0:03
- How long do you take? - Come on.
0:05
Y'all, we're at Hester and Zipperer,
0:07
one of my favorite garden shops in Savannah
0:09
and I think this is the oldest garden shop,
0:15
And they always have the most luscious, wonderful things.
0:19
From home accessories to vegetables, to plants.
0:23
I mean, they got it all.
0:26
And I'm just in love with their gourds.
0:28
So when I say gourd's, it reminds me of daddy.
0:33
Daddy would say, "Okay, go ahead, gourd head".
0:37
- [Eddie] Well, we have a project that we're working on.
0:39
- Yeah. - Your front stairs, so.
0:41
- Yes, yes. - Let's go put it together.
0:43
- And Eddies' done a great job so far.
0:45
Eddie, when we left the house,
0:47
he was showing me on the internet,
0:50
Hester and Zipperer's page with all these gourds.
0:56
And I said, oh my gosh, Eddie, please take me,
1:01
I mean, they're incredible.
1:03
They look like they look--
1:07
- Sea urchins. (Eddie chuckling)
1:09
And I mean, they're just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
1:14
And so y'all gonna be seeing these
1:17
on our kitchen counters, y'all,
1:19
because, and you know what?
1:20
Another thing Eddie, is they last so long.
1:26
Look at this black gourd.
1:28
- [Eddie] Yeah, it looks like an octopus a little bit.
1:30
- I mean, this one does, but he's got a,
1:34
he's got a leg broken off. (Eddie chuckling)
1:35
So how long would he, would that start...
1:43
I mean, look at that.
1:45
It does, it reminds me of sea life, Eddie.
1:47
- [Eddie] Yeah, when I was here the other day,
1:49
they were unloading some and like,
1:51
it reminded me of the coral.
1:54
- Yes, it does, it's like coral.
1:58
Lemme see, I love the, I'm so afraid I'm gonna knock
2:01
your table slap over y'all.
2:04
Look, we already started us a wagon.
2:12
- Our trip to Hester and Zipperer was so much fun.
2:17
And it's kinda in Midtown, wouldn't you say, Theresa?
2:21
- [Theresa] Kinda in Midtown.
2:22
- Eddie's running an errand.
2:24
So Theresa is behind the camera today,
2:28
which I so appreciate.
2:30
But look, I wanna show y'all these gourds.
2:33
They look like snakes.
2:36
And I think that this is just two gourds.
2:41
I know, it's insane crazy.
2:43
Come around here from this side, Theresa.
2:47
I mean, they are beautiful.
2:51
Beautiful, beautiful. (chuckles)
2:54
- [Theresa] And you bought a lot of them.
2:56
And y'all know gourds will last for months and months.
3:03
Even if it gets nicked, it...
3:08
Chris was explaining to me at Hester and Zipperer,
3:10
that they almost get like a scab on them,
3:14
and they heal themselves wherever they've been bumped.
3:18
Unlike a pumpkin, if you nick it,
3:23
it's gonna start deteriorating in that place.
3:26
So I do love gourds for that reason.
3:30
And here's some more over here on the kitchen counter,
3:33
Theresa, on top of the stove.
3:36
Look at all these beautiful gourds.
3:40
Look at 'em, that one looks like a swan.
3:42
- [Theresa] It's just amazing
3:44
how they different shapes. - I know it.
3:45
And the thing is, they look so like the sea.
3:51
They remind me of starfish that I've seen in Alaska.
3:59
You know, they're just beautiful.
4:02
They look like sea urchins, which I just love.
4:07
Look at the steps, this is the stuff we got
4:09
from Hester and zipper yesterday.
4:12
So we're all decked out for fall y'all.
4:28
