A Summer Visit To Country Roads Antiques



I have been absent due to a little knee surgery but before the surgery I had a chance
to do one of my favorite things on a Saturday or Sunday.  I drove down to Old
Town Orange to visit with Sue at Country Roads Antiques.


Her store always has so many fun and wonderful things to look at and it sets the
imagination in high gear.  My last visit was no exception.  I thought you might like
to see some of her current treasures(although by now I know she already has
even more new treasures to find)...










I think this would be wonderful with a butcher block top...











Interesting lights and chandeliers are everywhere...




What a wonderful birdhouse.  One of many...




























One of the fun things about Country Roads Antiques is that it's huge. You really have
to walk around several times and go through room after room because each time you
will be amazed at all the things you missed on your first walk. Just as I began to take
pictures so many people appeared and I didn't want to get in the way of their shopping
so be sure to go to her site to see more wonderful treasures. The store is also full of
some great industrial pieces right now.

Have a wonderful week.

    feet and feeling
    fine this week, Susan!
    I have to admit,
    my pulse started to
    race when I saw
    that little desk with
    the cane accents and
    sweet carving at the
    top....WOW. I love
    a huge antique mall.
    It's like a treasure
    hunt! Happy Weekend!

  17. Nice Things! It would be hard to choose between the Frenchy furniture
    and the metal #5 cart on wheels.
    It's fun to see it all through your eyes.
