While we were strolling the streets of Sheridan, we came upon an antique store and went in. Although we ended up buying some western belts, I also found some doors that you door-meisters might appreciate. This fabulous stove had a wonderful door…as well as a hefty price tag.
There were also that aren’t called doors, (are they trunk-ated?),
doors to a 1930’s Edison model R-6 radio cabinet,
doors to learning (in the “old” days) that are sometimes called “drawers”, and
even several “real” doors.

How lovely! Great doors
Thanks very much, Sheree. ๐

Great antiques!
They did have some drool-worthy items.

Nice. ๐๐ป
Thanks!

There is just something about old trunks that I find irresistible – like the one in the foreground of the 3rd photo. To me it speaks of adventure!
I completely agree, Joanne.
Oh my goodness, that stove and the card catalog – those are beautiful. Great job, Janet!
Thanks, Dan. I was excited to be able to find so many nice doors in the shop. But that stove is just incredible.
Loving your doors ๐
Thanks, Becky, Iโm glad.

That is one seriously ostentatious stove.
But isnโt it gorgeous?
I’d be worried about using it in case I got it sooty. ๐
I get that, but still…
I love going into shops like those… so many treasures
So much that has to be resisted. ๐
janet
That is for sure
Oooh, I love the library card boxes- er, um, doors, and the trunks! The stove was very elaborate!
I fondly remember library cards, although the internet is so much more useful. The stove is amazing!
I would love to have the card catalog! My first job was working in the local library and I so remember those! Wonderful finds.
When the internet replaced the card catalog, I wasn’t a fan, but it’s really much more useful. I wouldn’t mind having the card catalog, though.
How cool and unique, Janet! That stove! Oh my goodness, it is gorgeous!! I love the little index card box-system!! Cher xo
Hi, Cher. Yes, that stove is amazing, but so is the card catalog in its own way. ๐
That’s true, Janet!!
What a great place, Janet! It might be hard to leave ๐ ๐
True but itโs better up the mountain at the cabin, so wasnโt that hard to leave. ๐. And then thereโs the money issue. ๐
I haven’t thought about the Dewey Decimal System of Classification in quite some time. Thanks for the nudge and the faint smell of old library books. Wonderful photos today.
ฮฉ
Ah, the smell of books, old or new! I bet you too remember sniffing a test paper for ditto fluid smell. ๐๐
Oh, my, yes I do. Do you remember the paper being too wet to write on if the teacher was tardy printing them out? Great memories of a forgotten age.
ฮฉ
Ooh I just love places like this; you’d lose me for at least a few hours in there. That stove is in amazing condition.
It wasn’t a huge shop but they had a plethora of wonderful things. I found a belt and some earrings, but I would have loved the stove. ๐
janet
What a sweet find! I love places like that, and I appreciate you taking me inside ๐ That stove is utterly GORGEOUS! Oof!
Yes, that stove!! Iโm happy you could come along, even though I had to drag you out. ๐
In this age of mass machine production, the dedication that went into decorating antiques by hand is sorely missed…
Of course they werenโt antiques then. ๐. I know what you mean. I see the same thing in houses. Our house in Cleveland, built in the 1930โs, had all sorts of beautiful details. Now you either wouldnโt get them or youโd pay through the nose.
You are very lucky to call such a valuable building – in aesthetic value – home, Janet – does it have the pressed ceilings?
Itโs not our home, just a store. I donโt know about the ceilings. Iโll have to check the photos I took.
Sorry, Janet – I crossed our lines again. I meant the 1930’s house in Cleveland you mentioned.
Ah, yes. ๐ It was lovely. But had regular ceilings.
That stove is a real beauty!
I thought so, too. ๐
The stove is gorgeous! ๐
