Vacation isn’t just a time to get away — it’s a time to treat yourself. Garrett County is the perfect place to do just that: our towns offer plentiful boutiques, country stores, antiques markets and so many other destinations where you’re sure to make the perfect find.
What’s a vacation without a good book? You’ll never have to find out
if you stop by Book Mark’et & Antique Mezzanine (facebook.com/ thebookmrkt/?rf=167668290263503), with its wide selection of current and backlist titles that will have you browsing for hours. While you’re in downtown Oakland, stop by Oakland Mercantile (oaklandmercantile. com), with its selection of souvenirs, candles and artisan wares, or Englander’s Antiques-Grill and Soda Fountain (facebook.com/ englanders-antiques-grill-and-soda-fountain-113431527065648),
to indulge your antiquing habits while sipping on an old-fashioned milkshake.
Speaking of treating yourself, how about a wardrobe update? Rudy’s Clothing (rudysclothing.com) in Oakland features specialty clothing brands for work or play, along with accessories from Brighton and Vera Bradley. There is also a wide range of footwear for all occasions and weathers. Cashmere Clothing Co. (cashmereclothingco.net) in McHenry specializes in women’s clothing, from casual to business, in sizes small to 3X.
Are you a quilter — or an aspiring one? Four Seasons Stitchery (4seasonsstitchery.com) in Grantsville has nearly 1,500 bolts of quilting fabrics in every imaginable color and print.
If you’re shopping for gifts, we recommend stopping at Deep Creek’s newest boutique, A Mountain Fix (amountainfix.com) or the longtime favorite Blue Moon Antiques (bluemoonantiques.com), which tempts shoppers with 6,000 square feet of treasures in a renovated 1875 general store. At Bear Creek Traders (bearcreektraders.com) in the Market Square Shopping Center in McHenry, you’ll find a large selection of Deep Creek Lake shirts, hats and mugs, plus sweaters, kitchenware, crafts, toys, collectibles and more. Shawnee Trading Post (shawneetp.com) in Deer Park is another great stop for crafts and souvenirs.
Garrett County is also the ideal destination for anyone looking to acquire well-crafted furniture. Find the perfect piece at Grand Central Home Furnishings (grandcentralhomefurnishings.com), which has
