I took my second roll antique shopping with my ma, Colleen. She knows a lady named Renslow who she keeps in good business. It was a short adventure but full of timeless pieces for me. It’s funny the things you don’t want to buy once captured in a photograph; uniquely burnt onto a piece of film in authentic transaction, a node of currency. It felt like purchasing stories instead. My shutter clicked and clacked back like a cash machine drawer.
My mother had many rooms furnished in many ways from Renslow’s antique goods, with an overflow in my parent’s storage.
My brother in-law, Ryan, once made an impeccable joke. Outstanding.
He advised my mother to open a store next door to Renslow’s, who had survived on the trade of antique and used goods for decades now… and he advised her to name it Colleen’s Renslow’s.

Angels, in fact, look very different than that.
