FLORENCE, COLORADO: Tour of Legends and Lace Antiques

I was sneaking around Florence--the antiques capital of Colorado--taking pictures of the steampunk window displays. Legends and Lace Antiques, 131 W. Main St., has one of the best window displays in town. And while I was there, I thought, why not go on a virtual tour of Legends and Lace?

I've been saying for over a year (when Florence had its first steampunk and wine festival) that Florence should be the unofficial steampunk capital of Colorado. Not just because of the newish steampunk festival--but because Florence has so many shops that have carried steampunk, Victorian and industrial items, for years and years.

One of the best examples in town is Legends and Lace.

If you love Victoriana like I do--prepare yourself.

Yum! Legends and Lace also provides handmade, handsewn custom lampshades like the one above. I should know. I have a custom Legends and Lace lampshade in my over-the-top gypsy, Victorian decor at my own house.

Double yum! Downton Abbey--eat your heart out.

If you love vintage and vintage-style hats--the Legends and Lace is for you.

Meow! Yes, the whole shop is the cat's meow.

These boots are made for walking.

Hats off!

OK, the peach hat with the feathers would be perfect...

Ah ha! Plenty of totally intriguing steampunk goodies at Legends and Lace.

Steampunk ornaments. Have yourself a merry little Steampunk...

Steampunk all the way and EVERY day...In Florence--the antiques capital of Colorado AND the unofficial steampunk capital of Colorado.
