I found some cool wall plaques that I loved and John found little towels that had the different branches of the service on them! John also found a stray kitten that the owners have been trying to find a home for! The scmuck named her Raku and then we didn't find a way to take her home! Never name a baby you are not planning to keep! Anyway- the shop was wonderful! Great start to our whirlwind trip through Seagrove!

The Saturday that I went, admission was free thanks to a corporate donor-of-the-day, but it would've been well worth the admission fee.

We were not prepared for how vast the inventory of stained glass is. I think the employee told us all of the stained glass was from 1800s England. All of it was beautiful, I have no idea how we would decide. We made the decision to come back at a later date when we had the time to look through every single bit of stained glass. This spot is awesome! Definitely the place to go if you're looking for stained glass to decorate your house.

Luckily, she works with a few ladies that also love antiques and they told her about the Liberty Antiques Festival. We found out the Festival is held the last week of September and April of each year and has been voted the best antiques show in the mid-Atlantic region. The Festival is held on Pike Family Farm, a 100-acre farm near downtown Liberty. Admission is $10 per adult and children 12 and under are free, parking is also free. We arrived about 11:15am on Saturday morning and were impressed to see how organized the parking and entry area was. We quickly paid our admission fee and began to browse through the many vendor areas that were neatly arranged. We were also happy to see they had lots of places to purchase a cold water, use the restroom and even buy some food. While we were there we indulged in the homemade apple fritters and peach ice cream. We ended up buying a few items for our home and really enjoyed ourselves. We are looking forward to the next one in late April 2023!

You can find all level of antiques here from a few dollars to thousands. Not every vendor is ready to deal but many many are. I have been here more than 5 times and I always leave with something I had to have that I never found in the wild before. There are a few sprinklings of repos throughout but not a lot. This is not a flea market. $7 per person to get in but free parking. Come early - it's over by 5 PM both days. This year I bought a early 1900s microscope a trade stimulator and a bunch of stereo cards and metal advertising signs. Last time I got a pedal car and a vintage vending machine. Never know what you may find. Food on site but only porta johns for bathrooms. I come here every festival. Check it out!

I loved the pottery shop and was peeking into the studio area- Ben was in there working and came out to chat with us. I had already picked out a couple pieces of pottery from inside the shop. And I was greeted at the shop door by Elvis meowing at me! I reached down to pet him and the girl working the shop told me he was begging for food. Lucky Elvis, I had kitty treats in the car! John chased me into the store when he saw me grab the cat treats, lol. I was able to shop while John fed and pet Elvis! Win, win. I made sure to take plenty of pictures & it turns out- my professor had met Ben when he was in graduate school. Pottery makes for a small world! A must stop on the pottery trail through Seagrove!

Got home and googled them and I think you need to follow them on facebook to find out when they are open, which isn't often. Probably a fine store, but if you're going to put signs on the road, you might want to indicate when you are and aren't open before people drive two miles out of the way.
