The Shimers Go Antique-ing!

So, on Saturday, I needed to run to the local antique shop to ask their expertise on a piece of jewelry for a customer. Instead of just going there and going home, Justin came too and we made a night out of it :)

We started off at the Dusty Rose Antique Mall in downtown Titusville. I asked my question, then we perused. And man were we glad we did :)

We got: Billy Joel's Piano Man album on vinyl...
A pair of old fashioned work goggles:
Really, I don't see how there were ever considered "safe". They're really sweet though. They have the types of ear pieces you have to coil around your ear.
Here is Justin looking oh so John Lennon.

We also got quite the assortment of old cameras :) We went through about 12 cameras on display and picked the 4 that still work.
An Ansco Ready Flash
A Spartus Press Flash
An Anscoflex TLR
And a Konica Tomato :)
We have happily added these to our collection. I think we have around 80 film cameras now (possibly more - yes, I know). But in our defense, we do use the cameras. In fact, we used the Spartus on Sunday in our photo shoot with the Thor family. So there.

After our antique store promenade, we decided to go to a local Chinese restaurant we have wanted to try called David's. It was great :) If you are in the Titusville area, I highly recommend it.

To top it all off, we had talked about lots of things over dinner and the fortunes in our cookies were amazingly pertinent.
We had such a nice time. We love little adventures, and were so glad to have a date night :)
