Vintage Shopping and Home Decor - Part One

Here we go ladies and gentlemen.  Buckle your seat belts because we are going on a 3 post journey to some of southern NH's prettiest vintage and home accessory shops.  First we will visit the newest shop of the 3 on our journey, Twin Elm Farm located in Peterborough, N.H. 

When we arrived we were greeted by the adorable Michelle who was so friendly and more than happy to talk with us.  Soon she was joined by her mother Louise, owner of the shop.

Twin Elm has been open since last August and let me tell you, each time there are more and more goodies.
Come on, we got some shoppin' to do!


Gorgeous old farm house with wrap around porch in beautiful Peterborough, NH
Easily accessible from the main road and lots of parking available

I've seen these bottle racks all over blogland but I have never seen one used as a light ornament. 
Love it!






I know we're supposed to be looking at the plethora of silver but I can't take my eyes off of that lampshade!

The color of this chandy is perfect with all the lilies.





This lamp set is so feminine!  Delightful.

This pic makes me dizzy, but I just love this chandy.






This is so clever.  It's just a bunch of twigs glued together and spray painted.   Just place it around a pot or vase and you have instant nature indoors.

















I think every vintage shop needs an old typewriter!







I will own an alabaster lamp soon.  I just love them.








Looks like my little chubba Albert.  Same attitude.
















Can't go wrong with concrete urns (or concrete anything!)

One can never have too many fleur di lis.






Hope you enjoyed your tour.  If you are ever in this neck of the woods you must stop in.

Thank you Louise and Michelle.

  2. Hey Lisa - Great shop! I don't have facebook....do they have a website? I love the Staffordshire dog and mercury glasses. I'll be visiting next time I'm up that way. Loi

  3. Hey Lisa, I want the clock, the console table, the letter 'S', the bottle holder thingy, the fleur de Lis, the typewriter, the mini greenhoue and the jardiniere! Sigh! I wish that place was near me! Lovely post!
