Visiting what I call "junk shops" is a treat for me. Officially, the owners of these businesses like to refer to their shops as "antique stores." You say to-may-toe; I saw to-mot-toe.
Since I have an affinity to objects of yesteryear, I absolutely love browsing through the nooks and crannies of these shops. Occasionally I will come home with someone else's junk, but mostly, the fun really comes from just looking at the never-ending stuff!
This week, my eldest 1-of-3 and I had some time to look through some of these shops. Hence, this week's LOL photo. This RCA Victor Portable made me laugh. It looks like it is straight out of a teenage bedroom or modern kitchen of the 1950s or 60s. What made me laugh the most was the handle on top! I mean really, how many people do you think carried one of these around? It's not exactly a lightweight. And the rabbit ears sticky out the back, those were a flashback. My kids don't even know what those are!
I walked about 20 feet around the corner and laughter struck again. Not only had I just passed by the cool, hip version of the mobile television but I now was staring at the living room version right off the set of Happy Days.
