I hope that I have included most of the businesses in Sperryville in this series on holiday shopping in our village. If I have not mentioned a business, please know that the omission is not intentional. Please call, or , send me an email right away. I will be finishing up next week.

Sperryville - A delightfully eclectic antiques destination

Our antique dealers are as delightfully eclectic as is everything else in Sperryville. Elmer's on Route 651, Atkin’s Road, is a place to find anything you need (like daw foot tubs, furniture, architectural treasures) and to find out just about anything you need to know about the history of Sperryville from Elmer. All goods are casually displayed in large bam-like buildings where you go on a treasure hunt to find what you need. Just a bit farther west on route 211, stop to see Jimmy Wayland at Piny Run FWm for the best selection of cast iron ware and crocks for every need or for decoration. We have all admired Sunny Anderson and his wife who set up their antiques on the banks of the Thornton River during spring, summer and fall, just next to Old Way Gallery. They are to be commended for their determination to sit through all kinds of weather! On Main Street in Sperryville, County Home Antiques offers a collection of fine antique furniture. Just off Water Street you will find Copper Fox Antiques with its ever expanding number of dealers and where items are logically organized and tastefully displayed in the old apple packing warehouse. Next door the Antique Market and Design Studio offers interior design services, new furniture and - antiques. Attic Treasures, on Route 211 at the intersection of Old Hollow, is artfully crammed with beautifully displayed items, a tribute to its founder, Betty Pullen. Still owned by Clyde Pullen and his daughter Debbie Knick, the store is now run by Clyde’s sister, Kathy Pullen. This neat building catches your eye with the outdoor displays and those wonderful three dimensional metal stars. You will find an old wooden wheelbarrow next to the front door which would grace any of our county homes. There is a large selection of table lamps with lovely Fenton glass shades and I saw a set of cups and saucers with sugar and creamer with a very sweet holly design. Attic Treasures also has a selection of candles and pot pourri for your last minute holiday shopping needs. The store will be open Monday through Saturday until Christmas.
