In today's photo, we see the Metal Man, sitting in his truck bed, making a visit to Adelaide's Vintage Home and Garden on Spring Garden Street. He works tirelessly finding, buying, and selling treasures that the original owners no longer want. Many days, he has scrap metal for D.H. Griffin; other days, he has antiques and old furniture. He's been working to diversify his business and to determine the needs of his market. He dreams of a new truck and making it big! To the left, Antonio, Renaissance Man, tries to determine what they might have room for inside the store.
This is the perfect segue to mention that this is a busy weekend for Greensboro. Remember, the Liberty Antique's Festival continues today. Also, at the Central Library, Children's Book Day is in full swing. If you are local, please get out and enjoy everything that Greensboro has to offer. We're sharing today's post with Weekend Reflections.
We have a Metal Man here too! When my son-in-law and I were cleaning the very back garage(we have a couple + a few sheds!)I told him to start a pile for the Metal Man and then I had to explain about him. You do not need to call him, he cruises by at least twice a week,just flag him down.
Tomorrow we are going to the So Cal Renaissance Faire so your post today was really a crossover for me!
The Antiques fair sounds great too! I really have to get myself back there someday.
