love what is local | chestercountyramblings

On a snowy afternoon, what’s a fun thing to do? Hmmm…maybe go to a Christmas party in an antique market of course!

You also need music …

And some nibbles….

And add some friends and #shoplocal !

We did this at Frazer Antique Market and it was magical. Most importantly besides friends coming together at Christmastime? Supporting a local business and vintage/antiques and crafts people.

It’s not about the influencers who want a ridiculous photo for their Instagram and Snapchat, this is about supporting our local businesses.

And no, I was not compensated for this post OR this event. We paid to host it.

This was our Christmas present to friends and loving what’s local.

Also many, many thanks to the acoustic duo The Dunns for the festive music to add to the atmosphere. You can hear them locally at places like VK Brewing and Myrtos as well as other local spots and places like Cape May in warmer weather months. And they are occasionally available for private events!

I treated myself to two lovely towels for my powder room or half bath or whatever the current politically correct room description is. They are from a local Chester County artisan, Susan Allabashi from Billington Designs. I have hydrangea curtains from Vermont Country Store for the window and fell in love with her feed sack towels when I saw them!
