Only in Alabama do you see tractors for sale at a yardsale…..this was on the way to Sylacauga, which in case you didn’t know it is the birthplace of Gomer Pyle himself, Jim Nabors. That’s just a little tidbit for y’all, free of charge!
Yesterday, I met up once again with Judy, from Gracious Southern Living. We met another Alabama blogger friend, Wanda, who has just opened the cutest antique store.
Just Vintage…come on in for a peek.
Wanda has been working very hard for the last few months getting her shop set up for customers and last weekend was the grand opening. Judy and I decided to pay a visit and give her a little blog support.
She’s done a great job setting things up, making it all look pretty and inviting.
We both fell in love with this blue door, but it’s not for sale. I can see why she’d want to keep it hanging here, it’s so appealing in its chippiness.
Exposed brick in one room is so rustic and a perfect backdrop for antiques.
I loved this little iron base with marble top piece.
I bought a little architectural piece, which I didn’t get a picture of.
And here are the 3 of us, Judy, me, and Wanda. It was really fun to meet Wanda and see her cute shop. I wish her the best with her new business!
This is one of the cute little cottages in town.
We went downtown and shopped in another couple of stores and the above pic was from the store, Mary Lee’s (below).
She has some very cute clothes, as well as antiques for sale in the store. Very unique. Turns out she knows my husband’s first cousin, who is also from Sylacauga, as does Wanda. Wanda graduated from high school with my husband’s two sister cousins.
Inside Mary Lee’s.
She has a thing for rabbits too.
And has lots of her family things in the store as added decoration.
We ate lunch here at the Marble City Grill.
Really cute place.
A chick’s delight of chicken salad and fruit. I ate all mine…Judy ate like a little bird!
And we stopped by another couple of antique stores for some more browsing.
Cute marble topped iron table.
More downtown stores filled with pretty things.
This one had lots of monogram things.
And I just loved this pretty pear plate. Wish you all could go with us sometime. There’s nothing like a day out with the girls!
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I must get to your neck of the woods, someday! What great shopping!
I loved the photo of you ladies, too.
Have a great week.

I loved looking at these pictures. I would’ve been embarrassed to walk around with my camera in a store…but I can tell you had so much fun! How could you resist some of her cute things?
Hi Rhoda
Remember me? I’ve been so bad about blog reading lately…not because I don’t want to read, but because of my crazy life recently. Lots of company, which has been wonderful and then all the medical tests, etc. You’ve been a busy, busy girl. I’ve really enjoyed reading all your posts I’ve missed and seeing all your photos. It looks like you’ve been having some fun. So much eye candy.
Happy Father’s Day to Peter.
Hugs!

Good gravy…it’s been years since I’ve been to Sylacauga! Do you ever stay home???? I love reading about your adventures…inspires me to get out there and check it all out. I’m still trying to get to Vulcan!
I am in love with that green painted furniture…totally gorgeous! What a fun day you guys had…thanks for the preview!
Forgot to say…speaking of Gomer Pyle. My neighbor’s daughter has an old childhood bed of Gomer Pyle’s…they love telling people where it came from.
OOhhhh! Great items!
Hugs and come for a visit!
What a fun day! There is nothing better than spending a day with a bunch of fun chicks, checkin out the shops and enjoying a yummy lunch. I’m gonna call and schedule a girls day with my buds right now!
