I love visiting Antique stores for their sheer nostalgic value. Some of the items are even before my time and I cannot but help look at random objects and wonder the history of the object. Who was the original owner? Did she enjoy using that article? What was her story? What was happening in the world at that time? Every object for sale is more of a story and less of an object. Here are 3 pictures of the Stars Antique Market in Hermosa Beach. Look at the abandoned dolls, cookie jars, handwoven crochet blanket. Among these artifacts and more you will find tons of stories to ponder and savor.
So true, such objects speak so much silently!

My first job was an elementary school teacher. When a young student would bring in arrow heads that he had found scavenging the woods and fields, I’d ask him to imagine how they were made, how they were used, who made them and why. A relic of a different time is always more fascinating when you
…(pressed ‘reply’ inadvertently) when you picture the circumstances behind it, in your mind’s eye.
Beautiful antique shop and I love them also the old books. Would love to take a look. Thanks for sharing and stopping by! ☺
My pleasure!
