Blue Ridge and Elijay Georgia

My husband and I drove up to Blue Ridge and Elijay Georgia.  It’s located about 2 hours from our home. Its a beautiful drive through the mountains and located near trout springs, lakes, and mountain cabins. Many of the shops are geared for tourist, and cabin furnishings, fishing gear, and bear t shirts and stuffed animals are plentiful.  Mountain cabin rentals are available as well as guided fishing trips. But that’s not what we went for.  I love the antique shops and they are everywhere, especially in Elijay.  These small towns are located in the heart of apple country and apple barns are full of apples, apple butter, fried apple pies, apple salsa, and of course my favorite fried apple pies.

It wouldn’t have been a shopping trip if I hadn’t found a garden shop, and I found a great one. Penelope’s Garden is located in downtown BlueRidge.  This display is for those who love to make Fairy Gardens. You can’t see it in this picture but there is a waterfall running down the middle of the display.
They do not have a website but you can reach at BradleyDavid1@mac.com  Tell them you saw it on my blog.
Happy Travels

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
