The General Store, Part I

I am happy to report that I made it out into the old store on Saturday afternoon with camera in hand. The store had become storage and it was driving me nuts. I had grand visions of spending two hours out there and making the whole place over but I quickly remembered that would take an entire team of contractors, builders, and painters. Oh, and one really good cleaning crew. Little old me did manage to move a bunch of my junk to the back room and do a little sweeping and such.

The Before:

The After:
And all the stuff in between that I know you will love:

There are bits and pieces all around the old store that hint of her glory days. Old handwritten signs, bits and pieces of old merchandise, the beautiful worn wood floors, and much more. Notice the old safe above that we don't have the combination for. I don't think anyone does. I would love to know what might be inside there.

To be continued...
