I arrived in Omaha yesterday morning! A few days ago I wasn’t even certain where Nebraska was…I thought it was east of South Dakota. What?!?!
My friend James is in a really fantastic artist residency program at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha. So I decided to visit.
Upon arrival, James gave me the quick tour of the the Old Market area which is where the Bemis live/work studios are. He needed to get back to work so I decided to go get a coffee and walk around. Several blocks of the Old Market area have some pretty great antique shops.
This is one that I wandered into — The Fairmont. It is an antique mall and a candy store. I walked in and the candy store was a sensory overload with rows of candy, a hot pink car, things hanging from the ceiling, over sized stuffed animals….my nieces would have loved it.
Then as I walked through the antique mall, it was like walking through my childhood. Themed lunchboxes, board games, cabbage patch dolls, pull-tab beer cans….it was great. Here are a few pics.
More about Omaha next week! xoxoxox
