Wow, can you believe that it’s time to get going on the holiday shopping already? I plan to pick up some gifts while in Europe this week, but if I get too distracted with sightseeing I’ll be able to find interesting things near home at Bernat Mill Antiques. In this converted mill shopping location there are rows and rows of stalls full of all sorts of things. Each stall reflects the dealer’s personality with plentiful selections. Besides shopping for gifts, I often stop by this store to pick up things for myself. I love “recycling” antiques and scraps for use in my artwork. And an added bonus to shopping green is that it also happens to save some green (in my wallet.) Here’s a quick look at what’s inside my go-to, go-green store:
Stuff for the kitchen
cozy stuff
primitive stuff
shabby decor
gobs of glamour
and even handmade bags!
Happy shopping everyone…and Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice! I love how it is set up…I want to shop! It makes you think, what would be in your section/booth, if you had one?! I love it all…….
Enjoy your time in Europe, i am sure it will stimulate your imagination!
My day includes teen girls, either screaming or swooning…Yes, i am going to the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It will be stimulating…but not Europe!
Enjoy your holiday in such lush surroundings…again, I’m jealous!

Looks like a great place for rummaging! Those are the kind of antique places I like – not the prim and proper ones with the high price tags, ha ha. I want to find some treasure no one else wanted stuffed down underneath a ton of other things and then I gasp in glee when I look at the price tag and wonder if they made a mistake!
Have a great time in Europe! What countries are you going to? Take an extra suitcase to fill up with goodies.
Blessings,
Lisa

Thanks for the well wishes for our trip/Thanksgiving. Having a fab time with the fam. Going to Lausanne tomorrow, and then Lyon the next day. Haven’t shopped much yet, since too busy looking around and taking pics (naps too!)

Hi Becky! I’m totally crushing on that blue secretary in one of those pictures. I wish I could bring it home!
I don’t know if I have time for another swap before Christmas as I’ve already got some commitments. What were you thinking? If not maybe we could do something after the 1st of the year.
