Today, I found a neat little treasure in
downtown Athens! My Speech Communication class...titled the Communication of Collection, gave us the opportunity to head out around town to various locations that house 'collections.' Some people went to
Jittery Joe's to see their collection of coffees, some people went to
Wuxtry Records to see the collections of records, and some people went to
Trappeze Pub to see their collection of beers.
Our group was lucky enough to get to go to
Agora, a neat little antique/vintage shop downtown on Clayton Street that I had never been to before. You can find just about anything in that shop...it's amazing!
I took lots of pictures, but unfortunately the camera on my phone is not that great [I think that's what happens when your phone goes swimming :/] so a lot of them turned out pretty blurry. But I'll share the best ones with you.
When you first walk in the store, you're greeted by TONS of beautiful jewelry!!
Lots of shoes...including these vintage Manolos!!
Designer bags were EVERYWHERE! Some were vintage, some were fairly new and at GREAT prices!
My group and I spent quite some time trying to figure out exactly what this spaceship-like contraption was hanging from the ceiling...we never figured out what it was!
Bicycles hanging from the ceiling, dirt bike helmets, and lamps...you really can find anything and everything here!
This picture doesn't do these amazing necklaces justice!
They had stacks and stacks of records, 8-tracks, cassette tapes and cd's!
Next time you're wandering around downtown Athens, I recommend you stop in and check out this neat little treasure...you never know what you're going to find!
