I promised awhile back to share a bit more about our unexpected and most enjoyable visit to Cracker Barrel. Remember, my hubby had a work-related errand in another part of our state which just happened to take us within ten minutes of our state's only Cracker Barrel!
We always love the opportunity to go there, but don't get to very often. We especially enjoy visiting around the Christmas season when everything is decorated so festively and the country store is filled with beautiful gift ideas.

My hubby enjoyed one of their festive seasonal breakfasts, the white chocolate and fresh berry French toast. He said it was delicious!
And then after the meal we had plenty of browsing time before returning to pick up the cylinders Mr. T had brought to Cat for rebuilding. We had actually had
more than enough time and arrived back a bit early. I would like to go back after Christmas and see if any of that pretty brown transferware is on clearance.

| Love these houses! This is not a tiny house but is relatively large compared to most putz houses. |
 |
| Not sure if this was a tiered server or one footed plate atop another. I love the pretty cardinals with the brown transferware. |

| I'm not a huge fan of foxes, but this teapot is pretty! |

All in all, just a lovely visit to one of our very favorite places.
Cracker Barrels have wonderful gift shops. Hope you find what you want on sale after Christmas. I am a fan of brown transferware myself.
ReplyDeleteThis was so pretty, Vee! I'm not sure I have seen transferware yet that I'm NOT a fan of! But brown is particularly lovely, I think. Yes, it would be fun to find it on clearance. It was 40% off when we were there. But it needs to be less... Hope I can get back there after Christmas. We shall see!
ReplyDeleteYour Cracker Barrel is decorated like the ones down here. We ate there Sunday night on our way home from Nashville and I was surprised that most of the Christmas things were already marked down and many were gone. :( Hope you can find the transfer ware Mrs T.
ReplyDeleteNice to think of us enjoying the same decorations and Christmas things, Arlene, even though we are miles and states apart.
DeleteWe will see if I can get back to ours after Christmas and maybe there will be some of the transferware left.
Pretty.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, Regine? I love Cracker Barrel.
DeleteWe love Cracker Barrel. WE have many memories of siting at the one in Colorado Springs and watching the snow come in over the mountains. It was conveniently located "on our way home from work"! Yummy food!
ReplyDeleteWhat a convenient location indeed, Bernideen: "on the way home from work"! Wish that was the case here; we would probably spend far too much time there, though. Comfort food at its best!
DeleteCracker Barrel is hard to beat! Several years ago when my children were young, we moved from Ohio to Florida. That cold January day, we stopped at three different Cracker Barrels in three different states for all three meals! What a fun memory.
ReplyDeleteOh, a very fun memory indeed, Brenda! I remember some trips we have taken when we stopped at Cracker Barrels a number of times. But all three meals in one day must be some sort of record! Their food is perfect for a cold day ... and coming in to the warmth of that fireplace is just like coming home. Thanks for sharing this delightful memory!
DeleteNo Cracker Barrels here, but they look like a fun place to visit and browse.
ReplyDeleteThey are, Lorrie, and the food is just good home cooking ... true comfort food. Thanks for stopping by!
