Photographed at A Southern Season in Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA.
This is the rare wine celler and was originally photographed for a Depth of Field assignment for the 52 in 2015 Group. It never made it as one of my final choices, but it was a real treat to be allowed to enter this wine celler that is climate controlled kept securely locked. These bottles are priced from the low $80's and go up from there.
The lead wine person at A Southern Season was very enthusastic to let me photograph this special location when the store concierge and I explained that I had permission to take photograph in this amazing store for my assignment. Thanks to the team of A Southern Season for this unique opportunity.
WEEK 33 – Carrollton, GA, Target (IV)
This overview shot will serve to close us out for this week, looking back over health and beauty (on the left), kitchenware (on the right), and grocery (in the back). Those aisle markers we discussed are once again visible in this view… I bring them up again because I just saw this photo from our friend [https://www.flickr.com/photos/159030934@N04/], which appears to show a similar style of aisle marker in use at yet another P17 Target store – except they’re flat instead of tri-sided, and in a department that’s not groceries! Indeed, the grocery department in that store got the usual P17 aisle markers… very interesting. If any of you react in the same way, feel free to discuss in the comments below. If not, well then I suppose I have nothing more to say than I hope you stick around for more photos from this store, uploading two weeks from now!
NEXT WEEK – the welcome wall awaits us for our final farewell from the Oakland Kroger…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Retail Retell reports these accent signs in produce are from the Artisan décor package. Thanks Kroger, for making good on my prediction that at least a little bit of Artisan would make it into this remodel!

Mostly 1/12 scale, so the largest pan and colander are about 1". Kate really loved the tiny cupcake pan.
WEEK 35 – Carrollton, GA, Target (V)
Panning to the left, here’s the view looking down the aisles heading toward the former electronics/new kitchenware department. As I noted in a photo title recently, that Home Office sign is no longer accurate. And notice how the red stripe on the floor gives out right about that same area, too.
Besides this (three-year-old, lol) remodel coverage, I feel like I should note that a lot has been going on back home in DeSoto County since I left! For one thing, the Horn Lake Neon Kroger remodel seems like it should’ve wrapped up by now (or else is surely close to being done), and the Southaven Sam's Club remodeled in just a couple weeks, right under everyone’s noses. For future developments in those and any other such arenas, be sure to follow the local flickr folks, l_dawg2000 and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/186821130@N06/]! And I’ll have some stuff from my new area eventually… plus I’ve added those two items to my photography list for whenever I travel back that way XD

I have been working so hard last few weeks, therefore I believe it is ok to buy me something luxury! something I wanted so long from a local zakka store.
They are just great!!! I love the soft blue color, enamel material,rose pattern, what can I ask for more for the kitchenwares?
And that little pure linen cross stich table cloth, love it love it love it.!
So, walking around Warsaw at night, I accidentally found a place with a tower... full of distillates :)

The left view is an unposted one taken just prior to the Sears Laurelwood closing sale starting, and mere days after the closing was announced. The gift registry décor on the floor to ceiling post is very similar to what can be seen in the right view, only not the exact same post. Memphis Retail *did* happen to get a before view of what I believe is this same post my right view is showing, his photo obviously taken well after the closing sale had started. I should have went to the other side of the store (where the blue Land's End posts would have been!), but as stated before, that end is nearly impossible to photograph now. (I think people would frown on me stopping in the middle of Perkins, even in the turn lane, for photos!) And form these views, it looks like that east side of the store may have been gone already anyway :(

Owls for my friend Zeina's owl collection. The bag was made by the lovely and talented Lisa Solomon aka dressform. The owl cookie jar and the musical owls came from e-bay.
WEEK 39 – Covington Kroger Closing, Set 2
I was super-duper excited when I discovered this piece still hanging around the store: it’s the classic Kroger kitchenware décor! Northwest Retail and I were discussing at his blog the other day whether or not décor stuff is still made out of real wood these days; jury’s out on that one, but where this piece is concerned, just looking at it I’m pretty darn sure that this is the real thing. In turn, that also probably suggests its age to the uninitiated; and if you wanted to confirm, you could just flip back to l_dawg2000’s photos of the Southaven Goodman/Getwell Kroger prior to its remodel/expansion, and see that yep, it dates to at least as early as 2004 (assuming the store did, in fact, open with it).
I’m not entirely sure if this store had millennium décor prior to the script remodel – more on that a few photos from now – but if it did, then it’s likely the piece was installed at that point in time. If it didn’t, there’s still the possibility that it was installed new with the 2007 script décor remodel… I’m really not sure on what the exact timeline for this piece would have been, especially since I’m only familiar with it from photos: the Hernando store was evidently too small to have one, and all others have been pretty steadily removed in any remodels. Hence, long story short, why I was very excited to stumble upon this one here – a nice, unexpected surprise :)
Now… I can’t say I absolutely love the font choice, haha! But it’s still a cool piece all the same, with its nice dark wood and many crossing lines creating a neat overhang for the department. It’s worth noting that that Southaven store actually had three of these things in the kitchenware area (not identical, but close), plus an additional supersized one for the reading center (I’d forgotten about that one!) Likewise, what I believe to be the very earliest 2012 décor remodel in our region also has what’s clearly a late evolution of these signs (and is just as clearly made of fake wood – lending credence to our earlier argument!), indicating that they lasted a good long while before finally being retired. While not here in Covington, other stores that had this signage over the years also featured alongside it some hanging pots and pans, which is cool.
Unfortunately this is the only photo I got of it on this visit, for whatever reason. That said, definitely don’t forget it. I want you to keep this thing solidly in mind for when we return in the future for our Naifeh’s post-conversion tour… ;)

and some times those little things add up!
Oh! You have NO idea folks!
This is just the tip of the iceberg!
Another long shelf full, up in the computer room.
The shelf full of Black Shafford Cat kitchenware in the kitchen.
And BOXES of more cat figurines out in the garage.
There are collections within the collection.
There are wooden cats, metal cats, long-necked cats, black cats, absract colorful cats, vintage cats.
It started when I was a kid. I had ONE shelf in my bedroom with a little collection of bone china kitties...........and from there, the collection kept growing.
Years and years of trolling Flea Markets and Thrift Stores,
and the countless cat themed gifts from friends.....it sort of boggles the mind.
At one time, I had this crazy vision of shelving the entire wall of one room and putting the whole army out on display.......but that was a long time ago......I mean, who's gonna dust all of that now?
So, it's probably pretty obvious to you all by now, that I have been battling from a severe form of O.C.D. (Obsessive Cat Disorder) for years now....besides suffering from the urge to want to adopt every cat in distress I come across, this disorder can have other side effects, like picking up every cool looking cat effigy I see and bringing it home.
I rarely pick one up these days. It has to be EXTREMELY unique. After all this time, I think I might finally be starting to get some control over my obsession.!
It has been a fun hobby, but I'm thinking the time has come to start unloading a large majority of them . No sense in keeping them tucked away where nobody can see them.
I'll keep some of the more unique pieces to give to Chloe.
If you're looking for colanders in all the colours if the rainbow then you need to start shopping in Tunbridge Wells. Not only do they have funky kitchen ware but the staff in this shop are more than happy to let you take pictures.
Extremely rare. Highly collectible. Beyond adorable ... Loving heart flowers bloom from a lucky garden of shamrocks or four leaf clovers around the casserole's white body. Super sweet! 1959
Well, this was a test shot after i charged the battery, that's inside my kitchen..a non cooking bachelor's kitchen...sad life...
I love birds! :-)
I FINALLY found the blue 043 oval casserole so to celebrate I photographed some of my birdies. Took this photo a while ago but just got around to posting it.

It's complete! I am so in love with it!
It was truly a team effort to complete this set! I found the 503 and 502 last summer. One of the 501s is from Twin72, and the other I received today from vonlipi's favorites! A big thanks to my trading friends for your help! :D
SET 3 – Goodman/Getwell Kroger, Post-Remodel
In the background of that previous pic, we saw the rear wall of the kitchenware department, which is itself the opposite side of the rear wall of the produce department, up at the front of the store. Those multicolored wood panels we see in this close-up are in fact just the reverse of the same from produce! (As well as the main “Welcome to Kroger Southaven” sign, of course.)
What’s even more interesting than that, though, is the additional hanging panel in front of all of those. Marked “SERVE,” it clearly relates to the kitchenware department; however, its style is not that of Urban Mix décor, but instead – 100% Artisan! See here for a comparison, taken at the Artisan décor Oxford Kroger. I hinted back at this description that the other hanging signs all around produce, a couple of which you can see in the extreme right-hand center of the shot above, also hail from Artisan décor; unfortunately, this break in our photoset is coming at a most inopportune time, as now we’re going to have to get through 15 18 more Morrilton Walmart pics before returning to this store to prove that to you guys. But fear not, as that’s exactly what will happen next time – stick around…!
