Stay classy, guys.

On a recent road trip to Purcellville, Virginia, the artist's muse and I wandered into a store full of fascinating things from the past. The store, "It's Bazaar on 21st Street," was a trip down memory lane. When you're old, you recognize too many things in an antique store as items you remember from your youth. How time flies.
