Back home from PA....(updated Friday evening...)

Well....we made it home safe and sound....back from PA! When we couldn't fit another thing in the cargo van, we figured it was time to come home!

We found lots of great stuff...some will be coming in with us this weekend to the shop...some will go to our new location!  (No pictures...you'll have to come see what we got in person!!)

While I have the new shop on my brain...I've had several people ask for the address already...so here it is:

Punchneedle * American Antiques

* Simple Country Living *

1501 N. Main
