What a treat to see inside! Thanks
Hoss.
That last photograph made me think of notions. Does anyone know why sewing accessories are called 'notions'?
That's something I've never been able to figure out.
(it's a word from my childhood, our small drugstore in my hometown sold notions)

That reminds me, every February the elderly lady owner (Geneva Ryan) would order heart-shaped boxes of candy for all the married men in town. (population 600)
Then she would call (I remember her calling our house) to tell the men to come and pick up the candy for their wives on Valentines Day.
(the divorce rate in our town was quite low
)
