What's happenin' on Third Street

So sad to see them go! If you haven't ever seen the lovely shop of antiques and new finds that was on South Third Street, then you have almost missed your chance - almost. Feathered Nest was such a great addition to the top block of our main drag. Sue Moeller and Melanie have been friends and business partners for awhile, and they paired together very nicely when they opened the store a couple of years ago. But things change and now Sue looks forward to having more free time and enjoying retirement with her hubby. The store has a huge sale going on - but things are being boxed up and moved , so call ahead for store hours.

The Antique Mall on Wells Street, between S. Third and S. Second has been a favorite shopping stop of mine for sometime now. My entire home is graced with any number of goodies that I have found in Bev's store. Now, there are plans to move into the space adjacent to Rod's Antique Country Station at the top of S. Third. The plans are to have entirely new inventory, so keep your eyes peeled for good sales in the upcoming weeks.

I haven't worn many hats that I haven't fashioned or knit myself these last couple of years, and maybe that was true for a lot of people, because the hat shop, Hats Exclusively For You, that graced S. Third just east of Cugini's has been gone for a little while now - so that space is available, if anyone is interested.

However, Jennifer Davis Hayes let us know in a recent email she sent around that at 601 S. Third a new Teriyaki/Burger joint will be going in - which will be great, because for a lot of us, Burgers are a food group we gladly eat from all of the time.

Mother's Day Shopping Happens on Third Street

Deb at Girlfriennd's Antiques, Gifts and Florals has some really adorable planters full of fresh flowering blooms for you to give to Mom. Located at 920 S. Third and she will open at 10. You never know what other goodies may be lurking there - I adore this woman's vintage window displays!

Feathered Nest has the most endearing interior and so many lovely treasures that any Mother in the world would adore - I am especially fond of the scented candle selections and the wonderful lamp displays. There is also a 30% storewide sale that is applied to almost everything - with those prices you can shop like you want - one for you, then one for Mom. Sue Moeller will be open 11 am - 5:30, and that's at 914 S. Third.

Mary Clymer of Happy Delusions is having a Celebrate Mom Party at her store that begins tonight at 5pm. A little wine, tasty nibbles and some drawings to be held that evening for gift baskets - oh la la.

Two of the artists represented in the store - ALex Sandlin and Ladora Bornum, will be bringing in a special selection of artwork for the evening's gathering.

Alex Sandlin, know for her lovely paintings of girls with large, pouty eyes, will have eleven full sized canvases of new work for our special viewing pleasure.

Ladora Barnum will be bringing a selection of her pottery. Ladora does a series of hanging dolls with porcelain faces and flowing robes that I am personally very partial too - I have one in my bedroom and on my front door! Mary's store opens at 10 am today - 924 S. Third St.

As always, Shop Local and remember to give your Mom some love - she deserves it!
