Weather is getting nicer and that means getting out an taking a drive. Sometimes long and sometimes short, but one thing you can always depend on is there will be an antiques mall along the way.

Over years of penchants for everything from antique jewelry to looking for that extra special bunny to add to my collection, I love hitting the road with my buddy Gloria to meander through the treasures.

Gloria is a fan of Belfast and I’ve always liked heading to the coast in any direction so we can hit some flea markets too.

Lucky for me is in the Bangor area we have a bunch quite close by and not to brag but the last few times I’ve gone to Hampden I have laid claim to some really great one of a kind antique bunnies that put my little heart all a flutter.

In fact when you need an antique fix close by the Hampden Antique Mall is a great choice. I always find a few mark downs, a few one of a kinds and many a trip down memory lane to my life on the farm.

A little scary that the things I played with as a kid are considered antiques but what the heck, a little patina can look good on all of us.
