Sunday Meet-up:
Hey all! So, I was up in Silver Spring on Sunday rummaging thru thift shops and bazaars, met a cool old toothless conjureman, and bought a bunch of bangup junk.
On the way back down headed towards Arlington, I stagged this sign in Kensington what read: "Antiques Row"...so, I spun round me chariot to have a gander.
It's awesome. Old-timey shop-fronts in a neighborhood with old-timey houses, old timey nooks with old-timey antique shops. All was closed, as it was eventide, but a quick ambulation thru the digs was enough to sell me. Everything just quaint as could be...almost like stepping back in time. More so than the Renn Faire, for sure! lol!
Crom's Bones, the logo of Antiques Row is a little dude with a bushy waxed stache and a bowler...
Had a little Tea-Room, seemed to be called "The Tea Room" but I guess it's specifically the Country Cupboard Tea Room.
Reckon a dozen or so Antique shops...most just 'antiques' but some sorta more specialty...Oriental (their word, not mine) antiques, antique books, one said 'Curiosities', one, the Fine Swine (logo is a pig w a monocle and topper), read 'Traditional clothing'.
Anyway, here's the skinny: My Lady and I gwan be there at the Tea Room (3750 Howard Ave. Kensignton MD) at 2:00 on Sunday. Couple of the boys from The Guild's original family gwan be thar as well...I reckon Wraste gwan be thar, for instance. All of y'all what ain't come met up with us afore, oughta join.
After Tea, or what have you, we's gwan walk round pickin thru the shops...so if'n yer interested, stuff yer pockets with some folding swag in case you git that urge to impulse-buy some flash old knickknack.
Uh...k, I reckon I ain't on the Forum so much these days, but go ahead and send me a PM if'n there's any head-scratchin bout what's going on...or ask Wraste...he's got me down close and knows what's what.
