Shopping at Adelaide's on Spring Garden Street

The blocks on Spring Garden Street by Chapman Street really have some fun destination businesses. The above photo features one of those establishments, Adelaide's Vintage Home and Garden Store. As you can see, Adelaide has decorated for the holidays. If you stop by, you can enjoy the winter wonderland. She offers a wide range of items from vintage, Christmas Golden Books for children to "ugly" Christmas sweaters to soy candles to handmade jewelry to painted furniture. Best of all, you have a proprietor on site who makes the shopping experience seem more like you are visiting a friend's house than in a retail space. 

Greensboro is so lucky to have so many local businesses with owners on site.  There are too many to mention here, but if you follow Greensboro Daily Photo, you know we've featured many of these businesses and the women behind them. They, Adelaide included, are creative and resourceful. Please remember to shop local every chance you get this holiday season. And, take a few minutes to get to know the business owners. Patronizing these businesses feels like emotional therapy rolled into retail therapy. The more we look at this photo, the more we realize there are items we need to get back and purchase from Adelaide! Happy Friday!

I would love this place. For some reason "vintage" things remind me of my childhood! :) There's a small town north of Ocala that is filled with "vintage" shops and we go browse on occasion. Well, it also has a small cafe with wonderful ice cream.

Re your comment on Ocala: We've got a small magnolia tree in our front yard that we planted a couple of years ago. It's coming along well. Our community is called Majestic Oaks, but I've often thought it could be called Majestic Magnolias, because of all the huge and beautiful magnolia trees here.

The place looks very welcoming.
