Historic Floods 2010...Three French Hens is BACK!

Well actually...we never left!

How odd that I would use a "water" reference in my one and only post ...then almost exactly one year later we would face historic floods in our great city. As a native Nashvillian it is a very sad event to endure. SO MANY of our people are affected. Some losing a few things to many losing everything. I never thought a hurricane could hit Tennessee but it may as well had-the results are all the same. While being incredibly sad I am also so very proud to call myself a Tennessean. To see our community join together to help one another-we come by our name as the "Volunteer State" very honest and graciously. We will overcome this ! Please keep our wonderful citizens in your prayers-the recovery will be long BUT we will recover. Thank you so very much.

As to Three French Hens we did have approximately one inch of water in many areas of the lower level of our almost one hundred year old building. Fortunately for us the old building is not level so the water receded about as fast as it came in when the rain finally stopped. We had a bit of a mess to clean up but did not lose anything so we were very fortunate.

Thank you for following and supporting us-you are very appreciated.

Above is a small vision of what Nolensville Tennessee endured.... no more water references from this hen!

Happy -beautiful visions coming very soon. Have a great day.

Three French Hens Grand Opening

Wow...hello world-Three French Hens is open for business........and blogging !
It is hard to believe I have gone from engulfing myself around beautiful blogs for a long time to now having our own. Follow your dreams and leave those fears behind-a moto I am trying to live by more and more each day and is today ever proof of that. I am not the most computer literate passenger on this boat of life so this if a bit un-nerving . I suppose you could say I have just jumped in without the life jacket-up the creek without the paddle but am happy to leave the fear on the bank to see where this current takes me.

Now let me tell you of my newest dream come true-the opening of a wonderful antiques-decorating and gifts store in quaint historic Nolensville Tennessee called THREE FRENCH HENS.

My business partner and myself set out on this dream on April 1 and on June 6th our Grand Opening came to fruition and what a huge success it was. Many thanks to our regular customers and new found friends that discovered our charming home away from home-it was a very blessed day.

A little history on our wonderful setting-the building was constructed in1921 by the Williams family and was a Chevy dealership. The building is two stories tall however the unique twist to the story is that the lower level was the mechanics area and the car showroom was on the second story. There remains a door on the back side of the building that is on a pulley system that would open and then a ramp was put up to drive a car upstairs. An amazing thought that I ponder each and every time I am in the great old building.

I look forward to sharing our journey at Three French Hens. If your ever in the area stop on by and give us a visit. Have a wonderful day-leave your fears behind-but if you see me floating wildly downstream could you throw me a rope???????
