I can always tell when my husband isn’t going to like an antique store.

.

.

You know the type…. filled with shabby chic and crafty things. He cruises through those stores quickly and rarely enjoys himself,

.

.

Until he turned a corner in this one and saw the shredded wheat crate he’d just purchased for $25…

.

.

(Yes, he collects wooden yard sticks. Don’t ask.) ….was selling for $125.

.

.

Then? He was a fan.

.

.

And chuckled at a few things.

Especially the creative way the owners of this old schoolhouse decided to deal with their roof leak.

New shingles? Not exactly.

.

.

Indoor guttering.

Odd… but you have to admit, it is interesting.
