Volant part one

I took quite a few pictures while my friend Debbie and I were at Volant yesterday so I'm going to break this down in to more than one post. I don't know exactly how long I'll stretch this out but since I don't have very many ideas at the moment I plan of  milking it for all it's worth.
So here was our first stop. I can't remember the name of it but shall we go inside?

This place was just loaded with wonderful treasures. They had a lot of Amish made furniture and I fell in love with so much of it. I saw a living room set up that I wanted to take home with me. But alas, the budget wouldn't allow for that. I wish I would have taken a picture of it. I didn't start snapping until we moved upstairs.



I thought that some of these might make good pictures for Christmas cards and may end up using them for that.
Tomorrow we'll take a look down Main Street.

  10. Ewwww! gorgeous place, you must have been in shopper withdrawal. I hope you got some great stuff. That's the kind of place you want to say, "one of everything please".

  15. What a great place! I gotta say, though, that those ginormous jingle bells look like the stuff hernias are made of - Oy. ;o)

  17. Oooh...I love shopping at places like this (we have them in the big city) I would show you but I'm too chicken taking pics inside a shop because usually there is a sales clerk hovering nearby ;-)
    The 2nd tree is gorgeous!

  18. That place is nothing more than a crack house for those who love such things! (Of course, if the little lady comes home and showers some joy on her husband and little white puppy afterward, allowances could be made.)

  21. Beautiful. These photos remind me that I can turn this cabin-like old house and use its features into something like what I see here.

    Hope you had lots of fun!

  24. These are so pretty! They make me think of old time comfort. I just want to snuggle up to a fire with a cup of tea now!

  25. Wow, that store would be dangerous for me. Walter tries to keep me out of Christmas and decoration stores.

    This looks wonderful and I would love to go. I too think they would make some great Christmas cards!

    Hope you have another terrific day!!:-)

    LDH I just wanted to move right in to that building. I loved it

    Sandee you would have liked it, it was fantastic

    Beaded tail oh that would have been so much fun :)

    sharkbytes mine hates stuff like this so that's why he stayed home :)

    Julie me too, I kept thinking what a great place for big old family gathering

    the old geezer you are very welcome

    livintheblues and I know how much fun it can be to bah humbug too. I've done lots of it the last couple of years

    tahtimbo they have a kitchen store there that I'm sure you would love even better

    Miawa it was fabulous and believe it or not I didn't buy all that much

    Kirsten a very great place even got a couple ideas for things to make

    Grace Main street straight ahead :)

    Lin, you betcha

    Philippa I knew you would think so and the quilled holly is a great idea

    Josep hopefully I'll get around to doing them

    Jen LOL you crack me up. I didn't even think of that but then I know that the ginormous jingle bells weren't all that heavy

    Russ thanks and I wouldn't blame her but I bet she would want to check out all the other stuff too

    Duni I usually am to chicken to pull out the camera but when we got up there no one was around so I went for it

    Fishhawk a crack house huh? Well then that's my kind of crack. Seeing as how I was spending my own money a certain husband had no room to complain

    Reeni old time comfort is the perfect description. Kind of the way I wish life was sometimes

    Shinade I had a budget otherwise I probably would have gone crazy. I took a certain amount out of the bank for the trip and that was all I was allowing myself to spend

    B boys mom It is a very fun spot. I just love going there
