Punch-Junk Love

We have an unfortunate condition that makes us slip into a drunk-like state in certain antique stores. Intoxicated with over-stimulation, we’re lightheaded, disoriented and have trouble telling the difference between trash and treasure.

We have an unfortunate condition that makes us slip into a drunk-like state in certain antique stores.
