Author Renee Sellers Bennett During Our Spring Open House March 12

 
 Author Renee Sellers Bennett and a few shop dealers at Antiques In Old Town
 
 
Finally sharing some photos from Renee's book signing at our Spring Open House a few weeks ago. It is amazing how time gets away when you are thinking spring, decorating the shop, and finding treasures to share with our friends and customers. We had a lovely time with our guest author Renee Sellers Bennett. Her book Hearts Immersed Within (part memoir/part recipe) is as delightful as she is.  
 
In Renee's words:  I don’t just love to cook, I cook to love and I am not alone. Find yourself mirrored in the stories I tell. Embrace cooking as a gift-an expression of love. This book was written with a truly southern flair to convey the distinctive words and expressions unique to the South. Join me on the personal journey that led me to the kitchen as I reveal some of most treasured recipes, but most importantly – do not forget the relish! We cook for love, we cook for joy. We cook when death knocks at the door, our hearts full of sorrow - when we can do no more, than offer the repast from our hearts.
 
Complete with ninety recipes - each one yummy and easy to make! Renee shared one with us during her event at the shop.
 
 
You can find Renee's book on Amazon. Just click here to go there!
 
 
 
Look for more authors to join us for book signings later this summer!

Friday, A Most Glorious Day For An Open House - And There Is Still Saturday!

 
My favorite vintage bike and rocker and little green house are blooming with flowers!

Today was glorious. Couldn't have wished for better weather! And it was so wonderful to see many of our friends, some driving a good distance to visit with us and see how spring has sprung at the shop. Some photos here, more to come tomorrow. Our dealers had fun, too, meeting, greeting, and enjoying the day. Lots of yummy food to eat. And tomorrow, an additional treat, meet author Renee Sellers Bennett who will be signing her book Hearts Immersed Within: Recipes, Reflections and a Side of Relish from noon until 3pm.

 
Outside the shop some pretty flowers in an old wagon.
 
 
Lots of Spring and Easter Treasures
 
 
Note the bunny hat!
 
 
Lots of bunnies everywhere.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And food, fun, and friendship!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Come see us tomorrow!
We are open from 9am to 5pm (an hour earlier than our regular 10 am) Saturday!

Saturday Meet Author Renee Sellers Bennett As Part Of Our Spring Open House

 
 
 
Immerse your heart, engage your soul in Hearts Immersed Within:
Recipes, Reflections and a Side of Relish

Meet the Author

Buy at the shop on Saturday or Order on Amazon.

Renee's Book Signing is part of our Spring Open House! We are closed today (Thursday). Shop hours Friday and Saturday are 9am to 5pm. Renee will be here from noon until 3 on Saturday!

We are excited to have local author Renee Sellers Bennett as our guest on Saturday, March 12 from 12:00 until 3:00 to sign copies of her book. Renee is a native of Walton County with roots in Gwinnett and the Lilburn area.  Her poignant stories are a reflection of the baby boomer era that will bring you both tears and laughter.  Over 90 recipes are featured in the book, but the heart and soul are the memories you will share.  Don't miss this exciting opportunity to meet her firsthand.

It has always been my belief that food is essential to nourishing not only our body, but our souls. It is the tie that binds us to the very traditions that families hold tender to their hearts, extending beyond to cherished friends. The very smell of food cooking permeates our being, touches our souls, sends our senses reeling and evokes memories. I don’t just love to cook, I cook to love and I am not alone. Find yourself mirrored in the stories I tell. Embrace cooking as a gift-an expression of love. This book was written with a truly southern flair to convey the distinctive words and expressions unique to the South. Join me on the personal journey that led me to the kitchen as I reveal some of most treasured recipes, but most importantly – do not forget the relish! We cook for love, we cook for joy. We cook when death knocks at the door, our hearts full of sorrow - when we can do no more, than offer the repast from our hearts.

Come by, shop, meet Renee, and share in refreshments brought in by our wonderful dealers!
