some old pictures from Rogersville, Tennessee

Back in May we worked at a car show in Rogersville, Tennessee. I had been meaning to post some pictures of this but I forgot about them. The car show is a benefit for local charities, and each year is held on the land of a man who has recreated a small town from the fifties on his property. He has a Texaco gas station, a car dealership with an original curved class window, a railroad car style diner, a metal Sears house (I think it is Sears, anyway) and lots and lots of vintage antiques to furnish them. And the buildings are not just reproductions -- he has purchased the actual buildings and has had them moved to his property. It really is like a museum -- he should open for business and charge admission.

My camera ran out of batteries partway through, but here is a sample of some of the sights:

custom order, no time to post

I've been working on both a custom order and a website recently (two separate new customers), so I haven't had much time to post lately. I thought instead I'd post a picture of one of my favorite motels. This was taken back in 2001 when my husband and I took a month off to take a road trip around the US. We covered over 8000 miles, and went from Massachusetts to Tennessee, out to Arizona, up California to Seattle, then east through Colorado and the midwest, and finally back to Massachusetts. This picture was taken in Kingman, AZ on Route 66. This is the motel that Timothy McVeigh stayed at the night before he bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City. We did not know it at the time we took the picture.
