"G" is for Gift and Glenda

My friend G, whose vintage things I have posted about previously,

gifted me this window made into a wall display.

She is very creative, thoughtful and giving.

It hangs in my kitchen holding a few of my ironstone pieces.

Thank you, again, Glenda 

The Woman At The Well

Please welcome The Woman At The Well to the blog world!

She is also at the stove and is sharing her recipes along with other cooking blogs.  

I think she might share other things as well.  

Maybe I heard a promise of crafts and sewing?

She is my friend from long, long ago.

Yes, high school graduation.

and more Simply Yesterday

Simply Yesterday Antiques and More

Athens, Alabama

This booth has some of everything.

Furniture . . . quilts . . .

kitchen . . . tools . . . communications . . .

I covet the white shelf/hutch.  But, the last time I looked it wasn't for sale :( 

but, I found a similar one at an estate sale this weekend for $22 . . .   :)

I might need to get the green dresser it is sitting on . . .

toys . . . games . . .

knick knacks . . . 

advertising . . .

You might even see a celebrity.

This is Brittany from Alabama Shakes (previous post) with the owner.  Sandra and I ran out of the store like groupies to talk to her.  Sandra knows her family.

Alabama Shakes appeared on Conan this past week.

They are a great group and are already very successful!

Simply Yesterday Antiques and More

Simply Yesterday Antiques and More 

is located on Hwy. 72 in Athens, Alabama.

An assortment of linens

bunnies . . .

A beautiful dress from the 1950s . . . absolutely gorgeous.

and fun hats.

Another bunny . . .

Plates for everyone.

Did I take too many photos of this dress?

And the store owner, Sandra.

Here is one photo from the booth stocked by Sandie of Steadmans' Corner and her parents.  

More photos another day!!

G's Den

More of my friend G's things.

This time we visit her den.  We like a lot of the same things.

Some of it is coincidence and some of it is that we inspire each other.

Many of the things she has displayed belonged to her parents.

She has a great collection of cameras.

Our sons were in Cub Scouts together for years, and her son went on to be an Eagle Scout.

She is still a scout leader even though her son is grown.

G has a large collection of Fisher Price toys.

There are still many photos of her things.  Maybe I'll feature her basement work space next . . . or her Fisher Price toys . . . or her garage . . . or the window she made me . . .

Knit One, Purl Two ?

Is that how it goes?

My grandmother taught me some basic crocheting when I was nine or ten years old, but I have never knitted.  My friend G does knit and has been doing these beautiful hats.  They may not fit the vintage theme, but . . .

aren't they pretty?

Thanks again, G
