You knew there had to be some antique shopping on our trip.

.

.

The husband refused to let me purchase this pair of chicken rocking chairs… even though I knew they’d be great on the barn porch. The $2,000 price tag might have had something to do with that.

.

.

This old advertisement made us cringe. Clearly 666 didn’t have the same connotation back in the day.

.

.

But look, it cured everything from headache to constipation . What’s not to love?

We hit a few stores and were about to call it quits but then, from the corner of my eye….

.

.

A beer crate! At an extremely affordable $25 price. I was thrilled and I think the store owner was so happy to sell something he gave me these two vintage wooden darts (with real feathers) for free.

.

.

Score!

Later in the day we arrived at our destination.

.

.

The Old Red Mill in Jericho.

.

.

A picturesque, well preserved piece of the past.

.

.

One half the building houses a lovely gift store filled with crafts from local artists.

..

.

And I liked the way they left the original mill works in place.

.

.

In hindsight I really should have bought this book.

.

.

Probably some decent blog fodder there.

But it was the other half of the building that I’d actually come to see.

To be continued…
