Cracker Barrell

 Cracker Barrell always has beautiful decorations at Christmas time. Here are some photos from years past.






We went in there today, waited till they were at their lowest occupancy. donned mask and gloves and looked around real quick and left. Did not go in the dining area. And can you believe the trees were all BARE! All the tree decorations had been stripped and sold! I had wanted to run in a grab a few decorations, but no such luck.

You know they sell those iconic rocking chairs, but did you know they also have  the rocking chair windchimes?

They have very unique gift ideas & seasonal items you don't see anywhere else. Love their menu too.

Ann said...

WOW, they sold all the decorations already? That's crazy. I always love browsing through the gift shop. Their food is pretty good too although there is one location here that is way better than the other.

I love the Cracker Barrel stores, especially at Christmas. My youngest son loves it so much that he took a second job there for years during the holiday season.

I hadn't seen the rocking chair wind chimes. We always take time to look around the store when we're at Cracker Barrel.

I love the Green Glass tree and that would be pretty on my Nook. When I used to go eat there I always love to wander around in the store and look at all the beautiful things but I never bought anything. They do have lots and lots of beautiful things

I LOVE CRACKER BARREL - in fact I am meeting my friend there tomorrow for lunch. I could go broke!

Dumb Swede, me! I always thought Cracker Barrel was a cereal. Now I understand it's a restaurant. Ginny, you really made me laugh this morning.

Beautiful Christmas photos from years past! There is Cracker Barrell on my way home from work and I enjoy checking out their store. But never noticed the rocking chair windchime! That is so cute!

Cracker Barrel always does such a good job in the decoration and merchandise department. A bunch of us went for dinner at a CB in our neighborhood last Tuesday. We don't wear masks or gloves (except the kind to keep our hands warm, which we needed that night because it was truly cold outside), and the trees in the store were practically groaning with ornaments, most of which were on sale buy three, get one free. I didn't buy any (because I'd bought a few earlier in the season), but I did score a Christmas gift! I also got a salt and pepper shaker of a red truck with a Christmas tree in the back. The tree is the salt (I think) while the truck is the pepper. Or the other way around. But I don't load them up with spices. I just put it out as something cute to look at. So festive and inexpensive! What would we do without Cracker Barrel? xoxo

WOW! The Pres and I used to go to Cracker Barrels all the time when we drove to and from VA to CT. We loved them...their food is so good and yes, they always had THE BEST things for decoration ideas!!...jp

I have to put blinders on whenever we go to Cracker Barrell because they have such beautiful stuff I want to buy out the store! Next time I'm at one I'm going to look for that rocking chair wind chime though! So cute!

We don’t have Cracker Barrel around here, so I have only been in one such place, in Nashville. i could have left a lot of money there, but since I was flying home, I had to be careful.

Mari said...

I can't believe they have stripped their trees!
It really is a fun place to shop.

NanaDiana said...

Ginny- That anonymous comment is wonderful...and SO true! lol. I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in ages- we don't have any near us at all. xo Diana

Thank you for letting me browse through Cracker Barrel with you. I always loved browsing around them but don't see any until we go on our road trips. Great quote! A good addition would be "and when he has to put all the GI Joe toys together. That was his job when our son was little.

Sunday Sunset

 I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...
