Cameron, NC Antiques Festival

It's that time of year again when my sister and I get together and head for the Cameron Antiques Festival, while our hubbies spend the day golfing. The festival is held every year, the first weekend in May. This year the day started off a bit cloudy with a chance of rain, but as the day went on the sun came out and it was a beautiful day.




Cameron is a wonderful little town in North Carolina where the streets are lined with antique shops, nice places to eat, coffee shops, and the most beautiful homes! I think I enjoy looking at the homes as much as I do the antiques.




Vendors line up along the main street in town, and in front yards, adjoining lots, driveways and parking lots.

The Old Hardware Store is one of my favorite antique shops. There is also a small resturant on the bottom floor with outside patio for eating.

We had a good cup of coffee at the Muse Bros. Antique Shop.

Later we enjoyed a NC barbeque sandwich with slaw, and fries. Tents and tables were set up for eating, and there were fresh flowers on the tables too!




So much stuff to look at!

Here is Miss Belles Tea Room and Antiques. It's a gorgeous home surrounded by big magnolias.

And I'm sure you're wondering what I bought.

Well..........I found this great chair I just had to have. Only $25. It's an old vintage metal rocking chair. (I was lucky it fit in my sisters trunk of her car!) I'm thinking about painting it pink, like my other pink chair on the patio.

I found a few other little treasures, and there was something about this turquoise metal mermaid that spoke to me. Had to have it.




And so ends another year at the Cameron Antiques Festival. What a great day, and so much fun!

Cameron, North Carolina, and an award

The historic town of Cameron, NC had their annual fall Antique Street Fair on Saturday. Hubby and I headed over to my sister's house for the weekend.

First was a stop at Starbucks for a cup of coffee. Otis and Riley love to stop at drive-in windows.

Of course, the guys opted to play golf while my sister and I planned to spend the whole day at the fair. Cameron is just south of Chapel Hill and Raleigh. We cross Lake Jordan.

Cameron is a small village with beautiful historic homes and wonderful antique shops. The fair is held every year ~ spring and fall.

This is the historic Muse Bros. Country Store.

Venders were lined up all along main street and in vacant lots.

Beautiful antique linens.

See these two hurricane lamps with the dangling crystals.........that's right, they came home with me.

This is Miss Belle's Tea Room and Antiques. We were going to have lunch here but the wait was too long so we decided to do it another time.

Isn't Miss Belle's a beautiful place?

More fun things.
The fair ended at 5:00pm and my sister and I were there till the very last minute. What a wonderful day! We met up with the guys, had a nice dinner and headed home the next morning.





This I bought at the fair too. Couldn't resist!
