Last year, Nikki and Steve Wooster-Goodwin pooled their efforts and opened Sprouts Farm, New Hampshire's pre-eminent architectural salvage firm. Located in Lancaster, Sprouts Farm's enormous barn contains such must-have-them gems as:

• a whole bunch of clawfoot bathtubs
• previously built-in cabinetry and shelving
• pottery crocks, all the way to 30 gallon monsters
• potbelly wood stoves and coal stoves
• pedestal & apron-front sinks
• glass insulators of all types and colors
• enormous piles of books
• blue and other decorative glass
• a wide selection of vintage hardware, including doorknobs, hinges and pulls
• glass lamp shades in too many types and sizes to list
• floor grates, vents and registers in iron and brass
• a constantly-changing stock of furniture
• an extensive range of interior & exterior doors
• more china than you could shake a half-dozen sticks at
• one of the largest stocks of ceramic, wood and metal scottie dogs anywhere

Obviously, should you be anywhere nearby, it would be in your best interest to visit Nikki & Steve. Until you get there, you can take the virtual tour and just pretend. And of course, as always, tell them you read about their shop here on Hewn & Hammered.
