New England Road Trip

Last week my husband Jeff and I took a vacation!  It was a long overdue trip and what a nice time we had!
 It started out with a stop in Brimfield, Massachusetts for the antique show! 
 Whoa.......... that place is HUGE and a bit overwhelming!! We had 2 hours the day we arrived and really did not have the desire to return the next day so we went to Old Sturbridge Village instead!  Spent 3 hours walking the village on a perfect day! So relaxing!
 We then hit the antique stores in the area. My most favorite shop was Ye Country Mercantile!
 Beautiful shop with antiques and wool!!!
I found this awesome wood mold and the hand-dyed wool there!  I'm thinking it is a butter mold.

We then drove up to Boothbay Harbor Maine for a whale watch!  This was the part of the trip I was looking forward to!  It was our first trip to Maine and we will be going back!  Loved it! What a beautiful coastal town!
We saw 3 different whales surfacing multiple times and close to the boat!  They were Minke whales which I never even heard of! The marine biologist onboard shared a wealth of information about the area too. 
 We also spent a day at Ogunquit, Maine. We walked The Marginal Way which is a mile-long walk along the rocky coast which was spectacular!  
Here was the view we had during dinner one night in Perkins Cove!!! Need I say more! 

We took a bit of a detour when starting home and went to a few antique stores in Vermont. Here is a group shot of all the goodies I brought home with me! 
 Love the cute little red rocker!
A little story about this plastic sewing box.  I found a rug hooking tool in it and that is all I wanted but they wouldn't let me buy just the hook so I put it back!  When we were done in the shop Jeff insisted I go back and get the entire sewing box so I did!  And oh my gosh! So glad I did!  Because on the very bottom of all those knitting needles I found this amazing 6" oval Duchess Hoop!!  It is in super good condition! 
This is the hook, on the left, I wanted in the sewing box. The scissors and needle case I found in a little antique shop in Vermont.

I did find one maple sugar mold which is what I was looking for!  

I could go on and on but will stop for now!  Just an amazing trip and looking forward to going back!

Saturday turned out to be a perfect Summer day in Lititz! 
Long-awaited no humidity and no rain craft show day!  
We were set up in record time so I had time to snap some pictures before the crowds started shopping! 
I want to thank everyone who stopped by!
Here are a few shots! 
My son made the wine rack!

My friend Amy makes the wool felted purses!  Something sweet to applique on!
Sifter frames for so many uses!


My mom makes the stockings!
