A New Shop In Town

Good evening everyone.  Hope you all have had a great day and are safe from the storms. I have been having some issues with the nursing facility where Mother is , so got out today to go check some things out.  Luckily things were okay and I found Mother doing as well as could be expected.  Saw a few faint smiles, just enough to keep me going. 

Was coming back thru town and noticed we had a new store that had opened.  Made a quick detour around the square and back to check out the store.  NO... not a primitive store, I couldn't be that lucky but a really neat shop.  The name is even catchy, "Grannie Frannie's" Walking in the door we were greeted with a friendly hello and were given an old timey "funeral fan".  We always called them a "church fan", because the funeral homes would donate them to churches when I was little.  Let me tell you I have sat in Long..Long church services in the summer and used one of these faithfully, till I thought my arm would fall off. Tells how old I am, huh?  No, back then air conditioned churches were very rare.

On the back was the store's information and a discount for the grand opening.  Thought that was a neat  way to advertise.  And it was a great way to break the ice and start up a conversation.

I was very impressed with the items they had in the store.  I couldn't leave without a few things, but will definitely check by there often.

This little wooden box reminds me of the old berry crates.  Will probably make a display inside but may use it for flowers.  Will show what I do with it later.

Love this lamp shade.  It will be stenciled and will find a home on the porch on my lamp for a warm glow on  a warm summer night.  That is if we ever stop with all the storms, Huh!

Just started collecting the old whisk brooms.  Around here you can hardly ever find them.  This was way down in an old box.  I almost squealed when I found it.

Loved this old twig handle basket.  Will have to get the perfect plant for it, but for now this will do.

Don't like the pot showing but when I get the right plant won't this be cute out on the porch?  I was so happy to find this great little store.  Our little downtown area does not have many neat places to shop.  Hope this one will be around for awhile.

Back to Holly's house and she had bought a box of old bottles at a yard sale.  She shared with me.  This was my favorite. Don't know what I will do with it, but I love bottles that are this color.

Today was a great day having lunch out and then going junkin.  Hope all of you had a great day and are safe from all the storms. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon , you hear?
