What happens when you enter a house with over 70 years of accumulation? Well, let me just tell you.... it's a treasure trove of goodies. This house is jam packed with vintage fabulousness. Now please note that I can probably count on my two hands the amount of items that aren't vintage, so assume it's vintage, unless I say "not vintage". Sergeant Paul Griffin was stationed in England, Germany and France durning WWII. After the war, and college (where he earn a pharmacy degree), he began a long career with Eli Lilly. Just before leaving for the war, he married the "perfect" wife (as you can read in one of his many letters home). She loved to sew (especially quilts) and cook. Throughout the house, we discovered tons of WWII and pharmacy relics that we can't wait to share with you. There is also lots of cub scout items, toys and games (from their two children), furniture, tools, artwork, jewelry, and on and on and on. Here is a list of some of what you will find:
