It was nice today so I got to get out on the Deluxe and enjoy the sun and the rumble of her V-twin and the feel of leaning into a good turn.  After having lunch up at my diner with a good friend of mine I head down into Waynesville proper and paid a visit to my friends who own a small antique store called "Lost in the Woods."  It's a nice little shop filled with lots of fun curios and relics from bygone eras.  Dave has a nice little collection of military antiques and collectibles and they have a halfway decent set of old 45's to thumb through as well.  They have a working jukebox that is filled with classic 50's and early 60's hits and every time I walk in the door it isn't too long before I start tapping my toes, snapping my fingers and singing along to the music. 
As I was browsing through their collection of odds and ends I stumbled upon a vintage box of TUMS.  As I picked up the small, fragile blue box I heard something shift inside.  I opened the box and found am antique pocket watch that had been tucked away inside of it.  I looked over to Dave and said "Hey, did you know that there is a pocket watch in this TUMS box?  He looked back at me with a look of utter confusion.  I handed him the box and the watch and he set to learning about the watch.  Both he and his wife were quite happy to find that they had something hidden away in an item!  

Dave's wife turned me onto a little cafe that opened up a little while back and is attached to a flower shop just a little ways down Route 66 from their antique shop.  It's a little place called "Back in the Day" and according to Jane is decked out in plenty of old school vintage vibe and memorabilia!  Unfortunately they are closed until some time in February.  So I will have to get the skinny on that place out next month!  Stay tuned!
