A Fun Day Out

Every few weeks we feel restless. We make a quick decision
and of we go.

It was a very hot day and our ride brought us to the
Coxsackie Antique Center
in.... West Coxsackie, N.Y.
http://www.coxsackie.com/



The center is large and air conditioned.

We have been there many times
and it is always a treat.




The isles are wide and comfortable.




I will show you things I loved but did not get.

For all you lovers of all things French, this
was absolutely beautiful!

Unfortunately my pocketbook does not match
my "wants".........sigh.




Love this old egg basket.





This is a small chest sitting on top of a big counter.

The wood is really pretty.




This booth had many things we liked.

Love the big round baskets.




Same booth...... ah, there are the baskets again.

This little chair was very appealing.

Just right for my grandchildren.

This kitchen hutch was neat.

I love the gumball machine.
It is my favorite color....RED.

And now, the item I most wanted.....

This is a pigeon basket from the First World War.

I am still suffering "withdrawel" symptoms.

Love, love, loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ebbie and I enjoyed all the beekers.

Would not have minded owning some of them.

This chest of drawers was also quite small.

I am drawn to small cabinets and chests.

The bottle on top was interesting, unfortunately

I missed some of it.

Hubby and I both thought this would look

nice in our garden, alas.......

We bought a few things which I will show at the end.

After spending a few happy hours at the Antique Mall

we went to the charming small town of

SAUGERTIES, N.Y.

This mural is gorgeous!

It shows so well how beautiful our area is.

The architecture is wonderful.

We loved all the details on this building.

Besides this being a pretty building, it also held

a cute country store.

This is such a charming street with many quaint stores.

We only had time to stop at this antique store.

I know that we will come back.

Again a small chest that did not come home with me.

It was lovely. The paint color was especially nice.

If this trunk could talk, I wonder what

stories it could tell.

The hats were ready to be packed.

I have the ferns for this lovely stand.

It also had to remain.

That brings me to what I actually brought home!

A little bit of this and that.

They were not the big ticket items, but I am content.

I love sewing things and can envision that some of

these items will grace my dolls and make-do's.

This was one of my favorite things.

It must have been trim for furniture.

They are brass and bend easely.

.

I think they would make neat crowns for

some of my dolls!

This little dress is cute with all these

embroidered ruffles.

It was stained but I have since washed it,

and it came out beautiful.

This last item is interesting and wonderful.

I was told it came from a Masonic Temple.

Don't know much about it, but I loved all

the antiqued gold embroidery and the gold

boullion fringe.

The fabric is gently worn velvet.

I might decorate my dressform with it

at Christmas.

I enjoyed sharing our trip and I hope

you enjoyed it too.

God Bless,

Evi
