I neglected to do a post about the great new antique place I found: Back in Time Collectibles & Crafts in Richfield Springs, NY. I found it quite by accident. I was headed for the library, which of course I drove right past (anybody who knows me is not surprised). Turning back and finding the library, I saw Back in Time and could not resist checking it out.
One lump or two?
As soon as I walked in the door the collection of tea cups caught my eye. My sisters, mother, and nieces have had a few fancy tea parties. It is actually my turn to host one. I don’t know if I could dare purchase and use such beautiful old cups!
You know I looked at the jewelry!
Vintage jewelry, on the other hand, I rarely hesitate to wear, unless I am going someplace where I may get too rambunctious. Regular readers know I do not always behave with the proper decorum of a woman my age.
Something for the Disney fans.
Full disclosure: I am not a Disney addict, have never been to World or Land, and I don’t love Mickey Mouse. If anybody feels the need to cut my acquaintance because of this, I will understand. I took the picture, because I like to include pictures I think people will like. Also, there is a lot going on here: Hot Wheels and PEZ, for example.
Tins I can get into! Not literally.
I do like tins. Actually, I have too many tins. My late husband Steve and I were in the habit of picking them up at rummage sales and such, because we thought we would put Christmas presents in them. “Put a present in a present,” was Steve’s motto. It didn’t always work out. For one reason, we couldn’t always fit a present to a tin. For another, sometimes the recipient would say, “Oh, here’s your tin back!”
I did not buy any Christmas presents at Back in Time. For one reason, I was there in January. When I buy Christmas presents that early, I tend to forget them by December. I bought a sweet tiny frog for myself. Steven used to collect frogs.
Back in Time Collectibles & Crafts is located at 112 Main St., Richfield Springs, NY, phone number 315-858-6003.
