I want to run a lil' general store. You know, the kind where Ma and Pa Ingalls got their sugar and wheat out of a huge barrel, and Laura ran wild in the penny candy aisle. General stores are fun and quaint, and they remind me of a time when life seemed simpler.
I love these cute little jars from Anchor Hocking Glass. I want to fill them with candy and treats and set them out at my next party with an adorable little silver scoop.
I already have this barrel jar. I haven't gotten a chance to break it in yet, but I plan to use it to dole out frothy lemonade at a cookout this summer. How cute would that be?
I would love-love one of these--but I don't have a real general store and we have no room in our cracker-box house--so it's a no-go:
Even though the charm isn't there, I love Cumberland General Store. They have old-fashioned soaps, foods, glass items, lanterns, clothing, and vintage toys (tiddlywinks and slingshots anyone??) Just looking at this site makes me want to go back to the 1800's.

So you want to own a Cracker Barrel?
Maybe, maybe not. Even if I did, I wouldn't do so on the advice of some lurker who loves stinky subways--the transportation system and/or the sandwich chain.
