Some people grumble because roses have thorns; I am thankful that some thorns have roses

Can't help it....

Medina, Ohio, United States
I would rather go to a flea market and dig through old boxes of stuff...than go to the Mall. I am a romantic at heart. I like the cozy feeling I get in a room decorated with tea-dyed lace curtains at the windows and old leather books stacked on oak shelves worn from many years of use. I prefer hard wood floors with hand braided wool rugs instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. I love hand sewn quilts on beds with pillows that have pillowcases with embroidery accenting the edges. and kitchens with vintage flowered dishes in the cupboards... I was just born in the wrong era. The 1930's would have suited me much better.... Oh well, I have adjusted as best I can. When I come home at night, I enter my little world, that is full of all my treasures, and wonderful finds from the past. I am happy. I own an antique shop that is located in the Historic Train Depot in Medina Ohio. Built in 1894. Medina Depot Antiques was opened on November 5th 1994...and I've been having a great time ever since. Antiques, and what they represent, are my passion.

the sound of music...

My victrola... a princess style from the 1920's


Milan, Ohio, is the birth place of Thomas Edison. There is a museum in this small town full of his inventions. You can tour his house where he grew up, a small white clap board house, modest and quaint, but the antiques in it are beautiful. Milan also has a few great antique shops. One which only deals in vintage phonographs and other sound equipment. It carries a slew of old 78 records too, that would take you a full day to look through. I love this place! It is called The Sights and Sounds Of Edison... Antique Shop. I recommend a visit to Milan as a great way to spend a day.
