Country Shopping
There is a stretch of road between
Morristown and Bernardsville, New Jersey
known as “The Country Mile”.
Last week I spent a couple hours shopping there.
Paradise, the Lilly Pulitzer signature store was having a sale.
I tried on a pile of pieces but only ended up buying a new iphone cover.
The Depot Gift Shop down the street had some beautiful treasures.
I made a few mental notes for future birthday and Christmas gifts.
They carry a huge selection of MacKenzie Childs ceramics.
I love those black and white checks.
The Dash and Albert rugs reminded me
I have to get moving on my office!
I am loving the Trimarin Stripe – navy and ivory
but it comes in 6 X 9
and I was planning on buying a 5 X 8 for under my desk.
Maybe I need to remeasure!
I love how the stores in this area
are situated right alongside beautiful farmland.
Would you ever expect a store like this
to be adjacent to that lovely pasture?
This has got to be the cutest building
for a J. Mclaughlin store!
J. Mclaughlin had some beautiful dresses
and if I had more time, I probably would have talked myself into
purchasing one of the maxi dresses I fell in love with.
I should have shopped with a friend
so the peer pressure would have made me buy it! LOL!
I guess I was in more of a browsing than buying mood that day!
And I didn’t even have time to stop at
Greenbaum Interiors down the street
or Garden Cottage….
I am sure I would spend hours in those stores!
Do you have any unique shopping areas near you?

Looks like a lovely place to shop! What a beautiful setting!
Oh how I love those shops! Too many people think that NJ is just ugly malls and the Turnpike but it is filled with some much charm!!!
This sounds like a wonderful place to shop! I would love to have an area like this near me. But – then again it's probably a good thing that I don't. lol
What a great way to spend a few hours. You're so lucky to have wonderful shopping close by.
