<\/a><\/a>Wonderful things happen when you go antiquing. You get a feel, smell and touch of the past.\"mother\u2019s<\/a> You can bring a piece of Georgia back to Florida!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite places to visit when I cross over the Florida-Georgia line is The Back Porch Antiques. <\/p>\n

\"Darlene<\/a>Ms. Darlene Carpenter and her poodle Nikki will greet you with a smile and talk to you about what’s happening in the area. She also is quite knowledgeable about home decorating – Southern style. Ms. Carpenter is a native and is called upon whenever someone has passed on to sell the antiques left behind.<\/p>\n

The image to the right is a piece my mother bought from Ms. Darlene. My sister accidentally hung the mirror upside down (it is supposed to be attached to the furniture), but I have to tell you, with the vine cascading across the top, this makes for an interesting conversation piece. Of course, when I brought this up to my daughter, she said — “Don’t bring it up – that’s a sore subject.”<\/p>\n

I bought a beautiful, petite old rocking chair that somehow never made it back to Weston. It has found a permanent home at the 1900’s antique architect’s desk in my daughter’s living room from you guessed it — The Back Porch.<\/p>\n

I purchased a 110 year old fireplace mantel from Darlene which was taken from a home that was knocked down in Sylvania, Georgia. Unfortunately, it sits in my garage. I don’t even have a fireplace. <\/p>\n

Located 8.4 miles from Highway 17 (Coastal Highway) in Richmond Hill, Georgia (near Savannah), on a beautiful piece of real estate sits The Back Porch. Whenever I visit my daughter, we visit Darlene. My daughter’s chant on the way there is, “I will not buy anything. I will not buy anything. I will NOT buy anything!” Forget it. The chant does not work.<\/p>\n

Since Ms. Carpenter does not have a website, I promised to put her information on the internet on the EWM blog.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you happen to head north, stop by this wonderful place. Bring you SUV or pickup truck. You’ll need it, and — please tell her you found her on the EWM blog! <\/p>\n
