Do you have a favorite shop or store that you like to go to every year to get your Christmas Inspiration????
Well, Country Folks in Nescopeck, Pa. is where I LOVE to go to get me in the mood for Christmas Decorating! Click HERE to visit their Web Site!
Today I went with my dear friend Ann Marie and it was like we walked into Christmas Heaven!
We spent 2 hours there and what a fantastic time we had. I took 129 pictures!!! Can you believe it??
That is why this is going to be Part 1 of your tour of Country Folks!
Country Folks is a 3 story Barn that has been converted into a magnificent home Decor Store. It is located on a Family Farm.
The old Farm house has been converted into a Display House that is completely furnished and decorated for every Holiday and Season!
Our tour today will be of the first floor.
When we walked in the door we were greeted by this lovely Nativity Scene.
And isn't this adorable???
Country Folk sells furniture, curtains, lamps and rugs so the entire store is set up and decorated in vignettes.
What a great idea placing the snowmen in those large jars!!
This was the first tree that greeted us!
And the second one!
Don't you just love this idea??? The "candy" is a garland!!
Another wonderful cupboard display!
I love those trees on the left side. I think one or two would look great in my kitchen!
They carry Byer's Choice Carolers and accessories and boost one of the largest selections in our area.
And Boyd's Bears....
I adore this sweet vignette!!
Love the Boyd's Bear tree!!
The sign "Believe " is another one of my favorites!
More Byer's Choice!
These Ginger Bread Houses are to Die for!!
A wide range of Polish Pottery is also available...
And the table is all set...
This is in the Vera Bradley Room. A Beautiful Stone Fireplace!
A North Woods Themed tree....
This is a table cloth that was draped over the railing going up the stairs to the second floor.
Gorgeous!

Love ya and see you later,,lol so I can leisurely look at this post in more detail
Hi Debbie, Oh I love your Christmas blog and the tour part one is fabulous. What an inspiration for me as I am just about to go off to the studio for a Christmas painting day. I love all your pics. I could spend hours taking in each and every detail. Love the cobalt blue table with the polish pottery. Oh that dining table would be perfect in my cottage!! I can see you had a wonderful time. Wish I was there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful Christmas inspiration. I have to go back and view it all again. I am a happy follower now too!
What a fun place to visit, Debbie. I could have spent all day there looking at the beautiful carolers and various vignettes. Thanks for the tour....Christine
My sister would think she had died and gone to heaven for sure to visit a place like this. She is really big on Christmas. In fact, she laves her snowmen collection out all year. This is another one of your great holiiday features.
Hi Debbie ~ I CAN see why you took so many photos ... Country Folks is an unbelievable place to visit and looks like a true delight! Just your photos & your music is getting me into the spirit of the season! Thanks for sharing your wonderful day with us and I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures! ~Hugs~
Wow! A whole blog dedicated to Christmas! I've been saying I couldn't think of Christmas yet but I think you've officially got me in the mood. I can see why you spent all those hours in that store. Lovely!
I cannot pick a favorite picture, but your post certainly will put lots of us into the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. My favorite place to visit is Nell Hills in Atchison, KS to find the most inspiring pieces. I'm getting my stuff all out in the next week. Love all the pics. Ann
Hi Debbie :) What an incredible place! My goodness, there is soooo much for the eye to take in, that it's going to take a few minutes on each photo to see it all :)
With all the xmas stockings that I have been making it's really getting me in the mood to decorate for Christmas; but, I don't do that until the day after Thanksgiving. I have so much fun putting my 2 trees up and getting out all the pretty decorations...I have a pink tabletop tree that goes in our Living Room, and a regular size tree that I put in the Dining Room.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and upcoming weekend!
Oh, what fun to browse through that store! I would not be able to leave empty- handed! So many gorgeous displays and goodies and I love hearing the TSO in the background. Wish I could go this Sunday and see them too! What a great post, Debbie! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the show this weekend.
What a wonderful visit! Your blogs always bring a smile to my face. I love the barn where the store is located and the Christmas treasures are lovely. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place-I can't wait to see more!

Okay, seeing the 44 days til Christmas sort of freaked me out, I'm so behind this year! I looove the shop it's fabulous, I can hardly wait to see your home all bedecked!!!
