A few days ago, I went for a outing in the mountains of my city. I was actually on my way to eat one of the best soups in town, but on my way down, I saw that a small, very cute place that sells typical Venezuelan Andes desserts was open, so I decided to stop for a moment to buy some sweets. To my surprise, when I entered the store, it was full of all kinds of old collectibles. So, I asked the owner for permission to take some pictures and she said yes.
This is the view of the store from outside. They sell all kinds of food here, but I stopped specifically for the typical sweets:
All the stores in this area had a beautiful rustic facade.
This is the name of the store I visited on this occasion, "Sweet tradition" :
Inside, I found all kinds of old and not-so-old telephones:
Surely some of you will recognize these. They were next to an old radio:
The place had a very beautiful and vintage decoration:
An old lamp:
A steam iron:
The owner of the place explained that some things work, but most of them no longer do and are on display as a kind of "museum" of old things inside their store. To be honest, I was very surprised by this, in addition to the fact that it was a very beautiful decoration, it was interesting to see all these things.
Behind the store there was a farm, and although it was not allowed to pass, from where I was I could see a very beautiful decorative scene that immediately caught my attention and obviously I had to take a picture of it. This was one of my favorite photos of this day:
For me, it was a complete surprise to find these hidden gems in a little shop in the middle of the mountains.
I hope you found these photos as interesting as I did!
As time goes by, this era is also increasingly developing, these items are indeed no longer used, but there are also those who still use them because they are considered more economical, but my grandfather still uses them, especially fire lamps.
