Robins in the Trundle Bed Welcomes You


Trundle Bed Times

Visit us at Country Mischief




We have been refeathering our nest at Robins in the Trundle Bed and wanted to share our shop with you. Spring has arrived and we have wonderful antique linens, vintage bird houses...and bits of whimsy from seashells to nests.


I dreaded that first Robin, so, But He is mastered, now, I'm some accustomed to/ Him grown, He hurts a little, though/I thought if I could only live/ Till that first Shout got by/Not all Pianos in the Woods /Had power to mangle me /I dared not meet the Daffodils /For fear their Yellow Gown /Would pierce me with a fashion /So foreign to my own/I wished the Grass would hurry/ So when 'twas time to see /He'd be too tall, the tallest one /Could stretch to look at me /I could not bear the /Bees should come, I wished they'd stay away /In those dim countries where they go, /What word had they, for me?/They're here, though; not a creature failed /No Blossom stayed away /In gentle deference to me /The Queen of Calvary /Each one salutes me, as he goes, /And I, my childish Plumes, /Lift, in bereaved acknowledgement /Of their unthinking Drums

The snowdrops nodded their delicate heads as if calling to her...
winter is over, spring is here.

Summer Trundle Bed Ware




Robins in the Trundle Bed is proud to offer for sale these lovely new items. We had a felicitious find last weekend. We discovered this wonderful antique station master's ticket drawer, with original notations above a number of the cubbies referencing destinations. We were immediately enchanted by thoughts of long ago summers and the travelers who bought their tickets from this drawer to travel to Buzzards Bay, Falmouth and Provincetown. To add in our own whimsical touch, we tucked antique lace, buttons and nests with speckled eggs into the compartments.

We also found this enchanting frou frou party dress! The dress features a starched skirt, perfect for twirling.

The last item pictured is an 1899 original photograph of the Swan Boats at Revere Beach. We've included the words "Celebrate" to encourage our customers to take joy in each moment of this season.

Visit us at Country Mischief Plus, 36 Baldwinville Road, Templeton, MA and make your own felicitious finds!
