Big Green Barn Visit 2.6.26

/

Friends I popped over to The Country Mile in Harding last Friday to see my sweet friend Susan Brierly Bush at her shop the Big Green Barn located at 912 Mt. Kemble Ave. (same as Route 202 between Morristown and Bernardsville.)

Susan is always bringing in new treasures - she spends time each week searching and also assists clients with consigning pieces. There is always something new to see at the Big Green Barn and she is happy to keep an eye open for clients if you are looking for that certain piece.

The Big Green Barn offers something for everyone. Art, Books, Ceramics, Decor, Furniture, Lamps, Mirrors, Statuary, Tabletop and more!

I was thrilled to bring home this lovely watercolor of The Place de la Concorde

Here’s Susan and her right hand man - husband Bob!

It’s always a treat to see Susan and her delightful shop! I encourage you to follow Big Green Barn Instagram page for updates and shop hours so you can plan your visit - you’ll be so glad you did!

Til next time be well friends and I’ll see you over on the Gram!

HER:

For me gift giving is a mix - of Art, Books, Store and Thrifted finds.

An unexpected piece of home decor, art in any form, create a gift basket: personal care (perfume, lotions, face masks), nail care (polishes, remover, accessories, stick-on nails, salon gift card) paper-goods (notebooks, pads, stationary), candles (different scents, shapes, tealight holder and tealights), plants (small plants with a watering can), baked goods (loaf of bread or cookies with a cook book), Matchbooks have become pieces of art - pair with a pretty dish. I never tire of gifting books. A Multitool is always handy. Darn Tough socks live up to their name. Watches for those who still wear them. Oh this speaker is terrific. Beer Making can be a ton of fun. Any of these toys are ready to spark imaginative play!

I hope these suggestions have inspired you!

A Day Spent in Summit, NJ 10 - 9 - 25

/

Hi friends my second excursion with my bestie Kristin found us in Summit, NJ, We shopped, enjoyed a wonderful lunch and shopped again all before 2:30pm!

Kristin, Mary, myself

Our first stop was MK Linens and Home. Owner Mary Kull is a delight and her shop is filled with the most beautiful items. Kristin ordered linen sheets and I picked up a new pair of branch candles in navy blue.

Next we visited Great House. Bonny Neiman has an amazing selection of interesting decor including vintage pieces and beautiful furniture. I picked up a cute match book to add to my ever growing collection.

We savored a delicious lunch at Summit House.

Our final stop was The Summit Antiques Center. There are so many dealers you are sure to find a treasure or two! I never leave empty-handed and I came home with a vintage pitcher and a print of a Venice canal.

I spent $77.00 on my candles, green pitcher, matchbook and Venice print.

If you’re in the area of Summit, NJ or even if you’re not I highly recommend a visit to this lovely town. The shopping and fine dining make it a destination. Til next time be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram.
