GO GREEN

Go Green
at the
Checker Berry Shoppe

What better way to "Go Green" in 2010 than filling your home, office, apartment, dorm room, rental property, personal collection and gift lists with antiques, collectibles, crafts (locally made primarily from recycled materials), many other products made with all natural materials, revamped and repainted furniture, historical items and many other interesting finds. 

The perfect place for these items is:
THE CHECKER BERRY SHOPPE
Bowdon's Antique Mall
Located at 129-131 W. College St., Bowdon, Ga 30108
We are open 6 days a week
Mon.-Sat.  10:00am - 6:00pm

We have booths for rent, layaway for our customers and always friendly service.  Come in for a visit, enjoy an incredible shopping experience, and "Go Green".

We are proud to be a part of, and are supporting the effort to keep our planet, our country and our community "Green".

Victorian Day Bed

This Victorian Day Bed is simply stunning.  It can be used as a child's bed, a lovely place for guests to sit or just as decoration.  Add the decorative mirror to really set it off!




Sherry and her daughter Sierra, love shopping at Checker Berry.  There's always something fun instore.  They love the selection of quilts and vintage clothing.



We have  a charming 3 piece bedroom set in Shabby Chic.  Add the small bench, and you're all set.

Sierra is modeling this clawfoot bathtub
done in a vibrant red. 


A lovely 20 piece place setting with delicate roses.


We had a great turnout for Bowdon's Daddy-Daughter Dance February 13th.  The girls were beautiful in their fancy dresses and had a wonderful time with their daddy's.  Don't forget to mark your calendar for next year for this annual event.
