I have so much to share with you that i'm breaking my trip up into several blog posts. Today I wanted to show you "Smitten" and the neat apple crate shelf I purchased there.
I was able to meet Shannon from Rusty and Redone, who has a booth at Smitten. Anne from fiona and twig also has a booth in the cottage. It was a wonderful shop, I could have spent a small fortune there. Here are a few photos...
My big purchase at Smitten was this old apple crate turned shelves. I had an empty spot for it in the dining room and needed a spot for my growing hoard of ironstone.
I will end with a few more shots of the beautiful "Smitten" boutique...
Stay tuned for a tour of Carol Hicks Bolton's new store "Antiquities". It was an AWESOME experience and I was fortunate to meet Carol herself.
Also coming is a post about Fredericksburg's "Herb Farm", with lots of pics too!

The "Cowgirl Up!" link party starts Monday nights at 8:30

I could've spent alot of money in that store too! I see ALOT of good stuff in your pics. You have a great pitcher collection! Your apple crate makes a unique display piece for them.

That apple cart!!! Perfection!
oh yeah! I'd be smitten too!
Your photos makes me want to book a flight down to Texas NOW!!! I was lucky enough to be in Houston about 20 years ago (DID I SAY 20?!?!?!) and LOVED it! Maybe one day :)
That shop looks so WONDERFUL!! If only I didn't live so far from Texas. Love the crate turned shelf and all your ironstone pieces styled perfectly!
Thanks for hosting each week!

I could have spent a fortune there, too. Love your shelf and your artful display of ironstone.
I feel like I've just been on a little trip to a old fashioned mainstreet and stopped in at a quaint shop.
The pitchers on the top shelf of your crate remind me of a family all gathered together for their family portrait. And ooh, would I like to get my hands on those casters. I love how they are displayed. It's all so wonderful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos with us.

Hi Linsey!
It was wonderful to meet you~even if only for a few minutes! Darn me, having to run off to get tires!
Beautiful pics of the shop. Thanks for posting them.
I was wondering who made off with the apple crate! Love how you displayed it.
Maybe next time we can visit longer!
Take care~
Oh it is all so beautiful! I just want to climb right in my computer to have a look at all the lovelies!
I am about to start painting some trays with chalkboard paint myself- as soon as I get off this computer that is!
Love the photo's, beautiful items, especially the day bed, or childs bed? with the burlap mattress, adorable!!!
Loved taking a look around! Thanks for sharing.
The vignette you've styled around your apple crate is totally delightful. You've used two of my favorite decorating elements - hydrangea and ironstone.
Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday. Hope to see you again this week.
Blessings,
Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage
