Staying for a week in Williamsburg allows us to explore beyond the Colonial area. Williamsburg offers great shopping outlets. I have friends and family that just take a trip there to do their Christmas shopping. There is also the large Yankee Candle Store. We always enjoy visiting this spot to stock up on our candles. It is another one of Yankee Candle's Flagship stores. Their candles have become so expensive that I only buy them now when I have one of their buy two, get two free coupons. There are many other things in their store that are fun to enjoy. We bought one new mail wrap for our mailbox. If you are not familiar, they attach to your mailbox with a magnet to allow a change of season look.
We also bought a new bird bath to replace the one the tree surgeons broke last year. It's glass, so I hope I haven't made a mistake. Storing it inside for winter will be imperative.
My very favorite place to visit is the Antique Mall! I have shown you photos from here in the past. Sometimes it's just a walk down memory lane and sometimes I find something that just has to come home with me. Grayden knew that so he gifted me these goodies on Valentine's.
Walking around the Antique Mall we encountered many beautiful items. I'm sure you will see something you would love to have!
I had never seen Matthew Rice's Williamsburg dinnerware before. He is married to Emma Bridgewater. I'm sure you are familiar with the beautiful pottery they make in England. We have been to their pottery in Stoke-On-Trent and I am quite smitten with her mugs. There is no more room on my shelf to buy anymore!
There are rows and rows of different antiques.
There are so many beautiful coverlets and quilts today!
These antique Valentines were exquisite.
This spool cabinet made my heart sigh. Such a wonderful cabinet to keep all of your threads.
Pewter and tole painted trays were abundant and lovely.
Let's have some tea and cake. We can wash and dry our cups and saucers with these adorable tea towels. By the way the cake is no calorie--I have no idea what it's made of!
A fine collection of Madame Alexander dolls were displayed in one booth.
Are you ready to check out your purchases? I think it's time to leave. I hope you enjoyed! ♥
