my neck of the woods

Last Sunday, while the staff was preparing for the manor ball, it was
a perfect day, so WT and I took off in the old green Land Rover on a
glorious fall drive up to Delaware. No, not the state, the little Ohio
town, named after the Delaware Indians.


The main street is the charming typical vintage American

style, and what used to be the business heart of the town, with banks

and hardware stores, is now filled with antique shops and such.

There's a great vintage clothing store with Kramer in the window,

peeping out, one eyebrow raised, from the hats and accessories.

The sidewalks have been nicely bricked and wonderful lush moss
(I know. I am nutty for moss.) is growing between. I found two lovely
brown vintage bottles; a large twelve inch pharmacy bottle, and a
very old nine inch Phillips Cod Liver Oil, New York. Both treasures
for $10.
