While we were recently in Maine we went to a huge antique barn we used to frequent when we lived up there.  Located just outside Ellsworth Maine on Route 1, it is called the Chicken Barn because it was once a huge Chicken Barn.  We did buy a few little things but mostly we just looked.  Here are a few of the things we saw.  Since I sell linens in my shop I am always interested in seeing what others have to sell and how much they are asking.

 Dish Towels and or Hand Towels

 Hankies and more hankies.

Pillowcases

I also saw a few other things of interest to me..................

 A cute child's rocker and a watering can.

A nice old dress.

And since this is Maine, some nice outdoor stuff.

I hoped you enjoyed your quick trip through the Chicken Barn.

A Visit to a Group Antique Shop

Today while we were in Tunkhannock  a quaint little town in the northern tier of Pennsylvania, we stopped in at a group antique shop we had just learned about. It is called the Bridge Street Market Place.  The building was huge and set up beautifully.  Several areas were done up as rooms, displaying the items they had for sale.  I went around taking pictures of some of the things I enjoyed most.  I didn't buy much but had a great time.

Upon entering the store  this great little white dinette set caught my eye.  Wouldn't be great in a small kitchen?

Nearby I found this amazing mirrored room divider.  Too bad it wasn't for sale because it was stunning.

 

 

Turquoise and coral compliment each other so well, don't they?

I was quite taken with this bedroom .  Everything goes so well together and makes the room quite inviting.  All the old, mismatched furniture painted white makes it such a cheerful space.

 

And here is a scene that would look great on a porch.  The chairs, shabby chic for sure, were just begging to have someone sit in them for some relaxation.

  The lady who owns the shop has a great eye for what goes well together and makes the room settings so inspiring.  I started taking pictures to remind myself and then realized I should share them on this blog.
Hope you enjoyed them.  Would love to see your comments.

Hi Ho, its off to work Gerome goes.

Gerome decided he wanted to work in my Antique Shop. He started by welcoming guests at the Open sign by the front door. The he came inside and helped me at the desk. He seemed pretty pleased with himself in this venture.

Gerome didn't sell a whole lot but got a lot of laughs and curious questions. I bet when the folks come back they will want to know where he is then.
