Going up the country
So, Wistaria Vintage is closed this week as I’ve gone up the country for some much needed R&R. I love upstate NY and always find something new and amazing every time I come up here. This trip I discovered the most amazing antique shop I’ve ever been to. It was like a dream, so inspiring, thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I saw the place from the road mostly due to the amazing gardens and sculptures outside, but then I went inside not really expecting much… but OMG……the furniture was amazing. I especially liked all of the vintage mannequins…well pics speak for themselves…

I will definitely be back I couldn’t take it all in the first trip. I also could not capture in photos just how wonderful this place is. I could live here… it had just the right amount of creepy…. In love
Vacation
Wistaria Vintage will be closed for Vacation until August 26th happy summer!
Jazz in the garden
Just a block and a half away from Wistaria Vintage is the Johnson house; ”Philadelphia’s only accessible and intact stop on the Underground Railroad.” I attended the annual jazz in the garden event and it was great fun! This is a charity event for the Johnson House. If you are in the neighborhood you should stop by this historic site, it is fascinating. The house is also a great example of a pre-Revolutionary War Quaker home. Jazz in the garden had great music and food. Tours of the site were also available. Here are some pics.
Wyck food festival
On June 24th there was a wonderful food festival at the Wyck house on germantown avenue, not far from Wistaria Vintage. Great food and music! Here are some pics
