**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** SHoPPinG @ TWIN ELM FARM - Peterborough, NH

Talking to Shop Owners REALLY pays off when you're traveling!!!  Doing so led us to yet another  FaB SHaBBy-Chic+++ Antique Store in the Peterborough New Hampshire Area:  TWIN ELM FARM

Located just a few minutes away from Peterborough's Depot Square ~ "on a country road" ~ was TWIN ELM FARM ANTIQUES... When we pulled up, I was just crazed with excitement ~ a group of ladies who just shopped the store ~ WERE LOADING UP THEIR SUV!*!*!  It looked almost like a "tailgate" event...

The leaves hadn't quite turned in this area just yet...

 I netted that AwEsoMe Scroll Iron Piece

 hanging from the beams...

My BeSt Find/Keeper of the Trip...  

You'd never know that this was a more recently opened business ~ WELL STOCKED ~ Inviting Displays...  The owner was so helpful/friendly!!!  Definitely put this on your ShoPPing List...  

You can visit TWIN ELM FARM on FaceBook... 

**White Home Collections** ~ Wilton, New Hampshire ~ BeSt SHaBBies!*!*!

FaB Mix ~ Naturally distressed/time-worn shabbies, painted shabbies, architectural, buy-sell adornments, & a hint of industrial...

 If I had to pick just ONE FaVoRiTe

 SHaBBy ShoPPing Stop on our entire trip

WHITE HOME COLLECTIONS

would be it!*!*!

A good number of the SHaBBies I purchased were - displayed outside in this area... 

 OMG!*!*!  What was I thinking???

Passed up this FaB SHaBBy...  Major regrets...  AND Frog Husband encouraged me to get it...

You can find

 WHITE HOME COLLECTIONS on Facebook
Wish I was lucky enough to live nearby!*!*!

**Bad... Bad... S*Q*U*I*R*R*E*L*S... ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Mess...

It didn't take these squirrels very long to find my  RoadSide Vignette Pumpkins...

OMG!*!*! ~ What is with them???????

It was DEFINITELY a SQUIRREL - I saw his entire body inside the big one - as I drove in the driveway today...  

HeLLLLLLLLLLP!*!*!

ChiPPy WHITE WEDNESDAY ~ Crusty... Rusty... VINTAGE MOTEL CHAIR

It's once again WHITE WEDNESDAY - Hosted by Kathleen of FADED CHARM... Check out my Rusty... Crusty SHaBBy ~ then hop on over to Kathleen's Blog to view all the other inspiring entries!*!*!

Talk about "faded charm"...  There's more rusty... crusty... showing than there is hints of old time-worn white paint left...

Wonderfully ChiPPy!!!

LoVe the fanned out form...

Driveway entrance to our home...  NOT SURE how long this set of pumpkins is going to last - Check out my next pic to SEE WHY!*!*!

 THIS is what's happening

 ALL-OVER-OUR-YARD THIS YEAR!*!*!

Each year I mound up pumpkins in my birdbath, line our winding driveway wall with pumpkins, & set out quite a few surrounding my planters - NOW - ALMOST ALL MY PUMPKINS ARE TOTALLY CHEWED UP BY THE SQUIRRELS... and they're not eating the seeds!?!?!

TIME TO GET OUT THE TRAP!*!*!
