Such a beautiful spot! What a fun day with Linda! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us!
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 love your channel. It is so relaxing. 🌷
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!
@@mynewenglandstory and remember flavor straws? They came in chocolate or strawberries!
No, I don't remember those! I think I missed out on something! lol
Loved the video and loved you two together! :)
Funny I was wondering if you and Linda get in trouble together😂Chantilly Lace and Musk by Bonne Belle.
Oh yeah! They also had Kissing Potion roller balls in all of the flavors.....going down Memory Lane for sure.
@@mynewenglandstory yes and Bosco!!!
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.
Thank you for subscribing Robert and Welcome. We moved to New England from Michigan just five years ago and absolutely love it here.
@@mynewenglandstory Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 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 😂
LOL, thank you for taking the time to comment Brenda and enjoy your Sunday!
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!
Hi Gloria, yes, they had that Shampoo in the Store. I was looking for one of my favorites "Agree" but they didn't have that one. Have a great Sunday!
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.
Oh my, I remember using Seabreeze! It's amazing what products we forget about, yet smelling some of them brought back such fun memories.
Carla I loved that store you and Linda were in lot of memories thank you for taking us along from canada
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! 💛🍋💛
Oh how fun that you bought the Lemon Up's! They smelled SO good, I hope you enjoyed them! Have a great week Debbie!
Beautiful scenery, wish I could have gone with you. You and Linda are so lucky to have found each other. Have a wonderful week!😊
Thank you Christine. Yes, we are lucky. Enjoy your Sunday!
Thank you so much for the Matt spraying tip. I’ll be trying it soon.
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..
Thank you Anne Marie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it....have a beautiful Sunday!
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! 😊
Thank you. I hope you can experience New England someday also....it's a very special place.
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!
Thank you! Loved it!
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!
Just the perfect pick me up…joyful…thank you!
Thank you!
I thought the driftwood looked like a Canada Goose in flight. LOL
Yes!
Grab that Back to Basics book! Its great!
Ooooh, thank you!
Thank you Carla for taking us along 😊Boston is really a great place to live and visit
Beautiful!! You captured the essence of Boston. Thank you!
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.🌸
Wow, what great memories you have! I will have to add Regina's to my list....such great food in the North End! Have a wonderful weekend Margaret!
love love Boston..miss living there
I've been to The Old Country Store several times. There is an Antique music box that you pay a dime to hear it and see the characters move.
Oh fun! I'll have to look for that next time.
OH Carla with everything going on in the world this gives me hope that everything is going to be OK ❤🇱🇷🇺🇸
Happy Fourth of July Concetta😊
Beautiful scenery and thanks for the adventure. Could you show us what you eat for lunch in New England? When you are out and about... ❤❤❤
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.
There were several people getting the pickles when I was there. 😀. Happy Fourth of July Susan!
Beautiful scenery!
Thanks for the tour of beautiful historic Boston! I was born in Boston in 1948 and my three siblings were born in Boston as well. Celebrated my 70th birthday at the Top of the Prudential building, the Hub restaurant which closed down during the pandemic. My late parents were married at the Church of the Advent on Beacon Hill in 1939 after my mother who grew up on the Cape went to secretarial school in Boston and worked for famous Judge Brandeis during the 1930s. Both my mother and older sister lived on beautiful historic Beacon Hill before they got married. I love Boston in all the seasons but esp. the Spring! The summers are hot there! An uncle by marriage grew up in Jamaica Plains and was of Albanian ancestry, so I grew up eating moussaka and spanikopeta, a Greek spinach pie, so I love Greek food! But, I wish they hadn't shut down Durgin Park that was there since 1827 that had authentic Yankee New England food! A great place, that was a real tragedy! Hate it when we lose famous old historic landmark restaurants! Thankfully I have a Durgin Park cookbook! Husband and my brother in law graduated from Boston U. My parents first lived on the beautiful Back Bay. Commonwealth Ave. was designed after the boulevards of Paris, so Boston reminds me of London or Paris, and has a very European feel to it! Forebears came here to Boston on my maternal side from the UK, and Scotland in 1721 and fought in the Revolutionary War.♥♥
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing your Story....I truly enjoyed it! I love knowing that the Back Bay was designed after the boulevards in Paris because that is exactly how I felt walking around there. It was so peaceful that day and I didn't want to leave! I will be keeping my eye open for the Durgin Park Cookbook.....if I could be lucky enough to find it at an Estate Sale or used Book Store. Happy Fourth of July Brenda, and again, thank you for sharing!
I really enjoy your tours. ❤️
Lovely Carla!🕊️❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Thacnk you so much for sharing this wonderful day with us. I would love to visit this part of New Hampshire. It is so pretty! Have a great 4th of July!
Happy Fourth Barbara!
Another beautiful place Carla. Thankyou for taking us with you. Have a wonderful week ❤
Thank you! You too!
Been to the lake many times but not the moltonboro store. Think I will be going. Thanks for sharing.😊
So much fun! I felt like I was sitting next to you in the car. The general stores were fantastic. Another great vid. Thanks for taking us along on your trip in NH 🤗👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Betsy!
Carla thank you for taking us along on your day trip so enjoy.able love old towns and the history happy Fourth of July today is our Canada Day
Happy Fourth of July Pat!!
The parks and gardens were so lovely. People are looking after their front gardens so perfectly. The Hydrangeas were amazing the colours so pretty. If I had the opportunity to visit your favourite bookshop there I just wouldn’t ever want to leave. The books and decor is to die for.
I could not believe the colors of those Hydrangeas....just gorgeous. I agree with you, I would love to live at Beacon Hill Books. lol. Have a great week!
Great day out. Thank you for taking us along to explore with you.
Oh that view of the clouds driving down to the lake was amazing! I am always so jealous of how many lovely destinations you seem to have within driving distance. I have always dreamed of living on a lake or in a lakefront town. Its such a slower, easy way of living, The town and water views are so charming. And that grandpa statue in the park with the boy eating ice cream!!!!! Seriously.. how befitting is that. A few of my favorite things when out on a day trip or on vacation..... is foods of all kinds, condiments, treats, and candles! Looks like another wonderful day in the life of Carla!!!! Those toes in that cool water!!!!!
It WAS a very fun day Liane, I wasn't ready to come home. When I did get home I told Mark "I can't believe we live here!" lol. Have a beautiful week Liane!
What fun! Thank you for taking us along with you!💕👍
Hello, Carla. this is where I grew up and lived until my 30's. Family is still there, so I was happy to take this little trip with you. It's a special area.
Oh, lucky you! Rockport is definitely on my list of favorite New England Towns.....definitely a special place.
Lovely video Carla, The Lakes are beautiful, so loved The General Store like going back in time!..☺️
Thank you Jean. It was a fun day!
Another fun and informative video. Thank you for sharing. This beautiful part of New England.🇺🇸
This was so much fun Carla! The view of the lake when you turned the corner was breathtaking. The country store reminded me so much of The Vermont Country Store, which I love! I wanted to let you know that I got my order a couple of days ago. I have tried the ginger cookies, so yummy with a cup of tea. I LOVE the Heavenly Whipped Body Cream. It really does smell like a very light coconut scent and is perfect for the summer! Have a wonderful week! 💗
Oh I'm so happy that you are enjoying your goodies! Thank you for "coming along with me" on my day trip to the Lakes Region of NH.....have a beautiful week!
I really enjoy your videos. I'm from Kansas where there are no tall trees, mountains and nice big lakes. It's always a treat to "ride along".
Thank you!
Your videos are wonderful. Thanks for taking us along.
