My New England Roots~ Part III ~ Newtown, CT (Sandy Hook)

Yesterday,

my sisters & I went for a drive

up to Newtown, CT...

to visit a dear Friend,

 Linda Manna

at her beautiful shop:

 

www.countrymillprimitives.com

 Linda recently moved her shop from Sugar street in Newtown, CT to

this wonderful old painted lady downtown ~

 

 

now located at 5 Glen Road, Sandy Hook CT

the minute we drove up and parked, we knew we were in for a treat ~

look at that porch!

Linda has such an eye for floral arrangement and decorating....

she is SO talented :)

 

step inside and take a deep breath ~

 

as soon as you enter, her shop hugs you like an old friend ~

making you feel warm & welcomed.

 

Linda has a knack of making you feel like you've been her friend for years though,

with a sweet smile and cheerful manner ~

 her shop is reflective of her love of New England, and her pride in her community ~

every nook and cranny holds wonderful goods and needful things!

 

 

 

antiques, primitives, folk art & handmades ~

all waiting for you...

 

Linda's talented hubby makes wooden items for the shop

such as shelves and cupboards too.

 

textiles, candles, room sprays ~

tin lighting, rugs & drieds for the season fill the shop.

 

 

Elegantly displayed items pop against the old house's architecture and paint choices...

just LOVE this look!

 

LOVE that sawbuck tale in the center of this room ~

pewter and old dry paint....perfect!!

beautiful Keeping Room

see the tin ceilings???

Country Mill will be holding their Christmas Open House

 the First Saturday after Thanksgiving...

please put this shop on your list of destinations to see while visiting Connecticut ~

I assure that you will not be dissapointed!

THANK YOU Linda ~
for always being so nice to me and for your friendship ~
much xoxoxox to you!

 

Tomorrow, I am heading up to New Milford, CT

with my sister Louisea to scour the

Elephants' Trunk Flea Market!!!

woohoo

cannot wait to see what I will come home with :))))

 

*Blessed be, my Friends*
