RESURRECT ANTIQUES IS UP AND RUNNING!


THIS IS A PHOTO FROM http://resurrectantiques.blogspot.com/. THIS SHOP IS OWNED AND OPPERATED BY MICHELLE KLIMA. IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE WITHIN A HALF-DAY DRIVE OF OPALIKA, ALABAMA, YOU OWE IT TO THE ANTIQUE-LOVER IN YOURSELF TO STOP BY. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN LOTS AND LOTS OF ANTIQUE SHOPS, BUT TRUST ME THIS ONE MAKES YOU SAY "WOW". MICHELLE AND HER HUSBAND, STEVE HAVE WITHOUT A DOUBT BURNED THE MIDNIGHT OIL FOR MANY, MANY NIGHTS TO GET THIS SHOP UP AND RUNNING. YOU DON'T JUST HAPPEN UPON THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY THAT IS FOUND IN THIS STORE BY CHANCE. AND JUST AS IMPRESSIVE AS THIS SHOP IS, SO IS THE PERSONALITY AND PERSONAL SERVICE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THERE. MICHELLE WILL GO OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR DECORATING AND DESIGNING NEEDS. AS YOU WILL SEE AS SOON AS YOU ENTER, "THE GIRL KNOWS HER BUSINESS". AS AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE IS FOND OF SAYING, "YOU'LL DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF A NEW CADILLAC BEFORE YOU WILL FIND BETTER."
