Hardware and Variety

Thursday, December 23, 2010

Hmph. If not for the lights and decorations, it wouldn't feel like Christmas.

I can't really believe that tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Odd, isn't it? Anyway, I

just took this shot as we were coming home from hearing some friends play

music. I've always loved this little hardware store. It's very old-fashioned and

has that distinct general store smell.

anything specific." ~ Stephen Wright

50 Word Story:

Quaint

A door on squeaky hinges opens, revealing a cozy store. The smell of dog

food, metal, fresh cut wood, and antiques fills the room, washing over those in

the shop. Shiny, old-style toys, pet supplies, hardware, birdhouses, flags,

doormats, and little knick knacks line the shelves. Always familiar and

welcoming.
