The Claremont Chamber of Commerce building is one of the most beautiful in the downtown. I've wanted to photograph their etched glass chandelier, antique molding, twisting dark wood stairs and stained glass windows since the first time I randomly wandered in there.
This time I ducked in due to an freak thunderstorm (glad I brought my Nicole Miller umbrella).
This is some kind of Real Estate office, but I just loved the windows.
I saw an 18 inch doll sized park bench in a second hand bookstore. I asked the owner where she got it, and she told me "Nana's Attic". When I met up with the other person I was traveling with, she had also been to a store called "Nana's Treasures".
So I had her drop me off there while she went off to do some other things (I would've walked but I was starting to Not Feel Well).
Nana's Treasures is kinda...big. It's three floors, apparently, although I only saw the main floor. It's just endless piles of weird junk. Some of it genuine antiques, some of it collectibles, some of it adorable kitsch, and some of it horrifying and tacky...
But I found plenty of things I wanted to take home, two miniature glass vases, a doll for one of my dolls, and a yellow/gold brocade clutch for myself.
