The old rusty bike is a permanent stay.
It's basket is filled with all kinds of goodies
depending on the season.
 
 
The owners, Neil and Penny Pittman
have a love affair with antiques.
They love auctions and are especially fond of
old pottery.
They have a special way of displaying small town
history inside the store.
 
My friend, Olive of Olive Out photographed and blogged about
 The Pittman's Sleigh last Christmas.
 
They have a catering business, as well and
are famous in our neck of the woods.
Even Honey Boo-Boo showed up one Saturday. 
 
In our Hometown we always say,
"Merry Christmas."

Find this plate at Geo. Quarters
along with other great Christmas gifts.
 
Today I purchased "A Dog Named Munson"
and a Mint Spruce Bean Pod candle.
 
My home smells like Christmas.

  1. Bonnie the menu sounds wonderful! I bet they have fried catfish on Fridays??? There is nothing like good ole southern food. If it was Sunday it was either fried chicken or pot roast. I miss those days. The company was always as good as the food. And, the food was amazing.
