When I was young one of my favorite things to do when we would visit my Grandmother's house was to explore her basement. There were so many mysteries to discover and fears to face. (like the giant poster of
Mark Spitz and his 7 gold medals) When Julie and I were married we had the chance to move into the coveted "basement apartment", just down the hall of all the rooms of mystery, so of course, we took it.
With permission from the family, Julie and I spend time cleaning parts of the house and discover some amazing treasures. Our favorite is finding old boxes and perusing the contents, sometimes of which we find vintage toys, tools, books and more. The house is filled with a wealth of treasures including some that are over a hundred years old.
Here are some of our recent finds......
