You are a brave woman taking those little ones into antique store. Glad your husband came with you. Thanks for the video.

[@cherylathas4161]

Andrea, thank you so much for posting the video at Bronner's! My family is originally from Bay City, Michigan & my Dad knew Wally when he was young. Many years later when my family visited Frankenmuth Wally gave our family the red carpet tour at the store & made us feel so special. He was the most humble, giving & kind man! Every day he either wore a green or red blazer to work. So glad to see the spirit hasn't changed. There is a photo of Wally in your first clip when you walk into the store, as you pan high towards the ceiling. Fond memories! Thank you again for sharing!

Hello from Bay City!

[@margareteraab3899]

I've been going to Bronners for 60 years. Luckily I live nearby again. Just was there two weeks ago buying things for my Christmas villages. Thanks for showing the world our fabulous store.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Of course, I loved sharing it! ❤

[@pamelairvin3164]

You are blessed to have seasons, snow, and Bronner's!!!!!! We have warm, warmer, and moments of fall.

[@PineandProspectHome]

I wouldn't mind the warm in January and February haha! But I do love snow at Christmas ❤ Merry Christmas!

[@Melody-285]

I like to look at pictures of snow, but I’m pretty happy here in Florida (as my a/c just clicked on) - LOL

[@rinav6095]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. What a delightful outing you shared with us. So thankful for Jesus, the best gift ever!💝

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, Merry Christmas to you as well! 🥰

[@juanadennis1444]

2 hour road trip to Frankenmuth this past Sunday. It was a beautiful, windy day. Usually go to Bronner's in the summer. Crazy busy at this time of year but we enjoyed it.

[@deannaworm2365]

I have to say that with that little scoop that cost $89 I made the same woof sound that you did at the same time!!! I love going shopping with you, thanks for taking us along.

[@margeburke5599]

I live near by....this time of year everyday is like that. Off season is the only time we go. Beautiful to see...beautiful town too. Almost to Birch Run on the same road are several antique shops.

[@robcurranphotography]

Iron Gate Emporium is my favorite.

[@bethmann3283]

We love going to Bronners! My first time I was about 3, early 70's, Santa's looked a little scary back then, and it showed on my face, lol.

[@cjenkins8785]

Wishing you peace and blessings this Christmas.

[@lorieb4789]

Such a sweet trip. Made me laugh when you're boys were asking, "can we buy it, can we buy it." Enjoyed the ending showing your found treasures in your home. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelagay3303]

I lived in Michigan for 20 years. Raised our son and daughter there. Son is age 49 and daughter is age 42. Bronners use to be much smaller. Then about 25 years or so they enlarged the store. They are even busy in the summer.

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏻

[@irmayorke9075]

What a wonderful trip you and your family had. That place is amazing.

[@marge3157]

And I thought Leavenworth Washington was the cats meow. Loved the antique store.😍

[@d.dorough]

What a wonderful Christmasy day trip - and I got to go along!! Thank you so much for the tour and the window shopping adventure. So appreciated! Merry Christmas to you and your family and blessings in the New Year! 🎄🎶❄🙏🎉

[@sharonjackson9994]

So sweet the family went together! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Blessings for a peaceful Christmas and bright New Year!!

[@cherricoles3457]

Once you cook with cast iron, no other pan will measure up. Everything tastes better on cast iron. I keep my pans on my stove and ready for every meal

[@tammyallen458]

What neat places to visit! I adore places like that! Glad you got to go as a family!

[@karenn993]

Your little ones were so interested in everything!

[@dlfaith]

Thank you and family, Merry Christmas

[@brendakersulov1152]

Very cute video. Nice to see all your little ones. I remember taking my four children to the store. Husband not along for the ride. It can be challenging for sure. Glad to see your husband there to enjoy the family event. Merry Christmas!!

[@tinamenard4365]

Bronners is my Happy place. I love Frankenmuth. Thank you for sharing your trip 🎄

[@bobbietheeveningstitcher6841]

My daughter, grand daughter, and I were just there last Friday! So much fun!! But it was crowded on Friday as well! Glad you had fun...it is a great store!

[@PineandProspectHome]

It is such a great store, they are always busy this time of year, but we had such a fun day ❤

[@karellarsen939]

Looks like you had fun with your family! Great place to go. I like what you brought home ❤️

[@Living_Your_Best_For_Less]

You are so brave letting the kids touch everything. I was holding my breath the whole time. haha! Hopefully no expensive causalities had to be purchased. Merry Christmas to you all!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

They didn't thankfully! Merry Christmas to you as well! ❤

[@marybollinger8668]

Bronners has everything Christmas you could imagine but it is totally overwhelming.

[@PineandProspectHome]

It can be, we just took our time and enjoyed it ❤

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Oh my gosh, it’s like Christmas heaven! Looks like such a neat place.

[@janmyers2187]

So fun to see you in Frankenmuth and Bronners I worked at Bronners for 25 years. I enjoy all your videos.

[@vivaciousgal8708]

I believe the wooden handle wire pieces are rug/quilt beaters...used to clean and beat a rug/quilt outside.😊

[@PhilokaliaPhotography]

They look a lot like those! But those have long handles. These ones are Danish dough whisks. Lots of bakeries use them :)

[@LanetteHaskins]

I've lived in Michigan my entire life and have never been to Bronners! Looks like fun and needs to be a day trip for us next year!

[@theflossi56]

Yeah I live near birch run and rarely go to Bronners. I collect Dept 56 and snowmen I should go there 😀

[@valjohnson5835]

Your children are adorable 🥰 what a fun day. Merry Christmas!

[@monikavosswilliams5023]

Brought back many memories and so glad you all got to make some too.

[@julijopeterson7096]

OMGosh! Those ice skates you came home w/in the end that were on your coffee table are just! the best! They were SO old!

[@nancyparmelee4161]

I don’t think they are that old. I had a pair of them as a kid in the 50s. They are quite easy to find. I just turned 70 so maybe that’s old for some people but they were still selling them in the 80s when my kids were little . They are the worst things to put on kids learning to skate because they just slide around and never teach kids how to use the edge of a blade. The really coveted old skates are the single blade strap on skates from Victorian times. They are harder to find and more expensive, but all old skates make great winter decor items. It’s so sad that I never see kids on ponds or lakes anymore skating. When my kids were young and when I was growing up it was the first thing we did after school when we got home. Grab our skates and walk to the pond to meet our friends, sometimes bringing our own shovels if our town hadn’t cleared it yet. We stayed till almost dark and walked home together for supper.

[@carolyost6733]

Ive been to Bronners once in my life. FRANKENMUTH IS A UNIQUE PLACE TO VISIT. Did each boy get to pick out an ornament? Your boys are so behaved. Love going antiquing with you. Your husband seems very patient. Even spots out things you might like while antiquing. He's a keeper!

[@cindyanderson8509]

Amazing trip video. Love what you purchased!🎄🥰

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much Cindy! 🥰

[@lauriehume3395]

Love Frankenmuth ❤

[@PineandProspectHome]

Me too, such a fun place!

[@sherrykahn2474]

Looks like you and your beautiful family had a fun day!!!Have a very "Merry Chrustmas!"😁

[@donnaryan6711]

Would have loved to be in that Antique shop, great finds. Bravo for taking your children. As my love for all things old and Antique, I took my boys with me at a young age as well, let them look and with a watchful eye " touch" and they learned to appreciate these items that are not massed produced. Hence as Adults they have collections of their own. So thanks for the tour! I am a fairly new follower to your channel, but love your Family dynamic. Boys rule! Merry Christmas🎁🎄🎅

[@thesewinggarden7311]

I loved this video! I’ve never seen such an incredible store! And the town looks so adorable and quaint. I hope I get to go there someday. Thanks for sharing! Also, I learned how to ice skate on skates just like those! I strapped them into my shoes and I loved the 4 blades. Made learning a breeze!

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

What a dreamy store, to shop in.🎄🥰😍

[@PineandProspectHome]

It was so so much fun! There is SO much to look at! ❤

[@mandyshelata5554]

Nice things you got at that antique store! Looks like y’all had a fun day! Merry Christmas !🎁

[@PineandProspectHome]

We really did, Merry Christmas!!

[@adriennedavis9006]

Wow!!!!! That IS BIG ! How fun ! Merry Christmas to you and the family! May God bless you in the new year 🎁❤️🎉

[@PineandProspectHome]

It is so big! You need to plan for some time if you plan to visit so you get to look at everything! Merry Christmas! ❤

[@rachellebrooke4614]

My family from Ohio and Michigan love Frankenmuth! My mom, aunts and grandmothers love it! I’ve never been but hopefully one day! That antique store was wonderful too! Thanks for sharing!

[@PineandProspectHome]

It is such a fun place! I hope you and your family are able to visit soon! I know you would love it as much as we do🥰

[@rachellebrooke4614]

@@PineandProspectHome thank you! I know I would! We were in Ohio this fall visiting my parents but didn’t think to go. We’re heading back to California in our RV now, but maybe another year! Thanks for sharing!

[@lauriethompson7878]

Bronners is amazing. We took all our children and 1 grandchild there at Thanksgiving. Loved it and the chicken dinner at Zehnders

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, it is such a fun place!

[@melindalabombard804]

I've been so far behind and watching my videos and what to my surprise when I seen you posted today a trip to Bronner's I so miss going to Bronner's I will have to go when I come up in June looks like there was fun for the kids have a Merry Christmas

[@janetmichigander]

Thank you for taking me into Bronner's! I haven't been in years. I love the little German town, Frankenmuth. My family and I would go every year in September. So much fun!! Love the antique store too. So much to see.

[@monikavosswilliams5023]

Been to Bronners many times what an amazing place, glad you all enjoyed. Love love Frankenmuth.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, we love it so much too! ❤

[@tammyr6669]

Such fun family time! 🎄 🎅

[@PineandProspectHome]

It really was! ❤❤

[@cindyclark9534]

Before I moved to Freeland I lived 12 minutes from Bronners. Frankenmuth is a great little town! If you can't find something at Bronners it doesn't exist! Enjoy your visit and I can highly recommend Zehnders for the best chicken dinner ever!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Haha I haven't heard that before, but it is so true! They have everything! ❤

[@jenabunch3647]

I've never seen a store like it! Thanks so much for sharing your day with us!! I'd love to shop there once!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

It is such a fun experience, the entire town of Frankenmuth has so much to offer! ❤

[@jaynebrown693]

Andrea the trip to that Christmas Shop was amazing…BUT that Vintage Shop was incredible !! LOL!!!! That makes me excited like your boys at the Christmas Shop ! Happy 🥰 If you do not get a video out next week…. My prayers for a BLESSED , BLESSED CHRISTMAS with your little men and family ! Hugs sweet lady ! ❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh my goodness, thank you Janet! Merry Christmas! ❤

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

I love Bronners! It is so magical! We have a cabin in Northern Michigan and I love to visit Frankenmuth, we were there in August. That antique store was incredible, I wouldn't have been able to hold onto my money. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

[@jeanieturner5183]

Thanks for sharing. It is amazing.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Of course, it is such an incredible place! ❤

[@tammyevans7333]

Awesome, Merry Christmas

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you Tammy! You too! ❤❤

[@robcurranphotography]

You went to Bronners on a Saturday in December??!!?! Lol that’s a June or July trip! I’m actually in Bay City so I know it well. 😊

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes haha, trust me I realize how crazy it was but we made the best of it!

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Bronners looks overwhelming!

[@PineandProspectHome]

They have so much, but if you can go, I would say go on a weekday! It is such a fun experience! ❤

[@iraidamanda3465]

Love it there!!!

[@iraidamanda3465]

I’ve been there numerous time and I’m from Ohio 🤣🤣

[@PineandProspectHome]

Such a special place, isn't it? ❤

[@trinaroe5132]

It’s been too long since I’ve been to Frankenmuth! But it is always crowded this time of year. I’ve been thinking of going during the week since I’m retired, but THIS close to Christmas I’m sure weekdays are crowded too. My favorite time to go is in Jan or Feb. They don’t have as many after Christmas sales as some stores since they’re Christmas year round, but I’ve sometimes found a few bargains. The other favorite time to go to avoid crowds is in the spring just after the temperature starts to warm up. People just don’t think about going then. I’ll have to look for antique stores when I go! Rau’s Country Store is a favorite store of mine besides Bronner’s and the two main restaurants with all their shops.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, off season would definitely be a lot different! We usually go in November, I love going every year!

[@chedderbug2820]

Fun!! Also the home of the great.,.. Greta Van Fleet! 💜

[@smoothsailingmp]

A number of things you were looking at in the antique store, we're not antique. I've been watching some shows where people take brand new wood and carve handles to look pre-dawn , etc and/or 1800"s put a number of coats of stain on them, hit chains on them and wellah...an antique.....be careful....they do it with frames, paintings, cutting boards , rocking chairs, etc. I"m 78.....and have been in many antique stores.... believe be careful

[@theflossi56]

So close and we rarely go isn’t that odd

[@tulabead]

That antique store was amazing. What was the name please.

[@maryoleary2037]

Not sure when this video was shot, but people everywhere are walking about with no masks. Don't mean to preach, but this Omicron variant is so contagious and even people who are double vaccinated are getting it. Stay safe and Merry Christmas!

[@DH-qz2so]

Our province just got word that starting this Sunday, we are back (Canada) to restrictions and rules... no Christmas gatherings, again, this year due to Omicron....sigh...so sad....

[@marge3157]

🤦‍♀️

[@thesewinggarden7311]

@ Mary O’Leary Yes, it’s contagious, but no deaths with this variant, even in Africa where it started. My family and I have it now. It’s not fun but not as bad as other colds I’ve had. No sense trying to protect ourselves from a bad cold. No need being fearful. Trust the Lord. He made us to have incredible immune systems. Let’s all get this (unless you have serious medical issues) and get it over with once and for all!

[@mandyherrington6329]

What was the name of the antique store? I live in the area but don't remember being to that particular one before. Please let me know where it was located and the name. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@sandrahamlet1660]

I was wondering if you believe in the rapture of the church? I KNOW I DO AND I truly think it is about to happen.

[@gorgo1945]

Thank you for your lovely video today and the Christmas shop - but - you may wish to rethink the choice and volume of the music. It was so loud and irritating. xx

[@cinnzimm6778]

May I recommend you slow down your camera pans, very easy to cause your viewers to feel seasick going that fast. And your sound mix was unbalanced with the carols too loud by far. I was anticipating a great shopping video in light of your others but this was very difficult to watch and disappointing

[@kerryborst8764]

We live just north of Clarkston, we go to Bronners a couple of times a year. Such a magical place! Dinner at Zhenders of course!
