As I drove by I would always see the beautiful flowers and displays but normally I would just be riding through town and just did not have the time to stop in. Today, we decided to stop in and I am so glad we did. We picked up an amazing deal on mums for our garden. In addition we were able to shop in other parts of their nursery and were able to pick up another addition to add to our garden. The variety of fall plants and flowers were simply beautiful. When we went inside the store to pay we were impressed with the fall decorations. I can definitely see us coming back to find more beautiful plants to add to our garden.

On a telephone pole, I saw what looked like an advertisement for a carnival, but it was for a new store called Weirdo Wonderland. It said it was a store dedicated to all things strange and unusual. I've been obsessed with horror and sci-fi films my whole life, so it sounded like it was right up my alley. I eventually popped in on a Saturday afternoon. I was stunned when I walked in. Lots and lots of horror and sci-fi collectibles. Tons of old movie posters and art prints. Various props, masks, old toys, plastic model kits, comics, and even old issues of "Famous Monsters of Filmland". The owner was very personable too. I'll definitely be popping in again to check out their collection of creepy chachkies.

They offer candles, home furnishings, jewelry, pretty much anything you can think of. It is beautiful inside. I can't believe I didn't know about this place! I found them by chance. I think this is the perfect place for people who might want to do some Holiday shopping but do not want to brave (gulp) the MALL! I am one of those people who prefer a charming gift shop oozing warmth and New England charm to the impersonal business and crowded hassles of the big box stores and shopping malls. There is alot here to explore and it is easy to find and parking is ample. It reminds me of the lovely shops in Cape Cod and Maine, places I adore and do not see much of in Fairfield County. Now that I am aware of them, I will certainly be there frequently And here's a tip: they personalize many of their items, if you want that service. You just can't beat that. Highly recommended.
