Red Barn - Homewood

This is no ordinary barn, actually I think it's just a storage area painted this fine red at Christopher Glenn in Homewood.  They specialize in antiques, lamps and accessories inside, and outside a beautiful selection of planters, statuary and fountains for your garden.

Foot Loose!

Today we venture across the street from The Garage to a fenced area where Fritz Woehle stashes some interesting finds.  It's grown up with wisteria etc. ( hopefully no poison ivy) since my last visit so walking around was challenging.  Under the big shed were fabulous old doors and mantels and everywhere you looked, bits and pieces of statuary and ornamental iron, rusted of course.  The stuff that sends photographers over the moon.

I will be teaching my photography class, From Snapshots to Creative Photographs at Samford After Sundown again this fall. Please share this link with anyone who might be interested in the Birmingham area.

Also, for those of you planning a trip to Paris, or just dreaming of one, I"ll be teaching a one day workshop, Weekend In Paris at Samford on Sept. 28 from 9-3.  I will share travel tips, a bit of French culture and language as well my favorites things to see and do in Paris. In the afternoon we will talk photography and how to bring home fabulous photographs from your travels.  

Through the Garden Gate

Christopher Glen, in Homewood, has a marvelous selection of outdoor containers and statuary.  A walk through these beautiful doors, one finds many delights. I'll share more from time to time. Oh, and inside the shop, lovely antiques, lamps and collectibles as well!
