Exploring Antique Shops and Kitchen in Ruckersville

A customer of mine suggested that I check out Jack's Shop Kitchen in Ruckersville up Route29.
The first floor is a gourmet lunch spot with a chef. I had the turkey cobb salad that was yummy.




This is three shops in one building, the eat in on the main floor. Number two would be
the antique shop on the second floor called Green House Shops.








The third shop is an antique shop in the basement called Gateway Antique Center, more shared antique booths with very unique booths, each turn of a corner reviles more great treasures.


And on my way home going back up 29, I had to stop in to Ruckersville Antiques, a large upscale
antique space with a beautiful display of all kinds of goodies, anything from furniture, to jewelry, to
silver.



What did I buy?


This beautiful small French chair for under $20.00.

This vintage mirror for under $20.00
This beautiful blue hand made vase for my Mom for her birthday in November.
 12 pieces of Limoge dessert and luncheon plates for under $14.00.
Mini hand porcelain vases for under $3.00.
A porcelain painted cake knife and two really funky lamps, with a two way light.
Top light bulb under the shade and the lanterns also light up.
Great day for shopping, well worth the trip!
