My wife and I and actually the whole family has enjoyed all the items that your store has had to offer. We missed seeing you this year at the Backwoods Festival in Thornville, Ohio this year. I've included a picture of our breadbox that we purchased from you at that Festival a few years back. We look forward to seeing you there again.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI have been shopping Bridgewater Primitives for years! Love it! Lysa carries a great selection of candles, prim furniture (fabulous), prim accessories which I cannot pass up (every season has its special decorative items, too) and beautiful prim/country textiles. Seasonal open houses are wonderful! Bridgewater has such a cozy, friendly atmosphere! The staff is helpful and very friendly♡ I always find something...and, then more when I stop in. Browsers are welcome, too! And, the "house" cat, Primmie (sp) is a treat if you can find her🐈⬛ Even if someone isn't into total primitive decor, there is something there to add to your home's decor!

Review from Google · view on GoogleLove this shop and the owners are the best. Every thing is either old or homemade primitive style. Because it's home made it's as close to one of a kind as you get. Such a fun stop.
