A Visit To A Vintage/Antique Shop in Nova Scotia

During our visit in Nova Scotia...my nephew's wife & I spent a full day enjoying our favourite past time!  Shopping....

We dropped into her favourite antique shop.....a number of pieces in their home have been purchased at this wonderful store....and my nephew gifts his wife pieces she just happens to "mention" she wants......

These beautiful pieces were the first thing to catch my eye...

Is this not a beautiful bed....gorgeous pieces & bedding all available for purchase....

I'm crushing on this reindeer piece....if only I had a spot to hang it....

There was amazing antique furniture available....such as this cabinet...*swoon*........

And just look at all this Christmas goodness!!  So many items to choose from.......

I am wanting a butter dish like this....(not that we even use butter).... but luv this ceramic one....

I didn't purchase anything....but I cannot say the same for my shopping partner!  She picked up a number of pieces....she is such a wonderful gal to shop with!  There were a couple of Gripstand bowls....however they were unmarked on the bottom....so not authentic Gripstand.....I had hoped to finish my collection....needing just one more bowl!!

We decided to head to Dartmouth Crossing....a little further down the road...but a shopping spot I have longed wanted to visit!  So many stores...and it was a tax free weekend in all of them!  We quickly parked...and made our way to Weatton's home decor store!

Due to the vast number of shoppers inside....I was unable to take any photos....I did make my way to this area a the back of the store!  Candles and tarts in abundance!!!

I took full advantage of the tax free event....and stocked up on Maple Syrup and Fresh Baked Bread tarts...(you'd think I've been baking bread all day...)....they smell amazing....

We stopped by another shop as we walked about....these Gurgle pots definitely caught my eye....in a variety of sizes and colours....

We visited a couple more stores but it was getting late in the afternoon...and we hadn't stopped for lunch...we were both famished!!  I cannot wait to explore the stores in Dartmouth Crossing in the future!!

In other news....Mr. Seventies sister sent this gorgeous Christmas arrangement....is it not amazing?  And the sleigh is a keeper for many years to come....

Our "petite" Christmas is up & decorated.....as much as it's going to be for this year!  It's been so much easier (and less messier) than putting up our previous flocked tree.....I'll share a few pics next time....

In the meantime....we're looking at refreshing the remaining bedrooms...(one of which has a lovely stucco ceiling for Mr. Seventies to remove....ugh!)....will get a start on those rooms in January....

I've ordered new bedding..... I found a set of lamps online....(fingers crossed they will work fine)....and have started the dreaded search for paint colours!!  It usually takes me a few attempts around the hardware stores before I find colours I like....

And....you know it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, right?  It seems I've had a change of heart about air fryers!  I've never seen anything cooked in one....except French fries...(and I don't care for or eat French fries)....but after having a few delicious meals cooked in daughter's air fryer.....I think Mr. Seventies & I could have great use for one!

I'm certain with the small meals we prepare....an air fryer just might come in handy!  In all fairness to Mr. Seventies.....he had purchased me one a few months ago.... I asked it be returned.   I wasn't on the "air fryer bandwagon" at that time.

I've had second thoughts.....perhaps for my birthday in the spring....unless I decide to get one sooner.  How about you?  Do you use one?  Do you like it?  What do you prepare in yours?  This the one Mr. Seventies returned....daughter & hubby use this one as well...
