Nelson Grove General Store Moving up to an E Bay Store

 Changing my ebay account to a store today. Probably more work but the amount of listings i am generating it will be less expensive. Picking what to put on is important. The name of the store is Nelson Grove General Store because i sell everything and anything. From Jewelry to antique cabbage slicers. 

I have tried to pick merchandise in the best condition. Am becoming a much fussier picker. I just received a  Cha Ching from E Bay a rolling pin ceramic with wood handles Isobel from London with ads printed on 75.00 this was a great sale. Didn’t take long maybe a month. Also sold a vintage Table Talk Pie Pan today.. I do love Primitives but I sell anything i think will make someone happy and make me a little money.  My Grandmother was a picker and had 2 antique shops in her lifetime. My parents had a shop and my Mom still picks and sells so i guess it is in my blood. I also a Hand hooked Rug Maker and I dye. Wool for my projects. I use wool fabric such as skirts and some off the bolt.

I am really enjoying picking and I love researching an item to find the most I can about it. 

Wish me luck!

 Local Dining

One of the first warm evenings of the year means a trip somewhere for seafood on the water. Usually this trip would be to the Bayside in Westport but I am getting older and that is too far to drive just for Dinner. So we decided on the Mill Wharf in Scituate. We were lucky and able to be seated right away and outside! Nice breeze and beautiful view. Joe had a Large and delicious fried seafood platter and I a fresh (Scituate) lobster roll. The lobster roll was delicious, the mayo and celery were light so the lobster flavor shined through. Served on the traditional buttered and grilled New England style hot dog roll. Our waitress kaley was very good and even made me off menu suggestions on how to have my lobster.As we were leaving we ran into a friend we hadn’t seen for a while and had a quick talk.  A beautiful start to warm summer nights.

 

 Springtime Quiche

I love making a quiche because the leftovers can be had at any meal. This has local eggs from neighbors and our asparagus, roasted peppers from the freezer and local Asiago Cheese from Foxboro cheese Co. We had a salad with all local greens,sprouts and micro greens.  So in making this I know i wont have to cook for at least 2 days.
