Some more photos... I posted here and also on Facebook.

I have posted some photos of downtown Bowling Green, Kentucky at Fountain Square Park today and also of the Pots Place, outside and inside.

Here are a few:

Hanging out at the Labold and Sons Salvage in Bowling Green, Kentucky

I finally made it to Labold and Sons Salvage in Bowling Green Kentucky. It is at the site of Spot Cash, which I had just started shopping at last year. They had some great socks there that Rickey liked. I enjoyed talking to the proprietor, who had some stories about years of working at the location.

I have been so curious to see this store for ages. I have heard only good things about it.

I took pictures outside the store. I had a lot of fun looking at all the items displayed there. I had to look slowly because each display is packed with things to look at.

They had all kinds of treasures there. Many were quaint and retro. I saw a wooden doll that looked like a sister to one my grandmother gave me once. They had lots of bicycles, rust and all. They had wicker chairs, scarves, pins, and some great pillow purses too.

I went downstairs too to see what was there. They had baskets, clothing, toys, more bikes, furniture, and birdcages, among many other items.

What I liked the most was the jewelry. I told myself I would come back with retro treasures packed in boxes to trade in two weeks.

Wish me luck! I will go through things and I know I can find some things to trade. I have always liked retro collectibles, so this will be fun.

Now, here are a few photos.

Open! More neat stuff is inside.

Love this street. The Pots Place is in the next block.

Cute table! It would look good in a display window...

You can find more photos of Labold and Sons Salvage here on Facebook. 

Comments? Just leave 'em below.

 Tallyho!

A beautiful Trumpet Vine with orange flowers

I have always loved these orange trumpet vines next door to the back entrance of the Pots Place.

The vines are in the alley across from Mariah's restaurant parking lot, draped beautifully on a building there. 

They climb all over the other building next to the neighbor's building, and I really like how these vines look.

Here are a couple photos I took of them yesterday.

Luxuriant tropical-looking vines.

So pretty!

There are also some of these in front of the back entrance to the Pots Place. They have been used as a bush there. I don't see the flowers as often, because they get trimmed so much. They grow really fast (I can attest to that!) - and they are pretty cut an in a vase too. I have not cut the neighbor's vines, but I have trimmed the Pots Place ones.

Anyway, these are so pretty, I thought I would share them today. I think having the same plants could point to a relationship between store owners long ago. Maybe there is a story behind them. Who knows? These vines and flowers are so jungle-like...

And here is a photo I found called "Kauai: Orange Trumpet Vine" on Flickr.
