I paid this “leisurely farmhouse shoppe full of fresh vintage style, from antiques, cottage to industrial“ a visit over the weekend for their Kick Off Fall Celebration.
There were of course pumpkins and fall decor galore. And tucked in between all of the autumn gorgeousness were the items that make my heart sing!
Items like classic Blue Ball Mason Jars nestled in industrial wire baskets.
and baskets full of antique knobs and patina-ed door plates.
and Shutters, Shutters everywhere!
How darling is this magnetic tic-tac-toe board? So many creative ideas!
This tool box immediately caught my eye….and decided it needed to come home with me. Stay tuned as I have a fun and special project planned for it.
How fun would this antique chair back be in a garden or backyard tree topped with a flower basket?!
There was more than just vintage selling going on out at Sweet Buy and Buy, there were also some amazing vendors like Laura of Unique Beads by Laura.
Laura was sharing her amazing glass making skills. She custom makes all of her beads and creates gorgeous one of a kind jewelry pieces. Kentucky Wildcats anyone? grin!
A step inside reveals room after room of farmhouse goodness!
from vintage dishes to chalk painted furniture, there is something for everyone.
Even the simplest things like cotton twine in a footed jar seem special and unique.
How about some chic vintage hats tucked in under the eaves?
or this darling room at the top of the stairs?
but even more special than all of the lovely items at Sweet Buy and Buy, are the amazing women who own it!
They are not only active members of our community but have brought a much needed unique and special place to Dry Ridge, for those of us who love and appreciate decorating our homes with “pieces from the past.”
While I was there I ran into so many old friends and it was a thrill to see their familiar faces patronizing Sweet Buy and Buy…and right before I walked out the door I even ran into Norma of Norma Kentiques who I met through the At The Picket Fence Facebook Page! That made my trip complete.
I’d love to invite you to pay Sweet Buy and Buy a visit if you are ever in Northern Kentucky! It is definitely worth a stop off in Dry Ridge, I promise you won’t be disappointed..and you might even run into me…cause I’ll be back often! You can follow Sweet Buy and Buy on Facebook to keep up with these amazing ladies!

Oh my gosh Heather, that’s the type of shop I could spend all day in!!
Me too! I’ve already got plans to go back this week, to buy all of the things I couldn’t with Bama Boy around. 😉 lol
Heather
It was thrilling to meet you too Heather, in person and at such a neat place. Love your fb page, blog and you too! Love how the wind arranged my hair so….windblown, lol!
Next time you come down this way, you’ll have to check out this unique and quaint log cabin (link below) where folks can spend the night. Very primitive and so relaxing, besides a creek even.
I almost missed you, was busy checking out my friend table with her soaps, Judy Mullins who runs an awesome Log Cabin getaway a bit south of Sweet Buy and Buy. She’s also famous for her fabulous soaps she sells out of Country Hearts in town which is also my 2nd location within.

I love the name! If I were within driving distance, I’d pop in.
Lucky, I would love to shop there! =) Great photos Heather, thanks for sharing! XO ~Liz
Wow, what an amazing shop! Might be worth planning a driving trip next summer through the States.

I’m so jealous. It is exactly my kind of shop. Unfortunately, California is a bit of a distance…so I appreciate the great photos.

What a unique shop! I wish I had that shop close to me!
What a beautiful store. I don’t think I have anything like that near me. Such unique and cool things.
What a great shop. I love the old shutters and the chair hanging with the missing legs.
