My simple happiness when I am in the US or in Europe is to visit antique markets and shops.

In the US, almost every established city has at least one antiques store. Actually the numbers are diminishing and many stores have disappeared. The pandemic sort of accelerated the downtrend. Bad for me.

I searched online and found a small one located in an old downtown community. Quite a drive but my desire to go there overtook my fear of driving in the freeway.

So here I am, at the Blue Door Antiques Store.

Blue Door Antiques shop
The cute building is situated on a main road in a residential community.  No other antique shop in the neighborhood but this one.
Blue entrance of a small business with an open sign.
It was so hot,  more than a hundred degrees.
White building with 'Peach' sign and tree nearby on a sunny day.
The challenge is how to find what I am looking for.
A cluttered shelf filled with vintage globes, trophies, and various collectibles.
When I have bought a record player na that’s the time I will start buying vintage long playing albums.
A room filled with shelves of vinyl records and wall decorations.
I am careful not to bring home other people’s kalat.
