- Today we are going to go down to Massachusetts and visit The Whiffle Tree Candle Co. and I'm also going to take you to Wegman's.....the BEST Grocery Store (in my opinion). Then we come home and I will show you how I am preparing for House Guests.
What a beautiful place to see and explore. Massachusetts is such a beautiful state to explore too.
Yes, I agree Jamie.
Now I want cookies! yum!
What a lovely place Carla. Thank you for showing it to us. ☺️🕊️
Glad you enjoyed it Donna!
I couldn't leave the candle shop without smelling every candle in the place first. I'd have to take home a variety of tealights and votives, plus tapers in every color! The grounds are my absolute idea of perfection. It would an answered prayer to live somewhere in the beautiful woods in an old, quaint town. ❤❤❤
Yes, the Setting is incredible!
Carla
Sweet video! Thank you for showing us around, so in love with New England!!! The store was amazing especially the fresh seafood and pastries!
Enjoying the music in your videos, so relaxed and beautiful. 🧡🩷🙏
Thank you!
Such a coincidence I’m from Billerica originally. So nice visiting it again with you. Now in Florida for almost 50 years and when going through old pics ran across a pic of my family and I there. Thanks for the memories.💕
How fun!n Enjoy the rest of your week Camille.
Hi Carla, thank you for another wonderful road trip, love the candle shop with so many beautiful things and love the picture you picked up. What a beautiful guest room so welcoming and cozy with all the special touches. Your cookies looked delicious too❤
the cookies looked so delicious
Thank you Maria
Lovely video Carla, gorgeous items in the shop & the outside for some odd reason reminded me of Little House on The Prairie! I tasted one of your cookies it was very nice…. Only dreaming..😋
LOL, thank you Jean. I love the Little House on The Prairie comparison.
You remind me so much of Martha Stewart! When my mother was still alive I would call her on Tuesdays and we would watch Martha, each at our own homes, and we laughed and I can hear her comments. Thank you
What a fun place to visit. Your road trips are amazing.
Thank you Fran!
Hi Carla, the candle store and grounds are beautiful...as is the picture you purchased. Your guest room looks so welcoming, I hope you had a great weekend together x
Thank you Kareem. We did have a great weekend, it had been too long since we had seen our friends. Have a wonderful week Kareem!!
What a lovely trip. I was a bit surprised to see you feature Wegmans, we live in Rochester NY home of Wegmans! ❤️their ultimate chocolate cake for special occasions. Thank you for sharing.
Yum, that sounds delicious!
This place looks beautiful ❤ I'm in RI so it is only an hour drive. Looks like I will be taking a trip soon!
Have fun!
Ha ha...I'm from PA and we've had Wegmans for years. It truly is fun to go to a Wegmans! Loved the Whiffle Tree Candle Co...I have to check it out!
Wow, lucky you. I love that Store and it's always such a treat for me going there.
Very nice, Carla.....Wegmans is fabulous....I wish they would put one in our section of New Hampshire!! Next time I visit my friends in Dracut, MA, I will take a detour to Billerica! 🌷💕🌺
Yes, I would love one in NH! The closest is that one in Burlington.
Love the video
When my daughter and I use to shop down in Pennsylvania in November for Xmas and we had lunch in wegmans their squash soup was delicious
Yum, that sounds delicious! I have enjoyed anything I have gotten from their Cafe area. 😊
What a unique shop and grocery store. You know I would never get past the pastry counter.❤❤
They definitely have some yummy pastries!
How is it I have lived in Mass my whole life and never heard of this candle co! I will definitely be taking a trip there! Thank you for taking us there!
Oh wow, I'm glad I could introduce you to a new fun place. Enjoy Cindy!
Oh boy I got home sick from Billerica to where I lived is 15 minutes
I love that place , so many wonderful places to go
Wegmans is wonderful
Don't have one here
Texas does has Heb and I love sprouts here
Your guest room is beautiful
Yummy cookies , such a great idea with the cookies but mine come out always so hard
I could break a window lol
Happy Sunday
Enjoy your company
Thank you for sharing home
Thank you Joann. I've heard Sprouts is great too!
I really enjoyed your trip to the candle shop! That little white covered dish with the rabbit, would have come home with me! I looked to see where it was, as I live in CT, and was hoping it might be off 91, as my husband and I take it up to Vermont 2-3 times a year, but is no where near and about 2 1/2 hours from my home. What lucky guests you have! 💗
Happy Sunday! Have you been to Green Plum Vintage Goods in Newburyport yet? Very fairly priced antique, vintage and newer items. Also the women who work there are super nice 😊
Ooooh no I haven't, I'll add it to my list, thank you Julie.
Enjoy! Gate keeping all of the good spots is no fun! If you’re there in the summer, Oldies Antique Barn is also great! A little on the pricier side but there are still deals to be found. I haven’t been yet but I’ve heard Todd Farm Flea Market in Rowley, MA (opening in April) is good too!
What an idyllic setting for that candle shop. Just driving in, I wanted to go sit in the gazebo with the little fountain pond and have lunch! I am a candleholic for sure. It's what I usually treat myself to when I am visiting or on an excursion. The shop had something for everyone. I could spend a lot of time , not to mention money in there. But the grounds, with the views, and the moss covered rocks, the little covered red bridge was out of a picture! I can almost imagine people 100 years ago here. Gosh, I sure wish we had Wegmans here. The displays of fruits and vegetables , flowers, and my weakness... artisan breads ... and seafood had me hook , line and sinker! It would be my favorite grocery store for sure!!! Your lucky guests will be delighted at all your thoughtful touches!
Such a darling shop. Added to my list. Thank you for sharing!
Love the tour of shop & grounds...and your guests are truly pampered/welcomed. Enjoy their visit.
Thank you Wendy
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
I live out west now. Originally from upstate NY & I gota tell you, I miss my Wegmans😢❤
I believe it.....love that Store.
Carla, you're not going to believe this but I just drove by the Whiffle Tree on Friday, as my brother and I were heading back to NH. (Traffic was terrible on Rt 95 so we took the back roads. I grew up about 15 minutes from the Whiffle Tree and my brother and I were reminiscing about it as we passed by. We wondered what had become of it and saw a sign but couldn't read it. I have such fond memories of that place !! It was much more colonial themed back then. By the way, I'm 64 so that gives you an idea of time. I loved looking at all the beautiful gifts. The grounds look just the same. You could skate on their little pond back in the day. I feel like you and I have these little connections. I'm the one who told you how I used to vacation at Plum Island. You brought a smile to my face and I'm planning on going there very soon ! Thanks !
Oh my goodness, what a coincidence!!! I talked with the new Owner, she's owned it for a little over a year and has changed it to different "Booths per se" that are rented out to different Consignors. The candles are still made by the previous Owner. It was more Primitive the last time I was there also which was roughly 8 yrs ago. Such beautiful grounds.
Loved going to candle store with you! I could spend hours in there and like you, a lot of money! Lol. Loved the picture you bought too!
You got it right the first time!
Bill-Ricka 😂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
LOL, I know, I was just showing how non-New Englanders would pronounce it. I love listening to different dialects from throughout our Country.😊
😅 we certainly have some unique ones in Massachusetts! I’m from a few towns over, Concord, or as the locals pronounce it, Con-curd 😂
I LOVE Con-curd!
I love when you take trips to ma. My Son & grandson live Ma. We visit there when we can the last summer we were there we visited yankee candles I love the shop you visted I’ll have to ask my son how far it is from where he lives So I can visit next time
Have you been to Kringle Candle? That's only about 20 min. from Yankee.
Oh my, as a “candleaholic” just leave me in there, heaven on earth❤❤❤. We have Wegmans here in upstate New York, the best store ever!
I agree....best store ever!
@@mynewenglandstory love their bagels and homemade cream cheeses!
I lived in Billerica and used to get my water at the Whiffle Tree.
I did take some containers with me so I could try the water. Such a cute filling station.
Love this video. What is the wonderful piano music?
All of the Music is listed below my Video. Have a great week Jean.
Are you from Michigan by any chance? The Verner’s is a clue plus your accent sounds familiar to me! I grew up in Rhode Island and now live in Michigan by way of San Diego and Memphis so my accent is all over the place! Loved the candle store and will make a trip there next time I visit “home” 😊
Yes, I am originally from MI, we moved to NH 5 yrs ago and absolutely love New England. I grew up drinking Vernors and can only find it at Wegman's. I especially crave it when I have a cold or flu. Thank you for watching and enjoy Michigan.
This was fun, Carla.💜
The candle shop & grounds were very unique, I can imagine how pretty it would be in the Spring & Autumn seasons. The self-serve spring water, what a bonus treat!
I love that you incorporated Pussy Willows into your guests’ flower bouquet, a special favorite of mine.
What a wonderful hostess you are, I’m sure your visitors felt very pampered & welcomed!
Lovely video, as always!
Thank you Melinda. Yes, I would love to go back and see the grounds once the flowers start popping up.....such a Serene setting.
Carla, can you be my personal shopper😂?
LOL, sure!
@@mynewenglandstoryI love the things in that store!! You have great places to thrift and antique in!
Wow that grocery store is over the top.How are the prices?
It would depend on what Store you're comparing to. Some things are higher but they have SO many choices and brands. it's hard to compare. I would not compare them to Whole Foods prices.....better.
The quality is wonderful. Most products are worth the price. The bakery is to die for.
