We live in an area where there are a lot of antique stores. Something about wine tasting and buying antiques go together in some people’s minds. Maybe the wine helps people pay way too much money for something way too old.

We went to Lafayette today to check out a store. The store occupies the entirety of an old school building. The building is gorgeous and is just filled to the brim with things to look at. The school building seems like a place that I would have wanted to go to school.

The kids and my friend Julie and I all went and had a blast looking at all the wonderful things. It was such a lovely way to spend the day, and it was nice that neither of us ended up buying one single thing. We were both just looking. I DID, however, find a beautiful workable, perfect-for-us dining room table that I wouldn’t mind adopting. Some day, I will get a table just like it, some day!

There is a slide out the side of the school building that I imagine was used as a fire escape. Daphne thought that it was just amazing!
