Shop In Carver This Weekend

On the third weekend of every month you can find the small, Minnesota river town of Carver bustling with women on a mission to find reclaimed vintage home decor. This small town, with a population just over 3,000, can be found just southwest of Chaska. But don't let the size fool you. Carver is on the verge of exploding due to it's close proximity to the new Highway 212 and it's quaint downtown right on the river. And it is quickly becoming the hot spot for people on the lookout for old things turned new again.

This weekend, the monthly occasional shops in Carver will open their doors from Thursday to Saturday. Savvy shoppers will show up early on Thursday morning to nab the best finds. Be prepared to stand in line before the doors open at Mustard Moon, located at 300 Broadway Street. With a tag line of "All Things Quaint & Old" you'll be sure to find that perfect piece for your home. Located in the basement of one of Carver's many historical buildings, you'll feel like you're walking back in time with the low ceilings and stone walls. Every inch of the shop is filled with treasures that will tempt you. Upstairs, you will find two other vintage-style shops: Seasons in Carver and The Nature Of It.

Other shops open during the weekend include Carver County Flower & Gifts, Country Cottage of Carver, and Objects & Art. Be sure to stay for lunch at Harvey's Bar and Grill or Lisa's Place. All are are within a few blocks of one another.

For great vintage finds close at hand in the southwest metro, be sure to visit Carver this weekend.
