road trip ! ! !

we took a road trip to VOLANT PA, which they say is

"halfway between Erie and Pittsburgh"

it is a very cool little town near grove city outlets

that has about 30 little shops & restaurants,

a great road trip for this time of year.

of course, we antiqued on the way up and back...

this post is mostly photo heavy as the pics speak for themselves and i am

very busy filling orders from the site.

we found a wonderful antique shop called schoolhouse something or other,

where we could have spent the day !!

definately plan to return in the summer

with a truck !

biggest butcher block i have ever seen !

huge !!! this would never fit in my litte ranch !

i'm always a sucker for suitcases

i loved this !

very small butcher block,

must have been for tabletop??

i love metal display racks

and anything in pastel colors

too cool old sewing machine,

i have never seen one like this

books galore

i wish i had a place for this

it would have come home with me.

wonderful old set of encyclopedias

i have a soft spot for flower frogs

everyone knows how i feel about old keys !!

this was tempting

never saw one quite like this either

just tiny and flat

these were teansy

this pic isnt great but it is a basinet hammock

with an umbrella top...way cool

this i would have bought if i had my truck with me

i LOVE ladders and

anything with casters !

volant is full of little gift shops

i love this style of tree

thinking of buying a real one

and cutting off all the lower branches
