Chris and I drove to Leesburg, VA on Saturday for one of my favorite past times-- experiencing small town America. It's only an hour away and you get to see hills, farms, wine country and (drum roll please) antiques! What more can I ask for?We went to a farmers market (more on that in a later post) and Old Lucketts Store, which I have been dying to visit for nearly a year. Admittedly, the stuff in this store is more Bleecker (or Rue Claudel) than Olive, but one always needs inspiration!
Chris doesn't really like this stuff. He thinks all of it looks like it comes from a haunted house. To his credit I did snap one freaky picture of a dismembered doll and old picture of a clergyman. I guess getting him to like Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams was my one gift from the decorating gods this year.
We bought a silver bon bon tray and a new light switch plate for our bathroom. I also fell in love with a window pane that would look lovely repainted above our bed, but I need a few months to work on Chris to pull that off. I think another visit will be very soon. More pics on our flickr page.

The doll was a bit freaky. I do like the window for above the bed, hope it is still there when you go back.
we've got rolling hills, curvy roads, farms, farmers markets, covered bridges, vineyards, orchards over here in Ohio. you ought to visit while the weather is nice.
i want to know more about your bacon making and canning. we're doing some preserving here, by way of freezing. hopefully, i'll try canning soon, but the hazards (burning myself, botulism) prevent me from diving in just yet.
