I know we have some Kentucky girls here, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
The movie "Elizabethtown" has a lot of sentimental meaning for my husband and I, and last night when we were watching it for like the 100th time, my husband mentioned actually visiting Elizabethtown on a vacation this year. In the movie it seemed like a pretty small place - maybe not much to do. Does anyone know what it is like, and if it would be a good place to visit? Or has anyone stayed in the Brown Hotel in Louisville? Part of the movie takes place there.
We thought if it is a good place to see we might stop there on our way to Memphis, TN, which is also in the movie and where I have family.
And if you've never seen the movie, I can highly recommend it! |

Jonnie the scenery there is wonderful, I have done many antique shoes there and have several friends there every one has their own opinions of a place, like you in my opinion the customer comes first, I would never visit a shop the second time if the shop keeper was rude,I try to be kind to every one but some people just wont let you, I feel like if I go in a store it is not my place to be the kindness doctor , it is the store owners , and my place to respond with kindness, anything short of that I can spend my money else where

Frannie, is your part time job as a preacher ?
I completely understand your point of view, and shop keepers as well and having worked in retail most of my adult life as an extra job, I've been on the receiving end of PLENTY of ugly, and working in the legal field I see and deal with ugly all the time and yes, killing people with kindness does often work, but sometimes it just doesn't and it can really be defeating. That day was a great day for us until we went there--they completely deflated our adventure--selfishly, I really do care about me sometimes, but not very often. The baby was sleeping against his mother's chest in a wrapped harness and no feet visible. Couldn't they have engaged my friend a little, too, instead of whispering like old hens behind the counter and staring holes through us? We said hello and smiled when we entered and it just didn't matter--and after so long of being made to feel uncomfortable, my friend gave them a perfect opportunity to be honest but they didn't take it....I'm really not a bad person, Frannie---Probably I shouldn't have called them "bats" but it was better than the alternative, being in a southern town and all and being a lady...but I did. And, to be frank, for all the of good that I do in a days time for almost everyone else in this world, telling two gals like it is really doesn't make a big dent in my armor.
I truly hope that you all have a great time in Bardstown on your excursion, I know that you will show the farmgirls the highlights and they will love it...but I'm still on the fence, and probably will be until I find something to redeem it...Our map still says it "sucks" and I'm not likely to get out my eraser tonight and go to the car.
You have fought valiantly, Sir Frannie, the village of Bardstown and its shopkeepers should award you with the greatest of honors--
I am now, to bed :).

jonni gurlfren .. i remember years ago .. i would take my children and grandchildren antiquing with me .. to antiques shoppes and to antiques shows. and sometimes the 'owners' seemed quite nervous and sometimes would 'hover' .. i would always look at them and smile and engage them in conversation .. and bring my children into the conversation .. my children .. all their childhood lived with antiques .. had antique furniture and toys in their bedrooms and all through the house .. and helped me with the antique china at our tea parties .. i would find something that i knew my child had 'good knowledge' of .. and have them share this information with the 'nervous' shopowner .. and i swear .. EVERY TIME .. they won them over.
only once in all those years, did a woman curtly tell me she didn't want my child to touch anything. i chose to 'win her over' too .. rather than to be offended .. after all she wasn't really mad at ME .. i realized she was just nervous about her expensive antiques and probably colored by experiences she had had with children in her shoppe (and some adults too). again .. i smiled at her .. held my daughter's hand .. and told her that i truly did appreciate her apprehension with children in her shoppe handling her very expensive antiques. and i promised her i would hold my child's hand and we would both be very careful and treat everything in her shoppe as if it were our own. BINGO!! she became friendly towards us.
(i have been on both sides of the fence .. both as a shopper and a dealer .. and if someone does break something .. and children do indeed have a reputation for being 'little bulls in a china shoppe' .. after all .. most kids are probably DRAGGED antiquing and are bored and unhappy and restless .. and IF they break something .. we say "SORRY" and walk on .. while the dealer might be stuck with the chards of a $200. irreplaceable crystal vase.
in several shoppes i've owned over the years .. i had a big rug .. with children's antique table and chairs .. crayons, coloring books, arts and crafts supplies .. cookies and punch .. with a big sign that said: CHILDREN ONLY .. NO ADULTS ALLOWED! the kids LOVED this .. their parents LOVED it too .. it kept their children busy and gave them a chance to shoppe.
i am truly not making excuses for 'rude people'. but i try very hard to look beyond the rudeness to WHY they feel the need to act the way they do. i put myself in their place as much as i can .. and KNOW that i can never know all their experiences that have led them to be 'rude'. is there truly one among us that has not at some time or other found ourselves 'grumpy' .. and treated a stranger (waiter/waitress .. customer .. co-worker .. family member .. friend, etc. etc. with curtness. that is NOT who we ARE .. it is just a 'mood' we are in at the time .. and WE are unhappy at the time and have made someone else unhappy too. I will not allow myself to be dragged down and mad at these people .. cuz' .. think about it .. when we do .. WE HAVE HANDED THEM THE VICTORY!!! a complete stranger has ruined what could have been a beautiful day for us! and we carry it within us for so long telling the story over and over and over and getting madder and madder and madder .. and WE are the ONLY person that truly hurts the most. (the stranger we'll probably never even ever see again in this lifetime. AND .. if we looked at them differently and treated them differently .. our kindness might just rub off on them too. i belong so very strongly in the 'golden rule' .. do unto others as you would have them do unto you. i think we cannot lose in life by following this 'rule'. and then the story (and possibly friend) that we carry with us .. is how our love made someone seemingly 'unloveable' .. happy and loveable.
there are probably some people who simply shouldn't be 'shop-owners' .. there are some people who probably shouldn't be 'teachers' of our children .. they just don't have what seems to be the 'personality' for it. but the world is full of people with these communication problems .. and i believe we only exacerbate it and escalate it .. by mirroring their actions. and if we 'live in love' as god intended .. those around us .. our children, our friends, our families .. and indeed strangers .. will carry THAT story and 'pay it forward'.
Jonni .. if someone doesn't speak to you first .. speak to them .. smile at them .. ask them a question .. engage them in conversation .. compliment them. I SWEAR .. i have NEVER seen this fail .. except with truly 'mean-spirited' people. And those .. we cannot change no matter how big our smile is .. no matter how genunine our heart is .. and if we truly try this loving approach and it still doesn't work ... then simply smile .. genuinely tell them to have a nice day and walk on. (lordy! we don't know what might be making them act the way they are) .. and if we give them two or three more chances .. and they don't SEE our loving hearts .. well, there are lots of other shoppes to spend our pennies in!

In all my destinations, I've found shopkeepers that are kind and shopkeepers that aren't...It's called customer service, and to my knowledge, I don't have to "chat someone up" so they'll be kind to me...they just should be anyway because I've taken the time to come into their establishment over countless others just like theirs and possibly plunk down some money. Either you want to make a sale or you don't, and a little courtesy goes a long way. Those "ladies" treated my friends and I like dirt, Frannie, and while I was raised in a christian household, I was also taught not to be a doormat. My father went to stores with paint on his pants and said, "my money will spend anywhere" and he was right. I noted that they weren't in business when we went back a last summer, so you're right...that Karma thing was cookin' right up a storm!

Jonni - I was recalling your memory of going to the Brown Hotel. Any time we go to Louisville, we always got greeted with "My pleasure" from any of the hotel staff. They sure know how to greet people and have always been nice and so helpful.
Jessie - If you make your way south towards Memphis, I highly recommend giving Wilma a holler. She is just a little off the beaten path. She can tell you some of the best places to visit up and down I-65. Springtime is the best time to come to Kentucky. The flowers are just superb and beautiful. Nothing like the dogwoods and flowers blooming right around Derby weekend. Aww now I'm wishing for spring again!

Frannie, I've not been to your friend's place, though you speak of her and the business highly. I've only been to "Bardstown" proper, on the main drag, so to speak, and each time it's been a bit "different" in the uncomfortable factor. The happiest I've ever been was in the bookshop on the other side of the street, on the corner. Very nice people in there! There was one time in particular that I went with a group of girlfriends (one of which had a 2 month old infant). We went into an antique store, noone bothered to speak to us (there were 2 female clerks) and the WHOLE time, the women followed my friend with the baby around, hovering over her, until finally my friend said "I'm sorry was there something you wanted to ask me?" And they scampered away like little mice...I overheard them talking about how babies really shouldn't be brought into such a store because of all of the breakables. Well, at 2 months old and asleep in a harness, I was pretty sure their "old" stuff was safe. I'm not one to keep my mouth shut when warranted, and so I said, "you old bats can sit on this stuff still it turns to dust. I'll never come back and will make sure that other people know how welcoming you are to visitors to your town!" They didn't say a word, which I found funny because they had so much to say behind our backs....Needless to say, it put a definite damper on the rest of our shopping and "girl" time. We half heartedly went into other stores that just weren't really up to par--glassware that wasn't really old and yes, prissy stuff. Overpriced too, because it was "Bardstown"...I've been going to shows and auctions since I was a babe, so it was fairly insulting--just touristy....But, I don't look like anybody and I probably didn't look like I had a dime, either (but I did :) and given the right item, I would have spent it in a SECOND!!! Sounds like the cabin place is the one that Hannah mentioned earlier in her post...might be worth a trip to do that...and eat at the old tavern. I've been to My Old Kentucky Home and it was lovely, and I've done the Civil War Museum which was good but gory, and a few other places around town. It's a neat place, but not one that I would spend time shopping in, unless I knew of some different places than the mainstream. We've gone back several times and each time it's just....blah. Unfortunately (the shopping portion) has never redeemed itself for me.
We take Bardstown Road all the way to Mammoth Cave when we go, so maybe this summer I'll hit your "choice" spots, Frannie. I love our state, and it would be nice to feel better about one of the oldest towns in it.

And remember, you are surely welcome to spend some nights here at our cabins. (We'll be on vacation Feb. 23 - March 4) .. but if you are ambling through other than those times .. as the 'shakers' would say: WE MAKE YOU KINDLY WELCOME!

I have found friends in the most 'unlikely' places .. i find that women who 'seem' to be stuffy .. truly are just like all of us .. if we get to know them as friends. Everyone has something to contribute to our lives .. if we give them the chance.
One of the most beautiful and wealthy women i have ever known was not given a chance by other women in our 'circle' .. (she was a RUGBY wife .. a professional ballerina .. and married to an extremely wealthy, handsome man) Most of the other rugby wives (who were indeed good people) thought she was 'stuck up' .. and usually only gave her a 'cursory' hello .. and then went and sat in cliques during the games.
These women became friends of mine before i ever met this breath-takingly beautiful woman .. who certainly seemed to 'have it all'! i decided to not listen to anyone's opinon of her .. when i first met her .. i went to her with a big smile ..she was not stuck up .. she was 'apprehensive' because of the way most women reacted to her .. i sat beside her .. we chatted and laughed and i got to know her very well. She told me that she was genuinely hurt because other women didn't seem to like her. And it made her sad. Her 'reaction' was to 'withdraw' and the other women saw that as 'stuck-upedness' HA .. there's a word i probaby made up! I ADORED her .. and literally took her by the hand by the end of the game .. and brought her into the circle of friends .. we all went to the rugby party afterwards .. and the women realized that she was just painfully shy .. (and quite honestly, i do believe the 'green-eyed monster' played a big role in them not liking her .. as it often does when we decide not to like a nice person). But they all saw her as a 'friend' after that day.
I think sometimes we have to set aside our ideas of WHY we think someone is reacting the way they do toward us. To NOT take it personally .. wowzer! that's a lesson i learned early in life .. and what peace and understanding it has led to in my own life. And i think of all the people we meet .. there is a potential friend in those we least expect to become a 'true friend'. AND those that do not warm up to us .. well, that is o.k. too. Choose to not dislike them because they don't "seem" to like who we are .. be wonderfully comfy in your own skin .. Just smile and walk on to the zillion other people out there who do appreciate you for who you are.
If you are a genuinely nice person .. and someone does not like you .. well .. it ain't YOU honey .. BELIEVE THAT!
and don't take it personally! they are probaby working out some 'karma' in this lifetime!
gosh .. i guess this whole thread has gotten 'off topic' .. but as always .. one thought sometimes leads us down other roads.
gurlz .. the next time you run into someone who you don't seem to like (for WHATEVER reason) .. set it aside .. and treat them as you would want to be treated. (that's what the 'good book' tells us to do.

Jonni - let me see if it is at our movie rental place here. Maybe we can do a "chat along" on here. Any other gals care to join us? Jessie since the movie is fresh on your mind, we could give you little "tidbits" and such of info that I've known from the movie. I'm a trivia nut and usually remember some of the smallest details or funny things with movies or things.

jonni .. i only know KATHY (SUGARBUCKET ANTIQUES) .. and i know for a fact that you surely couldn't have stopped there .. she is precious and friendly and kind .. AND .. the BEST! (she is on a side street FLAGET .. a wonderful primitive shoppe .. you really must go there next time. (be sure to tell her "Frannie sent me". i've shopped in the other shoppes in Bardstown and honestly didn't get the same impression you did. I don't know the shop owners by name .. but .. I'm a 'chatter' so maybe i won them over. I don't stop in the shopppes on main street too often for antiques cuz' they have too many 'prissies' for me .. but every now and then if i have extra time .. i'll run in .. and do indeed, occasionally find something special. And lordy knows, i don't fit the 'wealthy person' looking mold! Have you been to My Olde Kentucky Home? It is beautiful and i take lots of visitors there and they all love it. AND .. if you love PRIM ... have you been to the log cabin village in Bardstown? And oh my gosh .. the museums are delightful.
If you are truly uncomfy or unhappy in a place .. it is just as well to not re-visit it .. but lordy! i love bardstown and all its wonderfulness!
I'm taking the Cabin Fever Gurlz there .. i'll be curious to see their reactions to it too.
Amy. Joy, Robin and Luna (from the forum here) are among the girls. I'm bettin' they're gonna' have a fun day there. xo

I'm running - Wilma is after me with a switch thanks to Hannah! haha. They have NOTHING on Wilma's good cooking that's for sure.
Irish Acres is more formal but they have some very pretty and formal antiques, something that you might see in the Governor's Mansion instead of my house. I prefer to have the true primitives and farmhouse items. Their antiques are pretty to look at, but a little pricey for me. The drive is pretty out that way too. The big difference is that the ladies down there are friendly down there. My buddies and I were thinking about going down there for lunch sometime.
Oh - back to Elizabethtown...lord we've went from talking about the movie to talking about Wilma's apple pies!! haha. I've been thinking about renting this again, but I don't know. Maybe to pull out all of the KY references in it. It would be funny to have a "movie discussion" while watching a movie at the same time.

Yep, that's what I remembered. Beautiful grand scale antiques for large planation style and victorian homes. Like I said, just not something this little cottage could contain :) I know what dressed to the nines means, and usually, all that glamour translates into "oblivious" Silly people wanting to paint things!!!

yes Jonni, Irish Acres is very formal and seems like I remember being told that they do alot of Interior Decorating for all the huge, formal homes in that area. Those of us who are die-hard country primitive just can't get into that and vs....always remembered doing a show in Virginia onetime and we had an absolutely wonderful early woodbox in orig. paint, never had one like it before. Well, along came this woman dressed to the 'nines' (does anyone know just what that means?) and we wondered why she was even looking at it...she bought it for her kid's for a toy box and asked Art if he thought it would look good painted blue? It was very expensive! But that is what people who like formal do with early, painted primitives....YIKES!

I've not been to Irish Acres, but have passed by on our travels down many country roads. I looked it up online and it appeared to be more formal antiques, is that right Jessie and Hannah? There's nothing wrong with that, but our little cottage can only take so much :)

You can't describe it, can you? Now it's not Hannah's Primitive Wonderland but certainly to be appreciated.

Oh yes - Jonni did you get to try Sterl's big biscuit? He makes the absolute BEST biscuit around. And I mean ONE huge biscuit! haha. And Wilma's strawberry jelly straight off the vine is something that I loved to eat while growing up. While in college, my fridge was full of those strawberry jelly jars.
Ya'll mentioned fried apple pies and Sonic now has those apple pie dipper thingies. They look good - nothing like Wilma's, but looks good to try.
Our favorite small town diner has closed up shop here. Really sad I have to say as we loved having breakfast there. I love small town restaurants. Nothing like em!

MMMMM, Jonni. Fried apple pies. I used to get those here in town at a great place called Catfish Haven. It's a fishing lake with a restaurant attached. Great folks run it. The mom of the owner's wife cooks and she had to stop making the fried apple pies because they didn't sell enough. :( I guess I just couldn't eat them fast enough or often enough to keep up with her! :D
