As much as I would like to, I haven't had a chance to visit many antique stores.
However, on my recent trip to India, I had the pleasure to visit an antique store in Rajasthan, in the outskirts of the city of Jaipur. It wasn't any known place but my aunt had found it just by accident- almost like finding treasure:)
I was as excited to go as a little girl going to Disneyland.
The store housed a myriad of beautiful pieces, from lanterns to jharokhas, from old clocks to brass handis, from wooden blocks to carved furniture, and much, much more. I not only feasted my eyes but brought quite a few beauties home with me:)
I was a happy, happy gal!
Here are a few shots from my camera....while I strolled through the alleys of the three storied shop.
