Beach town antiques

My family and I visited Ocean City, MD for the first time last week. I love the beach and it was so nice to be staying there.

On our way back after a day of sightseeing, we stopped off in the small town of Berlin, MD. It is really a charming town, full of antique shops, art galleries, and boutiques. There are even horse drawn carriage rides and live outdoor music on Friday nights. In fact, Berlin is so charming that two feature length movies were filmed here - Tuck Everlasting and Runaway Bride.

I visited Town Center Antiques, which is a large shop with many different vendors selling eveything you can think of. A few blocks away, was Toy Town Antiques. Toy Town sells vintage toys and it is great! They have a lot of trains and trucks, but they do have a room full of Barbie Dolls too. They also have vintage gumball machines and advertising signs.

I'm just sorry I wasn't in Berlin for their Annual sidewalk sale and the The Famous Berlin Bathtub Races that takes place during Berlin 2nd Friday Art Stroll in July. Maybe next year!
