I love that scent, and especially in the hot humid summer - I have really oily skin - it's my favorite soap!<br /><br />And the smell reminds me of childhood -- well, the good parts of childhood. *LOL*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088172921680891378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1891352377188290182009-12-29T19:55:00.361-06:002009-12-29T19:55:00.361-06:00Thanks for the info!

I am currently cataloging all the items from the Martin Drug store that have not been unpacked. I have one bar of Flotilla and wanted you to know that when you come back to LMP it should be on display with other soaps, medicines, and cosmetics. I am an immigrant to Dothan from North Alabama so I was really interested in your comments.<br />dr.lydr.lyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306130915628896916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-57683437540366037142008-06-02T07:20:00.000-05:002008-06-02T07:20:00.000-05:00Anne-Marie, the guy running the place was a real h...Anne-Marie, the guy running the place was a real hoot too.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I don't blame you, LOL.Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-40525190004112854772008-05-29T10:15:00.000-05:002008-05-29T10:15:00.000-05:00LOVE those antique stores!

Goes together with a certain scent you don't find in stores anymore either (even in this one).<BR/><BR/>Karl, I imagine they are around but just very few and far-between. We stepped into a really cool old place in Maine once but I couldn't tell you where... we were just making a pit stop!<BR/><BR/>KF, yeah downtown is where places like that are going away fast. You know I've never been to Macon, but I want to one of these days.<BR/><BR/>Bill, I was surprised to find that they still made those!<BR/><BR/>FC, I shudder to think at what you'll use for seeds. Or fertilizer either, for that matter. ;)<BR/><BR/>NCMW, it was free too! The conference gave us a coupon. :)<BR/><BR/>For the record, the BEST peach ice cream is at Peach Park in Clanton. The exit off I-65 that's marked by the Big Butt. (Supposed to be a peach, but everybody calls it the Big Butt.)Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-72613741363982482212008-05-16T08:50:00.000-05:002008-05-16T08:50:00.000-05:00I do so love the old stores and I'm glad that peop...I do so love the old stores and I'm glad that people restore them to their original state.

I loved going in there looking at all the goodies and buying stuff that you just don't see or can find anymore.
