The begonia needs sunshine?
0:28
All my friends out there,
0:30
I want to introduce y'all to Ann Kelly.
0:34
She owns Ann's Garden here in Albany, Georgia,
0:38
and she's located on Gillionville Road,
0:41
and she has, you've heard of people with the green thumb?
0:45
She's got 10 green fingers, don't ya, Ann?
0:49
- Maybe.
0:51
(laughing)
0:52
I have good help.
0:53
- And a lot of good help.
0:54
So y'all, this is Ann Kelly, and this is-
0:57
- [Ann] Julia.
0:58
- Julia, who helps her out.
1:00
She's leaving for college soon.
1:03
- And I'm gonna miss her. - I know you are.
1:05
Well, Ann, show us everything that you've got.
1:09
It's been, gosh, about three months since
1:10
you and I were here, right, Eddie?
1:12
- [Eddie] Yes.
1:13
- I do want to show y'all.
1:14
How many, how many of these trees did I get
1:18
while we were here?
1:19
Over there, Ann.
1:20
- [Ann] Three or four, I don't remember, Paula.
1:23
- [Paula] I love them, and they're not just
1:25
for Christmas, are they?
1:27
- [Ann] No, people use them all year everywhere.
1:30
- I love them, I can't wait, we're supposed to be moving
1:34
back into our house August the first,
1:38
so I can't wait to pull out the things
1:40
that I've gotten from you.
1:42
- Well, thank you.
1:44
- And put it in the house.
1:45
I can't, how many did we get, Eddie?
1:46
- [Eddie] I think you got three.
1:48
- Look at that blue, isn't that beautiful?
1:51
- Ooh, it's a beautiful.
1:53
- [Ann] Blue with the quail, it's a little different.
1:56
- It's beautiful.
1:58
Now Ann, tell everybody about your stuff.
2:01
Some of your stuff is old.
2:02
- Some of my stuff is really old, and some of my stuff is,
2:06
looks very old, but it's not.
2:11
- Kinda like, kinda like me.
2:12
(laughing)
2:17
Well, walk through, Eddie, and show them everything.
2:21
- [Ann] That bowl Susan is holding is very old.
2:23
It's an old Chinese bowl.
2:26
- That's beautiful.
2:28
- [Paula] I think it is beautiful.
2:29
I was saving that brown for a while.
2:35
You know, the brown?
2:37
- [Eddie] Yeah, we still have a few others.
2:39
- [Paula] We still have a piece.
2:40
- [Ann] You still have those green wine glasses right there?
2:44
- [Paula] Is that depression glass?
2:46
- [Ann] Yeah, it's from like, the forties.
2:48
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
2:50
- 1940s, well, I say the forties like I forget it's 2021,
2:55
and people might not realize that the forties is 1940.
2:58
- I don't remember this, Ann, and I know you don't either,
3:01
but when you used to go to the gas station
3:04
and fill up your car, they'd give you a plate or a bowl.
3:09
- I don't remember that,
3:10
but I remember the S&H green stamps.
3:12
- Oh honey, I've licked a many,
3:14
I've licked a many of S&H green stamps, and I remember
3:18
one time I was probably 22 years old,
3:22
called myself dieting, and I looked so forward
3:24
to licking those SNH green stamps, 'cause they were sweet.
3:27
(laughing)
3:29
They were my dessert, Ann.
3:31
- See, I was always hoping they forgot to give them to you,
3:34
'cause if they forgot to give them to you,
3:36
and you'd go drive off, they'd double 'em.
3:40
- I didn't know about that one.
3:41
- There's no telling how much Corningware I got
3:43
with S&H green stamps.
3:45
(laughing)
3:46
- I can remember my grandmother at Harvey's,
3:49
we'd go, and she'd say, "Did they'd give them to you?"
3:50
"No, no, maybe they're in the bag, no, no."
3:53
"Double, double," we'd go all the way back.
3:57
- Well, I wish I'd known about that.
3:58
- [Susan] Yeah.
3:59
Don't get them the first time, you get double.
4:01
Has that table always been there?
4:04
- [Ann] Yeah, I've had that table.
4:06
- [Susan] I was gonna say. - [Ann] I love that table.
4:09
- [Paula] And what about these little fern stands?
4:13
- [Ann] Made out of recycled wood.
4:15
We made 'em here at the shop.
4:17
- [Susan] Did Serafin make those?
4:18
- [Ann] No, one of my other men made those, yeah.
4:20
- Sounds like she's got a lot of men.
4:22
- [Susan] You should see the table that they made in here.
4:25
- [Paula] Really, where is it? - [Susan] It's gone, isn't it?
4:28
- What?
4:29
- The table that the men were making,
4:30
the kitchen table, that long dining room table?
4:33
- I've got the blue one still back there,
4:35
and I've got that great big one.
4:37
- [Susan] I couldn't believe they were making it.
4:38
That was beautiful.
4:39
- Well Ann, take us on a tour.
4:41
Right now, y'all, we're in the, what would you call this?
4:45
The gift shop part of your business?
4:47
- Well, this is just we call it the front shop.
4:50
I have a love of crystal and silver.
4:53
- Yes, I do too. - And so I buy it
4:55
for the shop, and that way I'll have to feel guilty,
4:58
and it makes my shop really pretty, and some people love it,
5:01
so I enjoy having it. - Well, I just love your shop.
5:04
All this wood,
5:06
this is just beautiful wood. - This wood is original
5:08
to the building.
5:09
- [Paula] Is it?
5:10
- [Ann] Yeah. I took it down, and insulated the building,
5:12
and then put it back up.
5:13
- Well, I love it.
5:15
It reminds me of the wood that we had
5:18
in the dock house, Eddie? - [Eddie] Yeah.
5:19
- [Susan] Look at that lamp up there, please.
5:22
- [Paula] Wow.
5:25
But this part of her store is kind of the air conditioned.
5:28
- Yeah, it's air conditioned, thank heavens.
5:30
- Yes, well, we're going to go.
5:32
Eddie, do we need to walk around this way,
5:35
just to do a quick walk?
5:39
- [Ann] Now, this way, you'll see crystal and candles.
5:43
- [Paula] Yes.
5:44
- [Ann] Everything, silver.
5:46
- [Paula] Yes.
5:47
- [Ann] And I added this year-
5:49
- [Paula] What have you got, candles?
5:50
- [Ann] Yeah, I added this year, the candles,
5:52
like those familiar candles, because-
5:55
- [Paula] I love your candles.
5:58
- And that's the scented candles,
5:59
but these are the ones you can come in and buy
6:01
as many as you want or like, which is a rare thing.
6:05
- Yes.
6:07
- So I stock them where if you need eight candles
6:09
down the side of the table, you can do eight.
6:12
- And you can see Ann likes trees, this is-
6:15
- Oh, I always have my trees.
6:17
That fell in the hurricane in a customer's yard,
6:21
and I picked it up, and brought it to the shop.
6:23
- No. - And it became a bird tree.
6:25
(laughing)
6:27
Well, it was a perfect shape, wasn't it?
6:29
- It was.
6:30
- Well, let's walk back here in the back, bubbles.
6:34
- [Susan] All right.
6:35
- And like, this looks real old.
6:36
- [Ann] It is, that's very old.
6:38
- [Paula] Be careful, Paula, be careful.
6:40
- [Ann] I love that.
6:41
I love the colors, and the theme.
6:44
What does it say on it?
6:45
- I don't know, I can't tell.
6:47
- Well, I can't read.
6:49
- Well, here, I got my glasses.
6:50
Why don't I put them on?
6:51
- Okay, what does it say?
6:53
- It says-
6:55
- If it's not good, don't see it.
6:57
(laughing)
6:58
- Schwarzenburg.
7:01
- Germany?
7:02
- Uh-huh, looks very fancy.
7:05
- I like the, the bird, the bowl, the globe.
7:09
- The globe?
7:10
- [Susan] Whatever.
7:12
- The red globe?
7:13
- [Ann] Yeah.
7:14
- Yeah, that looks like the cranberry.
7:15
- [Ann] Plus, you put a candle in there, it's gorgeous.
7:18
- Well, take us to the part that I,
7:23
I can't say I love it the best, but-
7:24
- Did you hear me, Ann?
7:25
That thing you fixed for my front door
7:27
at the lake is gorgeous.
7:29
- Really?
7:30
- You did it like this, but it's like the one
7:32
on the front door with the ivy and the ferns.
7:34
(door creaking)
7:36
Everything I took to Jean Wheeler.
7:39
- Ooh, that about got my eye!
7:42
(door creaking)
7:46
- These are solar chandeliers.
7:49
Solar chandeliers.
7:51
You can hang them outside in the tree where they get sun.
7:55
- [Paula] Oh!
7:56
- And every night they come on.
7:57
- [Paula] No!
7:59
- Are you serious?
8:00
- They're solar.
8:01
- [Paula] No.
8:02
- Oh yeah, and they're really pretty.
8:03
- Solar powered?
8:05
Solar powered, we don't need electricity.
8:09
- See, the business involved in the solar matter is
8:11
right in here and it charges.
8:13
- [Paula] No.
8:15
You know what?
8:17
- So when you turn off the lights in here,
8:18
will they come on?
8:19
- I will take all three of those, Ann.
8:20
- No, because there's not a charge to it.
8:23
- Oh.
8:24
- See, that's the downside.
8:25
- Ann, I will take all three of those.
8:26
- Thank you.
8:28
Won't they be beautiful, Eddie?
8:32
- Going once, going twice, sold.
8:34
- Sold!
8:36
- You will adore them, Paula.
8:37
- I can't believe they're, they caught my eye,
8:39
'cause you know, I was a barracuda in a previous life,
8:44
and I'm attached to, I appreciate sparkly things.
8:49
Let's see if I'm wanting to get me another (indistinct).
8:53
(laughing)
8:55
But that'd be perfect for the yard, won't it, Eddie?
8:59
I love the fact that it's solar powered.
9:03
- You just have to hang 'em where they get enough sun,
9:06
at least a half a day, 'cause you know, shine.
9:09
- Yeah, yeah.
9:11
Well, I'm so glad you told us about those things,
9:14
'cause I thought, "Well, I love the chandeliers,
9:16
but I don't see a bulb."
9:18
- [Eddie] What about this big farm table?
9:20
- [Paula] Yes.
9:20
- Where's the farm table?
9:22
- [Eddie] It's there.
9:23
- [Paula] Tell 'em about this farm table, Ann.
9:25
- [Ann] This is one they built.
9:26
- [Eddie] Is it reclaimed wood?
9:28
- Yes, it's built out of an old shed that was torn down
9:32
in the hurricane in Rawson Circle.
9:35
- [Paula] Really?
9:35
- Yes, and we constructed it where you have no new cut ends.
9:40
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
9:41
- [Ann] They're all old cut, I mean, they're old.
9:43
- [Paula] Yeah, I noticed that.
9:45
- That's why I put this in the middle, where we could have
9:48
it this long without any new cut wood showing.
9:50
- [Paula] Yeah.
9:51
- And those are the legs from an old swing set,
9:55
and see the dowels for the ladder?
9:58
- [Paula] Yes, no nails in that, right?
10:01
- [Ann] It's really, that swing came from a plantation home
10:05
in Lewisville, those legs from an old swing set.
10:12
- [Paula] Well, Ann, how in the world?
10:14
Oh, and I love these, Ann. Now, you didn't have these
10:16
the last time Eddie and I were here.
10:18
- The frogs. - These frog,
10:19
these frog pot holders.
10:22
- Yep.
10:23
- Look at that, and they, y'all, they've got a crown,
10:26
the frogs are wearing a crown.
10:28
- [Ann] King frog, king and prince is what.
10:33
- If I kiss, if I kiss this frog, will I get me a prince?
10:39
- [Ann] I don't know.
10:43
- I don't see no prince.
10:45
(laughing)
10:47
- [Susan] They once had a wedding in here.
10:47
- No!
10:48
- Pouring down rain, but they did Oriental carpets
10:51
through for the aisle, and look
10:55
at the bridesmaid behind you.
11:00
- [Ann] They left some flowers, and they dried,
11:03
but look at that's one of the bridesmaids.
11:06
- [Paula] Isn't that beautiful?
11:08
- I had a candle and kind of made it a wreath.
11:10
The other one's over there.
11:11
- [Paula] Oh, how fun.
11:13
- It was a pretty, I mean, Ann had decorated it.
11:18
- We just got the orchids like the day before,
11:20
so I had a hundred orchids and evergreens,
11:24
and it was gorgeous.
11:25
- I bet it was.
11:26
Well, to me, it's beautiful just like this
11:28
with the old and the new.
11:31
- And of course we had the grapevine balls, and-
11:34
- [Paula] Yes, I love those.
11:35
- Everybody loved, and we had them made,
11:38
and we put the lights in 'em, you weave them
11:40
where they're solid, we don't just wrap 'em around.
