After early breakfast, we spent some time in the Passport Pub getting directions to some stores for a day of antiquing. Sarah and I have decided to search for some antique frames to begin putting more of our travel and personal photos on the wall. It was a beautiful Sunday for a drive, sun shinning and about 75 degrees. The only problem I enchanted here is getting bitten up by mosquitoes on the porch the other evening.
Our first stop was Belfast to a store called Old Stuff. However, it was closed but up the road was another wonderful but what seem like expensive place called Pumpkin Patch. We did not see any frames. Sarah mentioned that she would like a small table where I have the suitcases in the living room. We look at a table that folded out at the sides and had a column base. I said we would have no room for the suitcases. I mentioned that I did not want to lose the look of a living room that was travel oriented. What to do? The wonders of a relationship, how do you compromise two reasonable but different and at times opposing visions/viewpoints. I proposed the compromise position that we look for a writing table with legs and then could have photos and knickknacks on top but place the suitcases down below. That fought seem to carry the day.
An 1812 writing desk caught our fancy but we wanted to look around more before we decided. We headed of to the third antique spot Jack mentioned and found a wealth of fantastic old frames. We ended up filing two boxes with frames. A gentlemen took some fun photos of us acting silly in from of the place.
