I love photographing store windows! Hey, that might be my old sled in the middle there!
ReplyDeleteI love browsing in antique shops. You find the most fascinating items. Then you want to take it home with you. BUT your husband says NO. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you wonder where all those antiques come from? There does seem to be an endless supply. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Beautiful coats.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics of the shopfronts, you gave me some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Interesting post and shots, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting selection in those shops.
ReplyDeleteI remember those sleds!You sure have taken me back more years than I care to think of.
ReplyDeleteSomething very British about this image. It's the vintage aspect. I keep hearing Agatha Christie in my head.
ReplyDeleteAntique or not, those sleds look like they are ready to fly!
ReplyDeleteAntique shopping is always fun. I love the old sleds.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo - it's a work of art!
ReplyDeleteDelightful photos. It feels good to see something old. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, haha, when the first pic was loading, I thought, "She took a picture of her closet?" The windows are much more interesting I suspect.
ReplyDeleteLove antique shops and your photos are lovely! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSandy: What a neat look into your world, I loved the old sleds. They were really fun to ride.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that there is no glare or reflection from glass! I always love to take photos of shops as well - charming!
ReplyDeleteShops always are a good subject of photography, more when they sell antiques. Nice theme!
ReplyDeletei have always wanted to mount a sled to the kitchen ceiling and use the runners to hang pots and pans from...call me strange but thought it might be neat.
ReplyDeleteinteresting post.
have a great week.

I like to browse antique shops. I don't have any antiques but I like looking at them.
ReplyDeleteSandy, I have had a terrible time trying to leave a comment on your blog lately. I don't know what I am or am not doing.

Wonderful! We went antique shopping a few days ago and didn't buy a thing---just enjoyed the looking. I love it!
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are great but I love those sleds!
ReplyDeleteI love all the aspects to these shots from subject to the use of lighting and i know how hard it was to take them based on the window glass and at the time of day. these shots are Great!
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage clothing, and can't help wondering if Rosebud is hiding among the sleds.
ReplyDeletehow fun, reminds me of my youth-the sleds...
ReplyDeleteGreat lighting on these moody shots. I'd love to shop there.
ReplyDeleteOne of those sleds could be my old sled "Betsy." I don't know what happened to it. The first photo reminds me of the old fur coat I bought used in the early 1970's.
ReplyDeleteRosebud!!!
ReplyDeleteLove to stroll along with you, Sandy. Aloha-
Very interesting and unique. Something I wont see in the shops here.
ReplyDeleteI like the beautiful coats but would not have a chance to wear them in my warm country. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, in advance!
I gave you a linky love.
I haven't seen sleds like that in a long time. It looks as if these are a couple of neat stores.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at those coats. Gosh, I haven't even seen coats like that in an age.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Of course.
Interesting! I'd like to take a stroll in that antiques shop.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such old sleds! If it was here, they would be in a museum.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the people here used them as firewood during the war? That is a sad thought. I am glad to have seen your photo.
And always a need for sleds! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I love antiques.
ReplyDeleteSandy, Those photos bring back many cherished
ReplyDeletememories especially the sleds. My brother and I each had one and we loved sledding back in the 50's.
I am always amazed by antiques stores. They have an old soul and thousand of memories that pop up in your mind just by looking at them!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
Antique stores and libraries are places where I could spend a day with out the thought of food...
ReplyDeleteThe photos splendidly capture the spirit of antique stores, Sandy
wishes,

Nothing like a good antique. I'm one but I don't know if I'm good and I know I'm not for sale. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWoodbury looks like a place I'd like to visit. What neat stores these must be!
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo and I kind of like that black coat. We had sleds like that in the orphanage, along with a hill that we were able to sled down on. Great memories.
ReplyDeleteLove these window shots, beautiful displays of lovely old things.
ReplyDeleteI just love Antique shops, great idea and piccies.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the scarf! Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteLovley photos. How surprising to find out that old wooden sleds are now antiques! I can't be that old! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat place looks great! The kind of place you could loiter in for hours and hours.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful shop fronts. I have a sled very similar to the middle one shown which I got for Christmas around 1965. It worked well for my daughter in the 1980s and 1990s when she was growing up too. Ah memories.
ReplyDeleteI like to browse antique shops.Lovely photos.I can spend a lot of time there.Thanks for sharing.Wishing you well
ReplyDeleteOh! I may not appreciate them antiques yet, but I'd enjoy the story behind...
ReplyDeleteOhhh! I love antique browsing... not necessarily buying them though. But sometimes i do get carried away and find myself buying something that would not make that much of a dent on my pocket. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteJenn
Now Sandy, that's no way to talk about your neighbors! (heh heh heh)
ReplyDeleteI kid. Nice pair.
Of shots... jeez!
Real sleds! That brings back memories. I used to have one. I bet they don't even make them anymore. Too dangerous, I suppose.
ReplyDeletethe second photo is my type of subject. and you did a good job for that shoot.
ReplyDeleteI like the first picture with the coats.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting - the mid-century modern things that I'm into are also now considered vintage :)
I'll take the white coat and a sled to use once a year when we get snow-- I love to window shop but when it comes to antiques I want to touch
ReplyDeleteI've never been shopping there, Sandy. Woodbury Commons right? I love the two shots you took! :)
ReplyDeleteSandy-love the old items. Most of things I treasure are from the old days.
ReplyDeleteI think I used to own that sled!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful memories that brought back for me! I loved sledding on sleigh hill in my hometown in Idaho. The clothing reminds me of a shop we have in uptown vancouver -- it is called Diva and the models in the storefront always have soem old clothing on it. There are people that like those kinds of clothes and wear them regularly today! You got two neat photos filled with manymemories of others. . . ah! the good old days!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see these fascinating window displays. Thanks for sharing ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Thanks for being here.
