Big Sis and I were on the road yesterday heading west from the southeastern coast of Virginia where I live all the way across the state into the northeastern tip of Tennessee in the mountains to my Mom's house. 

Along the way we stopped in Lynchburg, VA for a nice lunch and a little shopping in the downtown historic district.  We happened upon a lovely back garden in one of the shops, a french antique dealer.  While sis drooled over the vintage french goodies inside I stepped out onto the back patio.

Next we stumbled upon an old style hardware store that had 3 floors of architectural salvage.  We were immediately drawn to the old chippy iron railing remnants.  Sis picked out a couple to gift to mom and I picked out one for my garden at home.

Here is a picture from Mom's garden just for fun.

Tomorrow is the Tree Streets Yard Sales, oh yeah.
