Florence Colorado

DIAMONDS & RUST

3

florence coloradoFlorence, Colorado is a quaint southern Colorado town a short detour off Highway 50 on one’s way to the world famous Royal Gorge – an acrophobia’s worse nightmare. Antique shops line both sides of bustling Main Street. It’s no wonder the town bills itself as the Antique Capitol of Colorado.

You’ll find Diamonds & Rust at 106 W. Main – on the corner of Pikes Peak Ave. As fate would have it, the couple took over the primo location from DJ’s Fiber, a yarn shop that I just adored, too.

    I love that photo of historic Florence, Colorado. I’m guessing that was taken around 1946 maybe?

    Isn’t it great? I’m not an expert, but, judging by the cars, I think you’re right.
