Graye's Greenhouse

 We still call it Mrs. Graye's and probably always will, but this beautiful place is now under new ownership. 

Sad, that the family will no longer be there when we visit, but happy that the new owner will be continuing to operate this fantastic place.

 The day we visited, an estate sale was being held and this was my favorite thing to take home.
I also got some lovely vintage crochet and sheet music and old photographs.
This little worn book was in with some other items.  I love it, it is the words of Jesus, the four gospels and was owned by Margaret Plumsteel. It has notations in the front and back of it.  I can imagine how much she treasured it.

I have often written about Graye's Greenhouse on Joy Road, if you love succulents, it is the place to go. We are so happy, it is going to continue and grow.

It is very cold here in Michigan.  I hope you are warm.

You are so right - she hand wrote the words of Jesus. Amazing.

Such sweet finds.... I always love old sewing notions...but that book is just precious.... Glad to hear one of your favorite haunts will be carrying on... It’s cold here too...but going to get worse... First snow (only 6” thankfully they are saying), but then winds (surprise surprise) and then “high” temps in the negative digits... Can we please fast forward to summer??? Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (Hope you remember me....I know it’s been a long, long, while.... Oh...and Happy 2019!)

It's very cold here too. We are in the deep freeze for sure. Nice new owners took over the greenhouse. Hope you continue to enjoy it just as much. Think Spring and keep warm!

To help you prevent snoring Play Bazaar you should change the position in which you sleep. When you sleep on your back it is said to cause people to snore. So switching positions can reduce or eliminate snoring. Instead of sleeping on your back, try sleeping on your side or stomach to prevent you from snoring.Satta King
