I have been looking for a "Z" for our home - and they actually had one. I told the man, Barney (i think) that I found his store through your blog and he thought that was great.

I've been going to the Mission Possible Thrift Store lately when I'm in a thrift store mood. While you are out that way...you should head up Crestwood Blvd. going towards downtown and check out some of the cute neighborhoods on both sides. Avondale is up past those on the left and I believe several of the Cottage Living girls live/lived over there. I also lived in Crestwood and there used to be several antique stores on the right at the stop light. Lots of changes going on over there, but still such a charming area.<BR/><BR/>I always enjoy your posts...it's like a personal tour of Bham for me!

The sign says: Shut the Duck up.

I may have to try to make it to Irondale this summer. One time a few friends got together and I said something about fried green tomatoes. My friend who was hosting, said she had some green tomatoes in her garden and wanted me to fry some up. These people had never had any. One lady just thought it was a book and movie. She did not realize that we really eat green tomatoes. The same lady was over at my house once and could not believe people really drink out of Mason Jars. She was excited to drink out of one of mine. Anyway, the fried green tomatoes were a hit!
