Description
Photograph of booths at a Chamber of Commerce exhibit, where you can buy pressed flowers or antiques, ca.1930. A booth styled like an old English house stands to the right of center with a woman in the large front window. The woman looks down as she uses her right hand to hold an object on the glass case in front of her. A sign inside reads "antiques" while a sign outside the door reads "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe". An extension of the house on the left has a rectangular opening with framed pictures inside and an exterior sign that reads "Fleurette Shop Pressed Flower Pictures Cora Harrison Schafer". An elderly woman sits at a table in front of the booth on the left.
