baker's dozen ...

... if you are in Vancouver, you gotta go ... just a quaint little antique shop .... that isn't so quaint .... more quirky than quaint,  a gallery of all things timeless ... and you can buy the items!!! ... tight and crowded but loads of fun ... you really gotta go ....
Ah, Signage ....

 The windows are always amusing ...

 i would have killed for this typewriter ... well almost ...

 love the mix of old meets new (vintage styled bunny) ...

 religious icons ...

 vintage and reproduction toys ...

 baseball anyone ...

 not your most fetching family ...
 vintage reproduction sign ....
 every mirror needs a skull .... there were tons of skulls in this shop ...

 vintage plushies ....
I had this teddy bear growing up, only mine was the yellow of the stuffed bunny .... but this loveable face ....

and as an added bit of enjoyment, there is a gallery in the back, well side ... it wasn't open the day we visited ... and no photos allowed .... i cant wait to go back and see it.

peace love and paper!
Jo
