Best. Store. Ever!

Dec

stored in: Life

On Christmas Eve, my dad had some last-minute errands to run for my mom, and since I was already awake in the wee hours of the morning, I thought I’d tag along, just in case we went somewhere that I could find a good White Elephant gift. My wishes were answered though and my dad, brilliant as ever, pulled into this dilapidated warehouse building on Murfreesboro Rd. in La Vergne… He talked this place up like it was his favorite store or something. Well, as soon as I stepped through the door, I realized that it fit my dad perfectly. Wandering around wide-eyed in amazement through the junk isles, this store blew my mind. And I want to share it with you. Check it out: Merchandise Liquidators.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, I took them with my cell phone. BUT! You should still get a good idea of the shop. Holla!

When you look at these pictures, I hope you share in my delight at the randomest junk store I’ve ever seen. Click the pictures for the full-size.

: Ever the eye-catcher

: My favorite item from this list that has no context to anything else in the store: “5. Oh Pam stop that”

: My dad checking out a picture of some sort. Notice the plethora of random trinkets and decorations…

: “Fantasy Prince on Horseback,” a Vols helmet, and Gandalf cast in porcelain. No joke… this place apparently has it all!

: This must be the magic isle. Wizards made cheaply, ceramic pink dragons, more wizards, and dog decorations. Yup. The randomness of their inventory NEVER ceases to make me scratch my head.

: There’s actually not enough room anywhere to move these stairs… and creepy porcelain dolls and collectables are in the glass case to the left

: Wooden boats (it’s Noah’s Ark), boats, and porcelain pirates. Notice the cheap prices: $5

: Dixie flags, Titans flags, wooden propellor clock, boat houses, chicken sculptures, and at the end of the isle, all sorts of hardware and tools.

: All sorts of baubles and ornaments… stupid decorations NATION in this area. And that’s my dad checking something out.

: Shell soap dispenser, “stone-carved grapes,” “grape ornaments,” bowls, vases, etc.

: George Foreman grills, glass oil lamps, rat poison, and other junk I can’t remember.

: Stuffed cats, blue hats, colored pencils

: This is just around the corner from the check-out counter. Look at the plethora of items here and how it’s arranged… organization FAIL.This is just around the corner from the check-out counter. Look at the plethora of items here and how it’s arranged… organization FAIL.
