Having an affinity for antiques and anything vintage, I'm lucky to live in Athens, GA where there are several vintage stores to satisfy my treasure hunting needs. Avoiding looming deadlines, I decided to explore part of highway 441 heading south from Athens, to check out some antique/junk shops I've seen driving through Bishop, Georgia.  Located in this small crossroads community, I found The Frosted Lion antique shop.  I had seen it several times before in passing but never had the time to stop.  The shop resides in what appears to be a turn of the century two story commercial brick building, with a striking red storefront.  The self-proclaimed antique/junk store occupies the entire ground floor of the building, so needless to say I was there for quite a while.

I found countless pieces of china and furniture (of course) of interest to me, however I made a promise last year not to buy anymore large items until we know where we are moving post grad school.  So I indulged myself with photos...

There were so many books I wanted to take home! But with an already full book shelf, I resisted, and took home a few fun items from the 1950s.

Ryan and I lived in Hawaii for a few years so when we find old Hawaiian records, I can't pass them up.

The one thing I did need...no more scribbled recipes floating around the kitchen!
