snow creek

We took a ride to Snow Creek Farm for their Fall sale in Woodford Va..   Many vintage items and neat crafts. 
I love visiting this wonderful farmhouse with chickens and beautiful Peacocks.  
She has a table set up outside with refreshments. 

greetings

love this skeleton chick

into the yard

 

 

I purchased the wood pumpkin on the right with the pacifier

If he looks a little sheepish,  it's because he just got himself kicked out of the hen house by another rooster,  it was so funny to watch.

till next time

Onancock Virginia

In 1608 - John Smith discovered this site now called Onancock , Virginia on the eastern shore of Virginia.
Very nice little town.  A place to launch a boat easily,  nice places to eat and beautiful Victorian homes.

old barn we passed on our way to Onancock

once in the town,  we saw many beautiful old Victorian homes and old farm houses

A simple  large homemade wreath on the front of this house -  I like that a lot

Fancy scroll work or gingerbread trim,  I guess that is what it is called anyway

next stop is lunch a few minutes down the road here in town

All we needed to see is the lit lunch sign in the window

a side view

I like the color red on the frames of  mirrors along the wall with the checked table cloths. 
The reflections in the mirrors,   one that will never tire of because it's ever changing.

old fashioned cabinet like my grandmother used to have with the flour mill on the left that flour is sifted from into a bowl

Steve's  roast beef and hearty

Every thing is prepared here , so good .

 

my favorite sandwich was corned beef on rye,  sauerkraut, thousand island dressing
delicious!!!

Out to walk off  lunch

more old homes

The waterfront and boat launch
Yes,  another place I would love to live
Peaceful and pleasant

across the street from the wharf is this place

entrance -  we got info about the area here and also a great dinner place.

stepping inside

a long staircase

 

 

memorabilia on the counter inside

thread drawers from the olden days

back to the middle of town is some shops

theatre in use.  built in 1950, above the door it says "Best people on earth walk through these doors - our customers".
The other door says "If when you pass, you cannot stop .  Smile as you go by".

church in town
Onancock is designated "historic" by the state.
The bayside village founded in 1680 as Fort Scarburgh.

Gnomeville

Caught them playing when we drove up.  Love these whimisical creatures.  SIL Wanda has these lil guys in the arch of the walkway to front steps of home.  

A nice pause on the way in .

Gnome Home

Can't see it to well ,  but there is water running into the bucket of this little fountain
