Thank you for your very nice words about our shop and for shopping here. It is funny that you mentioned our little shopping carts. It was one of the things I always needed when I would shop in antique stores and decided that we needed some at the Mill when we opened in 2003. Perfect for those shopping trips with children and for keeping your hands free from carrying your treasures around our big store. We also have a pet cart for our customers who bring in their dogs to shop!<br /><br />Your blog was fun to read and it sounds like you have fun "junking" with the whole family. We hope you will visit us again. <br /><br />Again, thank you for your kind remarks.

Hope you went to some of the shops in the mountains around and by the aquarium. I love how they took the old houses and have made shops out of them. My sister said it use to be really rough, but they have cleaned it up a lot and people are moving in all the time. I also love Bell Buckle and the north side of Chattanooga. The down town area around the aquarium has some of the neatest shops and art shops. Making me home sick already. Thanks for sharing your trip and ideas.<br />Betty WhatleyBetty Whatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340637744321699480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043728711737537928.post-89236799947427390292010-05-29T19:43:49.721-05:002010-05-29T19:43:49.721-05:00I can assure you that after several hours of pushi...I can assure you that after several hours of pushing one of those quaint old fashioned mowers around, you will be wondering what the h&!! you were thinking!!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978318704606069961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043728711737537928.post-37882588031512396792010-04-27T17:06:31.011-05:002010-04-27T17:06:31.011-05:00Looks like a FUN trip ... a shopping cart? wonderf...Looks like a FUN trip ... a shopping cart? wonderful ... now those people are thinking!!<br /><br />I'm around catching up ...

They have an amazing park that Baby would love and there is a great two-level bookshop with coffee bar. It's all very authentic, and if you're within driving distance of Chattanooga, you're near Tuscumbia! Also, we found a very fun little place in Grand Rivers, KY called The Fudge Factory. It's amazingly quaint and used to be a pharmacy!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038768339285014029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043728711737537928.post-53053399441310629212010-04-22T08:52:13.328-05:002010-04-22T08:52:13.328-05:00You have been having so much fun junking lately!!!...You have been having so much fun junking lately!!!! what a great great time you had,<br />xo,<br />LuLuLulu and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10595220563562668975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043728711737537928.post-46082826949925044452010-04-21T21:57:39.376-05:002010-04-21T21:57:39.376-05:00I am going to have to go to Bell Buckle.

We loved it there and, the Aquarium is the best that I've ever been in. We were really impressed..... and, what wonderful antique shops. Some wonderful things to buy. When we were there, we did all of the touristy things and didn't have time for the antique shops. <br />I'm sure that baby Hughes got a lot out of it, and you can take him again when he is older.

Never have much luck. <br /><br />We do have a few places in Tullahoma that are pretty good. Stop through here next time.<br /><br />Bell Buckle is such a neat place. Did you eat there?
