Back at 11 years old, you could find me vending at Batsto’s Country Living Fair alongside my mom and her craft business! DM Weeks | Contemporary Artist and I were thrilled to dress in Victorian clothing to promote her wedding albums 🤣

Fast forward to today, and the truck is packed full of vintage and antique ‘Finds in the Pines’. We’ll be set up tomorrow, October 18 Historic Batsto Village with a mix of treasures, ephemera, and history. 

I also have something extra special for the show (shippable for my nature lovers afar)! These gorgeous salvaged wooden sailboat leeboards + vintage window art pieces hand-painted exclusively for us by shannon hope♡

Come say hi and check out the treasures!

For the past six months, my main focus has been taking care of my neighbor Jim’s estate and his animals. I’ve been sorting through and clearing out 2 dwellings and 5 outbuildings. The Junna’s called this Sweetwater property home since 1963, and as skilled tradesman and antique collectors; the property contents are vast!

We have lots of ideas for the property, but for now, our focus is to find new homes for a lifetime of wonderful vintage camp/outdoor gear, wooden crates and boxes, furniture, BOOKS, TOOLS, military memorabilia, and antiques collected across generations.

If you love a GOOD estate sale:

📆 Sat Oct 10 (8 AM–3 PM) & Sun Oct 11 (8 AM–12 PM)

What an incredible weekend in the Pine Barrens!

It was so special to connect with new folks and catch up with familiar faces, family, and friends! As a proud sponsor of Pine Barren Makers Fest through Mullica River Cottages, we were thrilled to be out in the community sharing stories and talking about our vacation cottages on the Mullica River.

I am also deeply grateful to everyone who showed up and bought vintage treasures from my late neighbor Jim’s estate. Thank you for shopping vintage and giving his collections a new home! Thanks to your support, we were able to donate $460 of our sales to Fawns Fortress , a local sanctuary that adopted one of Jim’s sweet kitties. 

Participating and vending this event was surreal and so much fun. Doing this event right next to my sister, Lauren, Pine Barrens Post | Lauren was the icing on the cake! We grew up across the street and spent countless hours playing jailbreak in this exact festival field. We received a special lemonade delivery from Peyton (Felicia Allebach Lisitski ) that made Sunday a little more sweet!

Thank you to Justin for lugging all these treasures here and back for me and playing cashier. It was his first time doing anything like this and I think we’ll keep him! 😘

Lastly, a huge thank you to Carlina and Patrick for putting on such a top notch event!

Introducing Vintage Finds in the Pines, a small passion project born out of a really heavy loss.

Anyone who has stayed at the cottages knows how much I love old things. The walls and rooms feature vintage pieces that carry memories and stories from decade’s past. There is so much joy and beauty in saving items with history, keeping them out of landfills, and giving them a [new] home.

When my neighbor Jim passed away, he left behind an incredible lifetime collection. Jim was a 2nd generation true local collector with an amazing eye for Pine Barrens history, vintage hardware, quirky trinkets, and unique artifacts. He would be so pleased to know I am finishing what he couldn’t and his collection will have renewed life with antique and vintage lovers alike.

Swipe through for a peek at a SMALL sample! My first pop up will be Pine Barren Makers Fest Sept 19 + 20. Find me next to Pine Barrens Post | Lauren

I am still searching for the perfect veteran related Charity to donate a portion of proceeds to. If you know of any organizations that focus on assisting veterans with mental illness, please drop a tag.

Shoutout and gratitude to shannon hope♡ for her artistic talent in creating this hand drawn graphic! Keep real art alive!

This one’s for you, Jim.

Jim was my neighbor and friend. We talked just about every day when I would pass by his house on my walks with Charlie. He always told me Charlie was the best looking dog he ever saw. Jim would tell me stories about local wildlife and what Sweetwater was like “back then”. Jim had a soft spot for animals, especially cats, and over the years trapped, spayed, and released dozens of kitties.
Behind his familiar presence, daily waves, and conversations, Jim carried a heavy burden. In April, he died by su***de. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the silent battles so many face, particularly senior adults and veterans navigating the heavy weight of isolation, trauma, TECHNOLOGY, and the transition of years. Jim was inundated with paperwork, logins, and portals. The quiet struggles of our seniors and former service members too often go unseen in tight-knit communities like ours. By speaking openly about Jim’s death, I want his story to matter, to break the silence, to encourage others to check in on the neighbors and veterans living down the road, and to remind anyone struggling that they do not have to carry their pain alone. 🤍

Rest easy Jim. Your kitties, treasures, and land will be tended to with love and compassion. 🫶🏼

If you were stuck inside watching the rain all through Memorial Day weekend, this is your do-over.
The weather forecast for Sweetwater this weekend is flawless. The kind of weather that’s perfect for adventuring or paddling during the day and relaxing by a riverside fire in the evening. We are mid-70s and sunny all three days. By some absolute miracle, we have a last-minute opening (BOTH COTTAGES 😎), leaving a single open gap in our otherwise fully booked summer calendar. This Friday through Sunday is the only weekend available for either cottage until August.
Bring your favorite four-legged copilot; because we are completely dog-friendly and your dog deserves a vacation too. Even better.. you don’t have to haul any gear. We provide the kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards so you can get right out on the water.

If you want to spend your weekend paddling in the Pines instead of sitting in shore traffic, click the link in our bio to grab the dates. See you on the water!

It’s true what they say.

Right now, the gardens at Mullica River Cottages are getting plenty of sky juice (aka rain!) and preparing for a May full of blooms. Just imagine trading the rain for this spot!

Here, a spectacular, massive waterfall of Clematis winds itself right around our 20x20 platform dock, situated directly on the Mullica River. This is where you’ll want to be / the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee, find your center with a quiet Pilates stretch, or drift off for an afternoon nap. All while surrounded by this serene scent and view. Our May (and beyond) cottage booking calendars are open and available for reservations.
