During this event there are participating shops and you are given a card to have stamped at each vendor and then you are entered in a drawing for gift baskets and cards once you have visited 10 shops.

There is public and street parking close to Blackbird Nest and the other shops I wanted to visit. As I entered Blackbird Nest I received a pleasant greeting. The Blackbird Nest specializes in redesigned modern, antique and vintage furniture along with home decor, lamps, new clothing, bath and body products, prints, florals and wreaths plus holiday decor. The shop has several smaller rooms with various items incorporated throughout but items are organized well and prices are clearly marked. I liked seeing furniture, clothing, home and holiday decor all tastefully arranged together in each space. The store has a few narrow isleway's but most are spacious enough to browse comfortably down. They do have a dressing room to try on clothing you are interested in. If you're in Franklin make time to visit Blackbird Nest. Terrific location for gifts, clothing and unique furniture.

At the very least, it's a fun romp through a bit of local history, and at the most, it's a perfect place to frequent in search of that one piece your home is looking for. My wife and I make this a regular date day trip. Any time we have some time off, we'll stop by and peruse. We've only bought something two or three times, but each time it was an absolute steal. That's not to say everything is cheap. There are plenty of traps that are looking to sell you junk at a premium, but that's to be expected at any flea market. if you're familiar with flea markets and co-op sales like this, you'll have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is one of the good. It's clean, it doesn't have any lingering smells. The stalls are well laid out, not messy, and not cramped. The staff is always in a good mood, the stall proprietors are often there and willing to chat, and when you're done, you can stop off at any number of little restaurants in the same shopping area. I've been coming here since dating my wife, and we'll keep coming back as long as we're nearby. I'm definitely a fan.

It did seem a little more pricey than some of the others on Jefferson Street but the items all looked too be of good quality. I still found something that I wanted in the shop. I get hot easy and I love the little hand fans that fold down and you can carry on your purse. They are not that easy to find for some reason. At least the good quality metal ones not plastic. They also had a nice wooden one. I look forward to seeing what they have in their shop next year.

The prices were on the high side, so I reluctantly left empty handed. I parked on about a block north and walked as there was no nearby parking.

Some recipes I will try and some there was absolutely no way I would try lol. The gal that runs this shop is always so friendly and seems to get joy from speaking to every person who comes in.

They take a lot of pride in their work which I think is the most important thing when it comes to finding a great refinisher.
