From Out of the Past: September 2007

Fall is Special!

Fall is finally here. The weather is considering cooling down. (At least it is definitely cooler than the 100+ we had in August.) Football is in the air and the leaves will be turning before we know it. It is time to get out, explore and look for those great finds. We think we have lots of them in our shop!

Our features this week are from various dealer booths in the store (note side bar) and from a rather new shop in downtown Griffin, Weekend Treasures, 125 S. Hill Street. Charlie and I have two spots (shelves really) in that shop. One of shelf displays features Southern Belles Milk Soap. We have quite a variety of the soaps for sell there and if you haven't tried any yet, you are in for a treat when you do. Along with the soap are lighted bottles which we call Bottle-de-Lites. Check out the pictures, these bottles are just plain fun. On the other set of shelves, you will find a variety of items from a set of amber glasses to art work. You'll be in for a fun experience when you visit this shop.

From Out of the Past

mailto:fromthepast@bellsouth.net

From Out of the Past is an antiques store here in Griffin, Georgia. We have approximately 5000 square feet of all kinds of treasures. Over the past few months, we have expanded our business by adding U.S. coins and believe it or not, goat’s milk soap to our inventory. Charlie is the coin dealer and has quite a large collection of U.S. coins which he thoroughly enjoys. The goat’s milk soap came about after meeting the makers of the

soap at an antique show. We are using the soap at home and simply love it.

The store has five other dealers who rent space from us to sell their unique antiques and collectibles. The rest of the space is packed with all kinds of fun and fabulous finds and treasures. If you are looking for that special something, especially something you remember that your grandparents may have had on the farm, come see us. There is a good chance we will have it. We have space for more dealers so contact us either by telephone or via email.

Note the Treasure Chest below. It is an old cabinet from the Experiment Station here in Griffin. We think it was used by the Entomology Department since we found bug slides inside it. We are using it to house various treasures. Each drawer has wonderful treasures just ripe for the taking.

We are located at 430 East Taylor Street on HWY 16 approximately 10 miles from I-75, exit 205. We are not hard to spot, from I-75, just look for the gold building right after the cemetery. If you are coming from the west, just look for the old Coca Cola Bottling plant in the block after Taylor Street Middle School. We are at the other end of the block, right before the cemetery. We are open Tuesday-Saturday each week and would love to have you come see us.

The pictures posted here are a very, very small sampling of what we have at our shop. We also sell online on a site called Ruby Lane. You can view all that we have there by visiting the link listed below.
