Euro Treasures Antiques

Gary, a friend of my husband's (Gary, who's Gary?) told him about this new antiques warehouse in downtown Salt Lake. Apparently it's the world's largest collection of antiques ever sold, and it's all in a huge, cold warehouse on 600 S. There are some pictures on this website: http://www.eurotreasures.net/. So we found the entrance, tucked away on the south side of the building (you can't park on the south side) and let ourselves in. We stepped inside an unheated building (at least it felt that way) surrounded by rows of towering furniture aligned in what seemed like a maze. We made our way through the narrow aisles enthralled by the furniture, some of it beautiful, and others in need of a little (or a lot) of TLC. There is SO MUCH to see there--a little (or a lot) of everything! I was almost afraid we'd lose our children, so I made sure they stayed nearby, but at one point the 5 and 7 year olds wandered off. My husband found them quickly, but I think Simon was done in. That was a scary place for a little one! Later that night, after he had already gone to bed, he came downstairs and told us that he hadn't wanted to go to that place! So obviously he was still thinking about the dark, seemingly skyscraping furniture he saw all over. Trevor and I plan to go back, but sans children next time.

Not to change the subject, but my family and I love popcorn and movies! So I'm entering the contest sponsored by weightwatchen.com (http://weightwatchen.com/) and Orville Redenbacher's (http://orville.com/) to win free popcorn and Netflix movies for a year! Yeeha!
