Look What We Stumbled Upon! (And a Sneak Peek at My Latest Finds)

Yesterday we made a very last minute decision to take a "one tank trip" to see my Father. He is heading back to New England where he lives and it is not easy for me to get away to visit him up there, so we all got in the car and headed to Southern New Jersey for the day.

Southern New Jersey, which is hardly ever mentioned, unless someone is talking about Cape May, Atlantic City, or other shore points, holds a few little gems.

We found a charming little village along the Maurice River...

It was once inhabited by sea captains and their families in the 1800's.

Lots of picturesque Victorian homes with plenty of gingerbread trim.


Look at this purple beauty against the vivid blue sky. It was a really pretty
spring day ... and we were enjoying the sun.

And when we turned a corner, we bumped into this sweet little shop:

This is where we met the shop's owner. 

She was so kind and offered great buys.

Obviously by the name of her shop, the building used to be a stable

for horses... wouldn't it be great to see just a glimpse of how

this little area looked back in the day?'

 

And I found some treasures in her inventory...

 

Below is a sneak peek shot at what I will

be listing this week.

 

I found the chocolate pot, the mother and child figurine,
the pink pin cushion doll, and the Noritake mayo

there during our quick visit.

 

 

My favorite is the pink pin cushion.

But the figurine and the chocolate pot are close seconds!

The little angel is for an August birthday which

is my month... too adorable!

And who can resist those Josef Originals like the little

blue sweetie on the right?

 

There is much, much more in store,

won't you come back for a visit?

 

 

I'll be listing my new finds later on this week...

 

Enjoy your day and happy Monday!
