Nostalgia, isn't limited to archeological discoveries or old battlefields, it's also about last week's faded objects.<br /><br />I'm old enough to remember a time when we didn't collect stuff and display our collections on shelves and walls. "New" was once very important ... it offered sleeker, better (sometimes) and diversity ... sort of a commercial Manifest Destiny.

And great that your community is recording and safe-guarding the memories for those that come after us. Growing up in South Africa I appreciate recording what made communities special.

What is it please? i'm having no luck remebering nor googling.<br />xoxoJasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283448224861759770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-27486812498648223032012-09-09T22:05:05.634+02:002012-09-09T22:05:05.634+02:00We are very lucky here as we have a third generati...We are very lucky here as we have a third generation "real" drug store and full service soda fountain. We lost our first and original one two(?) years ago when the owner/pharmacist retired. Another drug store and soda fountain in a neighboring town was closed down fully stocked and is now a museum. Its open on holidays and by appointment.

The museum has now moved to a huge old house donated by a family. Yes, much dedication and hard work is required to set up and maintain the collections. <br /><br /> I couldn't help but notice the table cloth on the table in the kitchen display. I think I have the same one in my linen collection. Small world.celkaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641540970773683454noreply@blogger.com
