A customer writes:
“For anyone who recalls such childhood thrills
as losing a lazy afternoon in the back of an older
relative’s closet or drawers, emerging from shoe
boxes and stale fabric aglow with storylines
inevitably connected to every loose thread and scrap
of paper that escaped disposal, or over-stuffing
pockets and bags with stones or shells on a beach,
perfectly shaped pebbles or pinecones on a hike,
and the like, only to let an equal amount of time
pass arranging and sorting the findings, will not
be able to resist this shop. Ephemera and jewelry
are individually packaged and placed into boxes
or organizers alongside silverware tied with string
and classic novels, housewares, clothing, furniture,
and artwork, postcards, buttons, clasps, zippers,
appliances, lace, sculpture, hats, photographs,
cookbooks, all stacked with purpose and intent,
colors juxtaposed just-so, shapes echoing and
offsetting each other to make absorbing the entire
store nearly impossible. Each individual shelf,
corner, fraction of a wall must be taken on its own,
almost as artwork itself ... Thoreauly Antiques is
so composed, so humble, so endearing, it makes
anything that may qualify as junk instantly precious.
Antiquing has never been so easy on the eyes.”
