Yesterday I shared with you our visit to Antique Archaeology, the new store in Nashville recently opened by American Picker, Mike Wolfe. You might remember that last week, my Wednesday Postcard mentioned a visit to Leiper's Fork. So here's the interesting connection...
The first shop we went into in Leiper's Fork was Serenite Maison. We were immediately drawn to the furniture, antiques, and unusual items. It had that comfortable, welcoming vibe that I find so appealing.
She went on to tell us that Mike has a home in Leiper's Fork, he was in town for two weeks, and was going to Nashville for the music festival. The show was on a break, but filming would resume in a couple weeks. Cool!
This past Saturday, there was an American Pickers marathon on the History Channel and I was watching the episode where Mike and Frank go picking for William Shatner to get items for his study. Since the boys are not interior decorators, they called on a good friend to do that part of the job. The minute I saw who that was, I knew it was Alex Cirimelli, the owner of Serenite Maison!
I immediately called Bec and she didn't even say hello. She yelled, "It's her!" We both laughed and realized that we had met someone from American Pickers and didn't even realize it...LOL. I found this online picture of the two of them...
