While I was travelling home from Missouri last week, I discovered Ottawa, Kansas, the county seat of Franklin county. I fell in love with the courthouse and the town. Driving slowly along the main street, I discovered this place - Our House Runneth Over Antiques.
A lovely couple bought the building about 6 weeks ago and are working to clean up and get it operating. At 8:30, on a very hot Wednesday morning, Mr Runneth Over and his helper were putting the sign on the awning. Mrs Runneth Over was inside readying the shop. I spent quite a while looking, even more time visiting, and ended up with three things from there. My favorite purchase was a tea cup and saucer:
I wish I had bought another set to have a pair, so I’ll have to make another trip that way (aw shucks!) to stop in again.
