Last week on a drive through Bethesda I passed a store called Accessories of Old. I wanted to stop in but I had Clemmy with me and the time just wasn't right. Flash forward to this weekend, Brian and I had lunch at The Burger Joint in Bethesda so we decided to stop in Accessories of Old and it was love at first sight!
