Nobleboro Antique Exchange

Located on US Route 1 in Nobleboro, Maine, the Nobleboro Antique Exchange offers a delightful array of antiques and collectibles. It is also the place to bring antiques for repair and restoration. The Antique Exchange features over 70 of mid-coast Maine's finest antique merchants.

Along the cobblestone path, under the arbor and up the stairs to the porch.

Where I spotted this patio set and antique watering can.   It was love at first sight.

This charming miniature chest of drawers would be perfect for stamps and stationery, jewelry, a collection of antique post cards or treasured love letters.

This lovely antique hutch was restored and painted in a soft gray with robin's egg blue shelves. It makes for a perfect display of antique dishes.

 

Blue was the theme for this gorgeous mirrored cabinet. The pillows were made from repurposed vintage fabric and the ship's lantern tied into the nautical theme of this room.  See the model boats in the reflection of the mirror?

 

 

 

And here is a collection from  Sweet Woodruff Farm featuring fun indulgences for home, garden & soul. From antique watering cans, to grain bag tote bags, old wire baskets and birdcages.

 

 

 

This weathered hutch displayed odds and ends of garden and kitchen items. I loved the purple and yellow stools next to the worn beige and browns.

 

 

 

 And tucked in the corner were some fragrant handmade soaps and some vintage linen towels.

And why not choose a lovely antique dish to repurpose as a soap dish. They were just $3 and $4 a piece and would make a perfect hostess gift.

 

Stashed away in the hallway leading to the lower level was a wonderful collection of garden trellises, repurposed muslin pillows, a picnic basket, bundles of raffia and lavender sachets. And yes, "so much more to see!"

This was an interesting collection- a vintage globe, sleigh bells, metal rabbits, a variety of kitchen wares, vintage linens and even chickens under glass.

 

Here is a wall of interesting and whimsical fish made from repurposed wood. And I love the mint green cabinet.

 

 

 

I could have stayed all afternoon and enjoyed a glass of ice tea and a green apple. Perhaps I could have caught up on some correspondence.

 

 

Or I could have picked out a book from their vast library of vintage books and magazines, and then curled up in a chair to read.

 

 

 

But instead we took in all the wonderful sights and vowed to return soon.

And until then, I will follow them on Facebook and Twitter!!
