The
Cranky Queen & her "
Dutchess" friend, Melanie, headed to Montgomery, AL & decided to make a detour before starting their day. Melanie had been told about this awesome place that specialized in architectural salvage. The "catch" was...it is only open 10-12 noon...Tues-Thurs. The shop is named
Rescued Relics, & it is operated by volunteers with all proceeds going to help
restore
Old Alabama Town.
 |
| We were "all smiles" after finding so many treasures...a little sweaty and grungy...but grinning like kids in a candy store! |
|
|
 |
| Look at these fabulous lights! |
|
 |
| Tons of doors...The Cranky Queen did purchase a cool old screen door with the original hardware! | |
|
 |
| Roger, the very nice gentleman who assisted us on our "scavenger hunt", hides behind the screen door that I bought! |
 |
| Three matching mantles...when would you ever find these? | |
|
 |
| This beautiful arched doorway was already "adopted" & waiting to be carried to its new home. |
|
 |
| They had windows...any shape...any size. |
|
 |
| We both loved these unique french-style doors with the original door bell. |
|
 |
| Vintage enamel sinks & tubs...some still with the hardware attached! |
 |
| We literally "drooled" over this wrought iron fencing & even tried to purchase some of the fleur-de-lis toppers....BUT these are not for sale. This very old fencing is used to restore the existing fences in Old AL Town. |
|
 |
| Melanie loved these old chairs. I plan on getting them if they have not been "adopted" this week when I return to pick up the screen door for the castle. |
 |
Wrought iron fireplace covers, more enamel sinks...we were in salvage heaven!
So we loaded up the trunk & back seat of the car & promised to return one day! It was definitely worth the detour...Like the Queen said "All Work & No Play, Makes For A Very, Very Long Day...STAY CALM & GO JUNKIN'! Tiffany
