Fabulous finds at The Stock Exchange

As promised, I am sharing my finds from The Stock Exchange, a consignment shop in Manchester, Massachusetts.



Earlier this year I bought some vintage or vintage looking suitcases and I've been on the hunt for a luggage rack as a base for them. I planned to stack the suitcases and possibly use them for a bedside nightstand. At The Stock Exchange, I found exactly what I was looking for. Here's the aerial view of my fabulous luggage rack.




Here's the side view. Don't you love it? I am going to think I am always on vacation!



And here it is with the suitcases on top. I just threw the flowers in there for some color. I think it will be quite the conversation piece when it's transformed into a nightstand.



I couldn't resist this little mirror.



I hit the jackpot with these linens. The napkins on top were a separate purchase but the rest was sold as a lot.



I put one of the linens under this frame for a bit of contrast. And yes that photo was purchased from Sara @ Sadie Olive.




More of the linens. Each one was prettier than the next.



Even the box was a great find. I just love the pastel colors.

I can't wait to go back there. There was so much to look at I'm sure I missed something!

Daytripper Yeah!

I had a vacation day last week so I decided to take a daytrip to Manchester and Beverly.

Once I arrived I was greeted by a pretty little town with charming shops and restaurants. These flowers were outside Calais Restaurant.



A friend told me about this store, The Stock Exchange. They sell vintage and consignment items. What did I find there? That's a separate post, but, here's a hint, it was real good!



Here's one of their window displays.



The nice man who was painting this building said I could take photos. This building is known as Seaside No. 1. It was built in 1885 to house a steam pump.




Here's one of the steam pumps.




And another one.



Since 1970, this building has been under the care of the Manchester Historical Society.



I visited the Nantucket Chocolatier and picked up some jimmies made from chocolate shavings. These chocolate scallops looked good too!




This windowbox was too cute! I just had to snap a photo.




Next stop, Beverly. I visited Sweetwater and Company. There was so much to see. I think I spent over an hour there. Lots of great stuff.



Some Sailor Valentines. I thought these were only sold on Nantucket Island!



Lots of starfish, scallop shells, and a pretty garland.



More goodies to look through. Love the shiny silver.




More beachy themed gifts. You know I walked away with some of those mini candles with scents like White Sand and Sea Breeze.

I also picked up some Mermaid cupcake toppers and liners. Guess I'll be bringing cupcakes to the next cookout.

As for my fabulous finds from the Stock Exchange, you'll just have to wait til my
next post!
