Just a peek into my past!!!!




All 3 of these were taken last week at the store where my grandfather worked after WWI until his death in 1985! What a treat to step back and remember all the time I spent in this old store.

It was a lifetime ago but I remember it as if it were yesterday! The smell of juicy fruit gum brings me right back to this store every time. He always gave me a pack of JF before I left.


Yes- ladies that thread is old!! And in the very box it was

sold from I'm guessing in the 20's & 30's .

I even have a pair of old button up leather shoes with really pointed toes from the store.

Not hard to figure out why I like old stuff so much, huh?
