Last week I went to visit my best friend Suzanne, she lives outside of Richmond, VA. We both love the thrill of the hunt of Antique shops, so that was the theme of this trip. After she picked me up from the airport we went to Cary Street, this area is close to the college so there are some great boutiques and specialty shops. The shops that we particularly like are Anthill Antiques, Bangles and Beads, and if your into vintage clothing there is a great shop called Bygones Vintage Clothing. And for lunch we eat at the CanCan Brasserie, I can’t stop thinking of the yummy Croque Monsieur sandwich I had. Will have to learn how to make.
Day 2: Historic town of Fredericksburg - we found some great treasures at places like R&R Antiques, Upstairs Downstairs, Fredericksburg Antique Mall. If you ever find yourself in Fredericksburg at lunch time try Eileen’s Bakery and Cafe great gourmet sandwiches, its in an old church. Very cute!
Day 3: We found our way to the West end of Richmond, finding even more great finds at places like Heritage Antique Mall, Cold Harbor Antique Mall, and Antique Village.
But I have to say my friend saved the best for last on the fourth day we went to Doswell and experienced a place like no other - Squashapenny Junction. A must see! Susan the owner has stuff for everyone and everywhere. OMG! it was sensory overload.
Sadly I had to go home, but as usual when Suzanne and I get together we have a great time, and with all the great stuff we found I had to ship a box home. I have to give Mike her husband a gold star for putting up with our stuff.
