neat lil shop to gather

My sister and I after picking blueberries, stopped at this little shop off the beaten path in Midlothian Virginia.   Lots of vintage items.  Love the soaps that are made in France along with other handmade and vintage
goodies.

Pretty French blue shutters ,  that's what the color looks to me anyway.

This is something I would like to have

I love this

Lots of neat stuff to be had like this made of wine corks

very nice urns with cement mushrooms.  

I like the cotton ball wreath on the door mixed with other dried grasses etc.

Nice natural arrangement on wall above steps to upstairs.

 

Pretty Polka dots
I didn't take lot of the inside, I enjoyed the garden to much.

I like this candelabra in the tree,  although would put it a little farther from the leaves and limbs.

Immanual Episcopal Church - The Diocese of Virginia

Gothic Revival architecture constructed in 1853 , thanks to the efforts of George Washington Bassett, grandnephew of Martha Custis Washington.
Origins in the old church area date back to early 18th century,  at that time a frame structure was shared with other congregations in the area.   (link at bottom of post where I found some info.)

Located in Historic Old Church a few minutes from Mechanicsville Va.

 

  During the two decades prior to the civil war - representing the revitalization of the Episcopal church in Virginia  and the United States.

Served as a field hospital and army headquarters during the Civil War.

Rector of the Church from 1881 to 1904 was Sewell Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn's grandfather.
