Review from Charles, Austin, TX: A very lovely inn with a friendly innkeeper. The room was clean, freshly painted, and nicely appointed. One of the best beds EVER, and wonderful pillows and linens. Great coffee and deluxe toiletries in room. I will happily return next time I am in town.

ON THE ROAD with
The Eagle” Antiques
Located on “Antique Alley”
by Mary Michaud
I am a busy dealer who loves to decorate. I have a large space at White Home Collections, and I also participate in White Home Market every third week-end of the month. I love what I do. It's never boring. It can be challenging, and often stressful, trying to pull together a certain look by the deadline, but I love the hunt; finding those special pieces that will make it all work. That's what keeps me in the game. One place I can rely on for that is Stone House Antiques in Chester, VT. So I am head over to their “Dealer Day” event which happens on the first Tuesday of the month. Most booths in this multi dealer shop offer deep discounts and many of the dealers are on hand and willing to negotiate a price. I try to be there when they open at 10am because it gets busy fast! This event is not to be missed. And did I mention the fabulous complementary pot luck spread that is to die for? Chester is such a picturesque town. I love the Gingerbread Victorians and quaint little shops in the village, especially around the holidays when their gazebo is decorated and lit. Another shop you will want to visit is William Austin Antiques at the junction of RTS 11 & 103. Here you can wander through what seems like endless rooms full of antiques. Enjoy a treat at their old fashioned authentic soda fountain, or dine on baked stuffed lobster in their new restaurant. Not hungry? You can pick up some fresh seafood at their Lobster Pound to take home for later. Austin's offers several restoration and refinishing services as well, including re-caning, and mirror, brass and copper restorations. If you've never been to William Austin's, Antiques, you owe it to yourself to experience this unique and interesting place. Next, I decide to head north on RT 11 to Fraser’s Antiques. Fraser’s offers fine country antiques, pottery, wooden ware, quilts and more. Their collection of out of print books is what interests me today. Fraser’s is open by chance or appointment and they do recommend calling ahead when coming from a distance. Their number is 802-875-5944 should you decide to take the nice ride. Finally, I decide to stop at Windham Antique Center on the Square in Bellows Falls, Vt. I have plenty of time to browse since they're open until 7pm. Pieces are exquisitely displayed in an almost museum-like atmosphere and this is what makes this shop really stand out. Last winter I found a gorgeous mantle here; another time, a stunning vintage dress form. I wonder what I might find today. Well, I hope to see you at one of these shops sometime, or maybe bump into you at Allen Bros. Farms while I'm picking out my Christmas tree, or trying to decide which one of their homemade pies to buy – there are so many varieties to choose from! If you find yourself traveling through Wilton NH, please stop by White Home Collections and introduce yourself, I would like to know if you enjoyed this article! Until next issue, I'd like to wish you a wonderful holiday season and a new year of peace and happiness.

to New England’s Best Shops & Services A Holiday Challenge for You by Joy Birdsey
This holiday season brings with it a reason for gra�tude, blessings, great food and gi� giving. Why not stretch yourself and your family by considering changing the way you holiday shop, while �ghtening up those purse strings, yet s�mula�ng our local economy. Try to make a commitment to shop locally within the one hour radius of the Monadnock Region and seek out some really interes�ng gi�s. Think about re-cycling, re-using, and pick out that second-hand treasure, one-of a-kind cra�, or an�que in one of the shops in this issue. We challenge you and your family to poke around, take a friend or family member and have some fun! Create a story about your object of delight, write it up and include in your holiday gi�, and bring holiday gi� giving to new heights while suppor�ng local establishments. Need something for that person who has everything? Consider a day trip or two and include a gi� cer�ficate to one of the fabulous food places. Think memories, your childhood, that first date, the 10th year anniversary, a notable birthday, a special vaca�on and look for a gi� that matches that thought. Need to be prac�cal? What about a gi� cer�ficate for shoe repairs, wood, interior design, car repairs or an evening of pampering at a local Bed ‘n Breakfast or a custom cake for their next birthday? It's all here in The Economizer! Enjoy the many events and places for November and December and be sure to wander throughout the region. Let us know about your trip, we would enjoy hearing your story! Happy Holidays!

fitzwilliam nh Blake House Country Store & Gift Shop Amos J. Blake House Museum, Fitzwilliam NH For many years, the country store at the Amos J. Blake House Museum in Fitzwilliam welcomed visitors near and far as the place to come for fine gifts and specialty food. After an extended shutdown, the Blake House Country Store & Gift Shop has reopened. It now offers two rooms, of beautiful, handcrafted consignment items and various other gifts sure to please any shopper. The store set-up is much improved over previous years. The manager has chosen to keep a few antique pieces on display in both rooms. This enhances the shopping experience, making the customer feel they stepped back in time, if you will. After all, it is a museum. Of particular interest is a gorgeous hand-combed vintage mail cabinet. It holds high quality alpaca, wool and Angora rabbit pieces in the old mail slots. As the store gears up for the holidays, you will find fresh arrivals of beautiful pieces on a weekly basis. Price ranges will fit the wallet of any shopper. For those artistic aficionados, you will be happy to know that local artists Tim Campbell and Alicia Drakiotes honored the store by agreeing to place some of their exceptional artwork here. Another local artist, Lynne Brown, is also here. Her work focuses on Fitzwilliam scenes and places area locals in certain pieces; some will recognize their neighbors in a few of her pieces. Store hours are limited for this first year; the Society is sure to increase hours some time in 2014. Only cash and checks are accepted. Store hours are currently Saturday & Sunday, 1:00-5:00 pm. New consignors are always welcome to contact the Society for consideration of their pieces being placed in the store. Theresa Harlow-Sillanpaa

F O L K A RT I S TS’ Christmas Open House
Saturday November 9th 2013 10:00am - 2:00pm (snow date Nov. 16th)
Please join us as we welcome you to our fourth Christmas Open House. The days have shortened and there is frost in the air. The old barn, sap house and carriage shed are distant memories of the past, but the old cape still proudly stands on the hill. The circa 1790's homestead has been in my family for three generations. Ladies in long dresses and laughing children in plain homespun frocks and high button shoes have called the humble farmhouse home. Trace their steps as you enter the house and wrap yourself in the spirit of an old fashioned Christmas. The old worn cupboards are once again full of handcrafted Christmas treasures. Old breadboards, wooden bowls, butter churns and gingerbread men are stacked on country tables. Outside, follow winding garden paths leading to sheds decorated with natural wreaths and berries. Please share the day with us watching the sheep graze on open fields and enjoy the breathtaking views. We have been busy gathering early primitive antiques for your shopping pleasure. Step back in time and join us as we celebrate a simply country Christmas. Enter our drawing for a special handmade surprise. Hot mulled cider and cookies will be served in the kitchen. Directions: From the South: 91N, exit 26-1 mile to Greenfield Main St. Take left onto Conway St., 7 miles to Schoolhouse Road (red and green balloons) take right at end of road, take right onto Glen Road. From the North: 91S exit 26, same as above.
