Things To Do While Out Antiquing!

It is important to do some other things while out shopping

 for Antiques and Collectibles.

At least it is for us and generally it involves food. 

Not always but food is at the top of the list for us.

I will be listing our favorite places as if entering Lincoln City

 from the North on Highway 101.

Our first stop would be Wildflower Grill.

4250 NE Hwy. 101

541-994-9663

Vicky and Chuck own the restaurant.  They do a great job with food. 

 They also have a charming glassed in dining area 

where you overlook a wonderful small pond.  

You will see all kinds of wild animals and birds.  

A must experience to be sure.

Virtually next door to our business the Little Antique Mall is

Rockfish Bakery Cafe.

The Rockfish Bakery Cafe is just south of our business.

Danelle Lochrie & Ethan Granberg are the owners.

Their bakery and cafe are awesome.  

From the fresh breads to the daily lunch specials you will love it.

They also do a special dinner one night a month.  

Prior reservations only and limited space so book quick 

or you will miss a dinner that is extraordinary!

Heading south on Highway 101 we find another favorite restaurant.

I told you for us it would involve food most times.  LOL

I must admit I have forgotten their names 

and will remember them the moment I post this.

I apologize.

I can tell you this Seafood Market is excellent whether you want fresh

 Dungeness Crab, Salmon, Halibut, Shrimp and many other tasty things. 

A must stop!

Yes we do eat at home.  More so then people think.

The produce is always so fresh and beautiful.

Kenny still is around making sure the store is running correctly.

Andy Morgan, his son, runs the store day to day and does a great job.

Thank you Andy.

Sometimes it is pleasant to find another activity besides eat.

Bijou Theatre

1624 NE Hwy. 101

541-994-8255

The Bijou Theatre is owned by

Keith and Betsy Altomare.

They do a fantastic job entertaining us with films and their knowledge of the films.

75th anniversary of the Bijou Theatre.

Stop in, grab some popcorn and enjoy an entertaining film.

Back to eating now.

Jasmine Thai Restaurant

Great spicy food. 

We like it there a lot and getting food to go is easy here!

 I need to clean up my hair and face on a regular basis.

Sizzor Hands

1221 NW Hwy. 101

541-994-4414

Lori is the gorgeous lady who handles the appointment books.

Making us look grand are:

Cary, Rachelle, Erin or Jeremy.

The four of them are all good looking and captivating!

I love them all.

These hair stylists are first rate.

And on me they work miracles.

Now that I am looking good again I am back on Highway 101 

but I still feel a little tense.

So it is time to head to

Back In Touch Therapeutic Massage

1140 NE Hwy. 101

They do a great job.  Rob is very talented chiropractor and Lori as a very professional Therapeutic Massager.  She has several associates who help keeping the business fully staffed at all times.

Need to relax call Rob and Lori.  It will be taken care of for you.

You got it... I am hungry again.

Kyllo's Seafood and Grill Restaurant

1110 NW 1st Ct.

541-994-3179

Owned by a brother and sister

Craig and Pam Kyllo.

They run a sensational dining room and small bar area.

Literally Kyllo's is on the ocean front.

Magnificent views of waves, people, seals, seagulls and whales.

A little piece of history.  

Craig and Pam let me wait tables 3 or 4 nights a week.

That way I could work our new small shop in the days and earn money at night

to help pay the bills.  It was an instrumental part of our story and I have always been grateful the Kyllo's let me work to give me the income, along with Dan's, to build our dream.

An Antique Shop which grew into the Little Antique Mall today.

I like puttering in the yard and I like planting new flowers or vegetables.

Bear Valley Nursery & Landscaping

2114 SE Hwy. 101

541-996-2327

Scott and his wife do one heck of job.

I love their nursery and I always look forward for a visit to their business.

The first year round Christmas store in Oregon was in Lincoln City.

Established in 1974  it is the

Christmas Cottage

3305 SW Hwy. 101

541-996-2250

Owned by Barb Jenkins the Christmas Cottage is an institution indeed.

You can shop 363 days a year.

It is a very special place to visit and 

find Christmas decorations that also make special gifts.

Check it out.

As we travel south we get to see one of my favorite views along our part 

of the Central Oregon Coast.  It is in the Taft area and is

easily seen from your car.  

An easy place to park and enjoy the view.

I never become bored with this view.

It is dynamic and changing sometimes moment by moment as the Siletz Bay

filled by the Siletz River empties into the Pacific Ocean.

And the Pacific Ocean always gets us in the mood for this.

Whether looking for fishing floats, fun junk, sticks for the dogs to catch or 

just walking quietly we love the beach.

We hope you enjoyed our little blog about some of our favorite places.

I did!
