GO: Woodstock, Vermont

On my travel 'wish-list' is Woodstock, Vermont and the fabulous Woodstock Inn. I've been told that summer is a fabulous time to visit, but I'd like to go during the snowy winter months to ski, snowshoe, and sit by a cozy fire. There's a great collection of antique shops in and around Woodstock, I've suggested a few below.

SHOP:
-Wilgren & Barlow Antiques: 29 Pleasant Street, Woodstock, 802.457.2453 Open Tuesday-Friday noon-5pm, Saturday 10a-5pm

-Ellaways Attic: 14 Central Street, Woodstock, 802.457.1066  Open daily 10a-5pm

-For more antique shops in Vermont, check the Vermont Antiques Dealers Website.


STAY: The Woodstock Inn

-Not to most economical choice, but certainly the most fabulous. If you don't want to break the bank, there are a host of bed-and-breakfast options in Woodstock to choose from (most fashioned with gorgeous antiques!). Check the Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce website for suggestions.

Vintage Bicycles

This weekend, I'm riding a charity bike ride in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The 'cycle I'm riding tomorrow isn't vintage, but I have two bikes in my garage circa 1970 that I rescued from my in-laws before they were sent to Goodwill. I love those bikes, one green with a wicker basket and the other blue with a brown leather seat. They remind me of summer: trips to the beach, fresh blueberries, flip-flops, sunglasses, canvas tote bags, and my antique bike. I hope you enjoy these photos. Keep your eye out for a 'lil piece of summer to buy for yourself. Have a great weekend!

This bike should be rode by someone in flip flops headed to the beach!

Neat red paint
