THRILL OF THE
HUNT Looking to add a little adventure to your shopping? Visit some area antique stores, estate sales and vintage shows to get in on the excitement that comes with the hunt. Hunting for treasures from days gone by is more exciting than the humdrum routine of other shopping experiences. You never know what you might find, but whatever you discover, it has a unique history and its own special story. For some, antiquing is a hobby; it can be as simple as searching for some interesting home décor or a beloved collectible. For others, it’s a passion that has less to do with possessing an object and more to do with finding it. No matter which camp you fall into, Alabama has plenty of places where walking among spaces and shelves is like walking back in time. They range from barely standing shacks filled with jumbles of dusty, musty, rusty “junk” to elegant buildings and homes boasting more orderly displays of fine china and rare furnishings. A favorite spot for some of the finer things right here at home is Montgomery Antiques & Interiors, and Joy magazine asked Andrew Thrasher, General Manager of Montgomery Antiques & Interiors, his take on what makes antiquing so much fun.
