Today Elly & I ventured out to Ledyard,CT to see another Antique Store that sell primitive American antiques. The Open House with the house tour was on Friday night, but we had decided to go to our neighbor's live Band House Party instead. The ride took about 85 minutes. There were no signage or arrows pointing to to location, but Google Maps showed us the way.

| They had a few animals, 2 Donkeys, 2 sheep, 2 geese, 2 chickens |

| Here's lookin' at you! |
There were only 3 other cars in the parking lot and we were a little apprehensive that we got the day correct, becuase other that the Open House days, they are only open by appointment. We were OK that we missed the house tour on Friday.
The antique shop was in the barn, so we walked on up to the shop. Here are a few of the items in the shop. The prices were very expensive, but we loved looking at all their items.
There were four other ladies talking and as they headed out the door they turned and asked "Do you want to see the house?" They didn't have to ask twice. We were going to get a special guided tour of the house without all the crowd that was there the previous night. Yeah!

It was a nice trip and a beautiful house decorated in primitive antiques, worth a trip.
