Now here's an antique store you don't see every day..

Last week Steve and I motored up to Placerville, California and tootled around the museum and shops. We stopped in this antique store and immediately my morbid (pun intended) curiosity took over! I asked the owner if I could snap a few pics and she graciously agreed. The shop is called Gothic Rose Antiques and I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. I was impressed with the way she merchandised and displayed all the weird and wonderful treasures...

  1. Oh I love this shop, reminds me of the one that I've posted about before called Uncommon Objects. Their displays seem similar and I think I've seen this shop either on a blog or I think they might have a website. Do you know if they do. Thanks for posting.

  7. She does have some very unique treasures! (that head in the glass case at the end looks like a horror movie). Very interesting. Thanks for showing us. laurie
