I TRAVEL ALL AROUND THE SOUTH LOOKING FOR THOSE REMAINING PIECES OF THE GENTLE SOUTH OF A BY-GONE ERA. A TIME WHEN "PORCH SETTING" WAS A SOCIAL EVENT AS WELL AS ART FORM. GLIDERS,CAST IRON PATIO FURNITURE,GLASS TOP TABLE&CHAIRS,CHAISE LOUNGERS AND THE LIKE THAT BE-SPEAK OF THAT "TIME WHEN....."

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE WHEN IT RAINS..........
THE BRIGHT YELLOW GLIDER THAT I BOUGHT
WAS THE ONLY SUNSHINE AVAILABLE AT
VIRGINIA/HIGHLANDS MARKET SUNDAY (03.29.09)
SUCH IS THE LIFE OF GYPSIES! IT WAS FUN TO SET UP WITH FRIENDS TRACY AND STACY HARTLEY. THE
HANK WILLIAMS ART WORK SEEN HERE IS ONE OF SEVERAL WONDERFUL PIECES THAT TRACY HAD ON HAND FOR US TO ENJOY. HE ALSO CUSTOM MAKES FURNITURE. SEE MORE BY GOING TO HIS SITE: http://www.tracyhartley.net/ PLEASE, ALSO FOLLOW HIS BLOG--IT'S A HOOT!larrycook351@yahoo.com 706-302-8902

Just found your site. This is nice. I remember sitting on my grandparents Outdoor Living Furniture glider on east 10th street in Anniston. I think it was the same model as shown in your photo but a greenish/aqua color. Wow, brings back memories. Thanks, Bill
ReplyDeleteBILL IT COULD BE THE SAME PATTERN. ALTHOUGH THE ONE IN THE PICTURE IS ATLANTA STOVE WORKS, THEY WERE BOUGHT OUT BY BIRMINGHAM STOVE WORKS JUST BEFORE WWII AND BLANKETED THE SOUTH IN THEIR TWO MAJOR PATTERNS. YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER PATTERN IN THE "ABOUT ME" IN THE LEFT COLUMN. ALL LOCAL FURNITURE STORES SOLD THESE AND IN THE DAYS WHEN PORCH-SITTING WAS THE NORM, ALMOST EVERYBODY HAD ONE.
