Shopping Local

I’m not a black Friday shopper, and I don’t know if I really like the idea of cyber week. I do really enjoy small business Saturday. I like to go out to a few local favorite shops, find some great items, and catch up with the owners too. This year James had to work open to close on small business Saturday, so I went out the night before Thanksgiving.

I went to two of my favorite shops, and I found myself a few goodies.

First I visited Trader Dave’s Antiques and More. I love this store, it is full of antiques and unique items. I always find something when I visit here.

This time around I found this cute Pyrex casserole dish hiding on a shelf. I have been watching a beautiful blue patchwork quilt too. It is on my Christmas wish list.

After Trader Dave’s, I headed over a few blocks to visit The Treasure Hunt Flea Market.

The Treasure Hunt has quickly become my favorite shop to visit. It is such a fun place, and there are antiques galore. The Treasure Hunt also has a large furniture room that has beautiful antiques, and amazing quilts too. I love it!

This time around I picked up a cute Pyrex butter dish. It matches a casserole dish in my collection.

I also found a little Pyrex bowl, and a green Pyrex casserole dish too. I used them both on Thanksgiving. My vintage collection is growing one piece at a time, and I’m happily shopping locally too.

So what about you… Do you have a favorite local shop that is unique to your town?
