Small Town Charm in Lebanon, Ohio

I had so much fun taking photographs in Lebanon, Ohio, while being a Tourist in my City!  It really does make you feel like you’re on vacation.  Visiting places you haven’t been in a while, looking through shops, taking photographs.  A lot of the same things you do while on vacation!  I went through so many shops in a few hours last Saturday, I didn’t take a card from all of them.  So…..I don’t remember which shop these were from.

This wooden figure was less than a foot tall, but taken from this angle, it looks really tall!  Also, look at how the arm is twisted…a little weird!  It appears quite artsy to me.

I told the shopkeeper I really loved the floor.  How it’s worn, and the color and design.

The only photo I included here from Beneath the Tree, another antique shop, was this one of Toby, the owner’s dog.  I think I was starting to burn out on taking so many photographs in a short period of time.

The Pink Hippo is located a few doors down from the bulk of the other antique shops, therefore not as many people make their way to it.  But as you can see, it’s beautiful!

The L&M Railroad is fun to take a ride on.  They offer a variety of scenic rides.

This concludes my mini tour of Lebanon.  The City has a lot to offer…much more than I’ve shared!

Lovin’ Lebanon, Ohio

I know some people love antiques and shopping in general.  I’m not one of them.  Perhaps because I don’t like a lot of clutter in my home (more things to dust) and as far as shopping…I usually go into a store knowing what I need to buy…look for it…buy it if I find it…and then leave.  I’d rather spend my time doing any of the countless other things I love to do.  Like hiking, biking, jogging, yoga, skiing, photographing, traveling, reading, dancing, socializing, etc.  But I like this kind of shopping…looking for interesting things to photograph!

At Mulberry Street Antiques in Lebanon, Ohio, I found these cool boots…

Lebanon, Ohio has Antiques

Lebanon, Ohio has antiques!  If you’re from the area…you probably already knew this.  Lebanon is a quaint City with over 20,000 residents, located about 40 minutes North of Cincinnati.  It was established in 1802.  I spent a few hours walking from shop to shop on Saturday.  I can’t believe its been 10-15 years since I’ve gone into any of the shops there and was surprised at how much it has grown!

Meet Chase…a real sweetie!  I don’t remember the name of this shop, but I couldn’t forget him!
