I decided to start a new blog that I can post anything to. My other blog is mostly film photography. I might even occasionally give some opinions about issues of the day in this place. Still to start off I have some views of a fairly new shop, Timeless Treasures in Savoy IL. From the outside the place doesn't look like it could have much, however there is more space inside than I would have thought. When I visited it was a clean, well-organized shop with pretty good variety.
I imagine that these jugs and crocks were like the tuperware of its day. I remember my father using a crock to make sauerkraut and beet wine.
I am just guessing that this stove burned coal. Although some people still used coal furnaces when I was a kid I don't remember anyone cooking with anything other than a gas or electric stove.
Most shops have some space for Christmas all year round. Timeless Treasures had a good assortment of vintage Christmas stuff when I was there.
Fans like this were still pretty common 40 years ago. A good strong fan like this was quite a relief back before air conditioning became common.
There aren't many things that can make me feel more like an old-timer than seeing phones like these being sold in an antique shop. Such phones are still an image that will pop into my mind when I think of a telephone. Of course to most young people today they probably look like a crank phone looks to someone of my vintage.
Lastly, another of the once probably special images that has ended anonymous and on sale.
