Step Back in Time in My Vintage General Store

My husband has built fake store fronts inside our Car Museum to house some of our Junk Collectibles.  This Car Museum is in our yard and is 12,000 sq feet!


(Yep, I'm in California) 

Today I will show pictures of the General Store. 

For years I have collected old spice cans, cans, Drug Store items, coffee cans, signs, cash register, bottles,  etc.  Every Flea Market or Garage Sale I would go to I would pick up something.  Some of the items use to belong to my father or grandmother! You can't just keep them in a box in your garage.  To much to display in your kitchen, so..... my husband built me a fake store front of a general store to display my items!

Is this not awesome or what?
The two outside windows are very special to me.  They are from the house I grew up in, the house that my father built for us!   

These old Miner Gold Pans had old lanterns added to them so my husband added lights and I have those flickering lights that look like candles burning!
Old metal Signs hanging outside the store

We added vintage lanterns as lights above the walkway








Check out the hanging lights inside the General Store.  They are vintage Mason jars with lights in them!



Thank you for visiting my General Store with me!

I am also hooking up with Suzanne at Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday!
