This shop is the oddity hunter’s sexy dream. Upstairs looks like the usual antique fare, but downstairs in the basement, oooh, it’s a different story!
That is an ACTUAL treasure chest full of bizarre and wonderful things! It’s mostly cheap trinkets, but every drawer is filled with something different. And once you break the seal by opening a drawer, it is an overwhelming duty to open each and every one. I had repetitive strain by the last drawer, and Sarah had her fingers stuck in a Chinese finger trap. It was exhilarating, I tell you.
I resisted a Victorian toy lion, a plethora of catholic kitsch and framed pictures of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I did not resist magazine adverts from the 1940s and a postcard of a creepy cat in a Halloween hat.
My day was made absolutely perfect by spying these cats having a snooze in the Cannabis Culture Headquarters. They are some very mellow felines.
Meow, man.
