Trip to Walterboro-Part I

Saturday hubby and I took a little day trip to Walterboro.

Main street is filled with antiques shops (14 of them) and restaurants.

The neighborhoods surrounding downtown boast many old homes and cottages.

This one was my favorite:).

Although worn, this old house has charm.

The old high school building now houses the University.

This antique store, just off the main drag, resides in an 1880's Victorian house.

Guess which antiques store was my favorite?

I had as much fun photographing this house as I did shopping in it.

You know you're a blogger when...

you'd rather take pictures of the store than shop in it:).

Hmmm...I'll just relax on the porch-do you think they would bring me some tea?

Love the fretwork!

Of course, the interior of this shop is just as pretty:).

Fluted moldings and rosettes surround every doorway.

Lovely mantels.

The original tiles and fireplace insert in the front parlor.

Stained glass transoms surround the front door.

On the side porch vintage metal chairs invite visitors to sit a spell.

Hubby accepted the invitation.

The artisans center next door had beautiful radiators.

And lovely flowers too.

After shopping we were hungry so we headed to this little Italian restaurant for lunch.

The food was amazing!

Homemade bread with dipping sauce and salad.

Linguini with clams is one of my favorites!

Even this little lizard seemed to like the restaurant. He waited patiently outside for his table to be prepared:).

Believe it or not there is more to see! Come back tomorrow and we will finish our Walterboro trip!
