39th Anniversary Getaway

Tom and I recently celebrated 39 years of marriage.

We decided to go fairly local this year...two hours south to Roanoke.

Our first stop of the morning was Black Dog Salvage...which I'd heard about on a friend's instagram when they visited there: Lots of antiques and interesting items to browse outside:

And inside as well:

Tom enjoyed seeing the wood products in the shop...especially checking out the cutting boards since that's what he's in the middle of making now:

Lots of cutting boards to choose from...from low prices:

To higher priced specialized ones like this one below:

The wood design area was very interesting...unique dining tables for sale made from large wood slabs:

Two areas were my favorites in the shop...first the many rooms with doors, doors, and more old doors. Going prices were $75 - $150. I was interested in ways they suggested how to use old doors as decoration:

And I thought this piece of furniture with tons of knobs to choose from was very interesting. I kept trying to come up with places I could use some colorful antique knobs: All in all, Black Dog Salvage was an interesting place to visit, although we didn't find anything to bring home with us.

Usually when we're away on an anniversary trip Tom makes sure we find cutesy little gift shops, antique stores, and quilting shops to visit because he knows I love them! And we did find two fabric shops to visit this trip.

But...I really wanted us to find a woodworking store for Tom to visit this time around! And we did...Woodcraft! He thoroughly enjoyed browsing and drooling over everything in the shop, pointing out to me tools he had, and finding some clamps he needed:

Unfortunately, we didn't get a photo of us together on our special day! But we had a very enjoyable time celebrating 39 years together!

Hope you enjoyed traveling along with us!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DEB AND TOM, GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE. USTEDES Y NOSOTROS SI TENEMOS MUCHOS AÑOS DE ESTAR JUNTOS, YA TENEMOS 41 AÑOS DE CASADOS Y SIEMPRE JUNTOS. HOY EN DIA SON POCOS LOS MATRIMONIOS QUE LLEGAN A ESTAR TANTO TIEMPO JUNTOS, INCLUSO TODA LA VIDA, ESA ES NUESTRA META HASTA QUE DIOS NOS LLAME A SU CASA. BENDICIONES HERMANOS EN CRISTO.

Congratulations on your 39th! As my DH says, "Each year gets sweeter."

Happy Anniversaray!! Thirty nine years is a rarity these days, but the Lord is gracious to His children. :)

Love the cutting boards in that shop, especially that last one. It looks a little edgy, but it's nifty.

And I really love the chest with all the drawers and knobs.
