Welcome to My New England Story where I am living my dream of moving from the Midwest to New England.....a 10 year dream. My Husband and I purchased an Antique, Federal Colonial home (1796) in 2019. On this Channel I share Life.....home decor, renovations, consignment shopping, gardening, cooking, crafting and of course exploring beautiful New England. I invite you to join the wonderful Community we are building here filled with like minded people.
The Vermont Country Store is one thing on my bucket list. My father's mother always wore Wing Sing perfume. Evetime I smell it I think of her. Great video. Heading to Maine in a week, can't wait.
I love the VT Country Store so am a fan of any footage from there. 😊 l also like the Mod Podge craft project with the American flags. I was thinking how fun it would be to take apart an autumn, spring, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas-motif paper napkin and use Mod Podge to make even more seasonal or holiday-specific candles. Thank you, Carla!
I loved it when I saw all the perfumes we used to wear in the country store! What a blast from the past! When you asked Linda did you used to wear Wind Song I said I used to wear that! And Loves Baby soft was my fav! Great video!❤️
Hi Carla, lovely to see you and Linda enjoying a day out and having fun. The general store had so many goodies to look at, I expect you were in there for a while 😄 As always the places yiu take us to are just beautiful 😍 Have a wonderful week x

I loved seeing all the vintage cologne bottle, I had many of those back in the day..I loved Gloria Vanderbilt scent at that time and ''Skin'' by Bonne Bell...I would had loved going to this store! This was fun! Thanks for sharing.
Such a pretty place Carla & that gorgeous little garden was very typical of an English Cottage garden stunning! A very nice photo of you & Linda together, pretty ladies. Thank you for a lovely video…😊
Hey Carla, thanks for taking us site seeing and shopping at Vermont Country store. Loved seeing all the old perfumes. My favorite used to be Maroc by Revlon but you can’t find it anymore. Oh yes, the candy store, you know I loved that.❤
I think my blood pressure dropped 20 points in the first 20 seconds! Your filming is just beautiful. Bosco!!!! OMG.. my Dad always had Bosco and a jar of Malted Milk to stir into real milk!!! No one even heard of 2% in the fifities!!! haha Love the thought of a day out shopping with a girlfriend. And lunch , of course!!!!
LOL, you're so fun Liane! Wasn't there a TV Show that a Character always had to have Bosco? I can't remember right now what Show that is, but yes, we always had either Bosco or Hershey's Syrup. Happy Sunday!
Carla, I just subscribed to your channel after seeing this beautiful video. Thank you. This is the first one that I have seen, and I am "sold" on your content, music, filming, and engaging personality. I have been a faithful subscriber to Linda's NE Fine Living videos. I didn't realize that you are friends. I see you share her "kindred spirit". I live in New York City, so now I can see your beautiful New England towns through your camera lens as well as through Linda's. I am impressed that you responded to all your viewers' comments. God bless, Robert.
Beautiful places to visit during summer, hopefully I’ll get to visit one day. Great to have Linda as a friend. So many interesting items to choose from at the shops! Thanks for sharing your outing! 🍋🪴🌸 ( I always watch your videos on tv then comment on phone I get mixed up at times 😂
The VCS is on my list to visit before summer is over. They used to have my favorite shampoo from the early 80's : Gee your hair smells terrific" not sure if they sell that anymore. I have bought a few things from their catalog and I love the quality of their products. You ladies certainly had a lot of fun on your little trip!
Thank you for taking us along. The Vermont General store looks like you step back in time. Looks like you Linda had a good time and a few laughs. I was in a store in Highlands, NC they had Seabreeze. My grandmother used to use that. I did not know if they still made that. The lake was so peaceful, looks beautiful with the pine trees. Thank you enjoyed your video.
Beautiful videos! Thanks for taking the time to make such nice content with lovely music! Please don’t forget to show us the outside of the stores too like the chocolate store for example (the inside looks great!)!
Thank you! I had done previous Videos on Walpole and The Vermont Country Store (linked below this Video) and showed the outside in those videos if you are interested. Have a great Sunday.
Hi Carla, I loved this video! So nice, seeing you and Linda together! The last time I went to the Vermont Country Store, I bought the Lemon Up shampoo and conditioner, and they take me back to the 70's! I loved the little cottage with the flower gardens you were looking at when the church bells were ringing. Have a great week! 💛🍋💛
Fun video Carla, so nice to see you and Linda enjoying each other's adventures. Great display of take me back memories of the different perfumes. Enjoyed seeing your display of American flags 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤🤍💙 so festive. The Burdicks Chocolate place looks 😋 yummy. Oh to hear the Church bells 🔔 🎶 🙏 touching my heart ❤. As always thankful Carla for sharing your adventures..
I love your videos! I'm a young man from soutth america. I hope one day I'll be able to experience New England's charms for myself! Have a wonderful day! 😊
Love watching your videos, just seeing the beautiful little towns villages are so breathe taking. NH an the New England areas is where I would love to move to one day. The general store you and Linda went was so awesome, an seeing the perfumes was a blast from the pass especially Wind Song I used to wear that when I was in high school and people would compliment me on it I didn't tell them that it was my Mother's perfume but I loved it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you had fun with us. By the way, we were at Vermont Country Store and you can order via Catalog/Online. They may have your perfume! Have a great week Jamie!
Thanks for sharing your travels, Carla. Made me smile to see you and Linda excited about the perfumes. That was a blast from the past! Also, seeing. Bosco chocolate syrup was a reminder of childhood days. I am going to make those flag jar candles. They are charming.❤😊
Thank you Sue. We definitely had a fun day and we were like two kids in a candy store reminiscing with all of the Perfumes, Shampoos and they even had the Kissing Lip Potion (roller ball) if you remember that. lol Have fun with the Flag Candle Jars....so easy and you can be so creative with it. Have a great week Sue!
You did a beautiful job filming Boston. As a kid I went to the North-end once a week to shop at the market with my Italian parents at Haymarket square.where they had fresh fruit and vegetables in their carts. and remember sitting in the back of our station wagon eating fresh hot Italian bread from the bakery. Ha …funny the things that stay with you . we also would go to Regina’s pizza place in the North End which was so delicious ! It is still there and still does a great business and the line to get in was down the street and sound the corner, not too long ago it was on Chronicle on TV….My father was a cab driver in his younger years in Boston and had many stories to share, and had many stars in his cab and knew every street in Boston like the back of his hand. That was when Boston was a much safer place to be.in.. Again thank you for sharing and bringing back fond memories of times gone by.🌸
Went to the Moultonboro store many times over the years when I had family in the area. Sadly It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve been there but thanks for the tour. I was thrilled when you showed the old crocks with the pickles. I wondered if they were still there! I always got a sour pickle.
