famous lady who ran some famous benefit ball in the 1950s. We weren’t familiar with the lady or the ball, but the $375 price tag stopped us regardless.
The best thing about our day of looking at “stuff” was that when we go back again, or go online, we will find all new stuff next time. I would love to find a really old watch worn by someone famous while conducting a famous benefit…but if I don’t find it, I can always buy a cape.
