The Wonders of Age
This weekend I took Cara to the Brass Armadillo, the antique place in Grain Valley. I popped her antique cherry I guess! There is nothing quite like an antique store, especially an antique SUPER store. You never know quite what you are going to find and it is quite funny to see what other consider “antique”.
