Please let us know what you think. We can’t wait to hear from you virtual shoppers!

These are copies of old Easter cards. Melamine trays are perfect for decorating or for serving those inevitable deviled eggs!

I believe that one either loves Hummells or doesn’t get it. To me these are perfectly dear. We have several of these Goebel figurines at In Due Time right now. Some have nice old marks. Goebel was nice enough to change it’s marks regularly and the year each was produced is carefully documented. This little guy is holding his lamb — and wearing his daddy’s slippers!

This is a WOW of a find! A great LANCE cabinet with all it’s original glass. In a primitive bathroom, wouldn’t this make a fabulous medicine cabinet?!? How about your favorite antique kitchen implements on a nice farm kitchen wall. Red is just so — RED! Makes a great statement, doesn’t it?!?!

Another great new item is this baseball lamp by Don Hancock. On a piece of nice old heart pine, here is a vintage Mike Schmidt baseball bat. The knob has been cut off just to hold your glove! Great addition to a sport theme bedroom or den.

As you can see we are ready for that day where, with a thoughtful gift, you can say, ‘You are special to me!’ We have prepared our shop with the cutest of Bearington Bears! There is one guy in his silk boxer shorts with pink hearts, that will show his love with the throbbing of his heart! There is also The Bandit of Love! Does a little pink and white Angel-Bear with a halo, say I Love You? We have one!! There are several adorable Valentine’s bears just waiting to be found by you!!

To show you how much we appreciate you, our loyal customers, we are asking you to enter our drawing for a nice Valentine gift — ’cause we love you! Come in and register anytime between now and Valentine’s Day. We will be looking for you!!

I sound just like Dorothy, but sometimes we go looking for treasure and find it right in our own backyard! Right here in little ol’ Moultrie, GA we have an artist who puts together unusual frames and original paintings. The frames have often begun life as doors, windows, cup or hat racks, storm windows, or any old thing that grabs her eye. Jeanie Merritt has been painting for as long as she has memory, but a few years ago, she has started putting her paintings in our shop, In Due Time, Moultrie, GA. She has painted cats, horses, vegetables, flowers, barns, more cats, rabbits,roosters, chairs, you name it! Her colors are cheery and bright, her subject matter is diverse and interesting.

Well, we made it home from Hamilton, AL just before Christmas! We brought back a truck load of Jerry Brown Pottery. I had a terrible time selecting what I would bring back. Certainly, every piece would have looked great at our shop! Of course, we had to have some face jugs, a chicken jug or two, some bowls, some pitchers, some…well, you see my predicament, I am sure! Lots of nice items sold before Christmas, but here are some photos of delightful pieces still at In Due Time.

This week we will be headed to Alabama to pick up a truckload
of Jerry Brown pottery. Jerry Brown is a national treasure. As the country’s oldest pottery family, Jerry Brown makes pottery the old fashioned way. An assortment of utilitarian items, bowls and crocks, as well as his famous face jugs and chicken jugs, is what we hope to be bringing back to In Due Time this week. Come in and we should have everything in place by Thursday, December 13th, on the square in Historic Downtown Moultrie, GA.

Some collections are easier to display than others.  I have seen wonderful marbles or pocketknives tucked in a drawer because it’s hard to find a good way to show them off.  DreamWorks makes these nifty pocket knife racks from our old heart pine.  We also make a similar item with little indents in the bars to show that antique marble collection! These cost only $22.00 and are available at In Due Time in historic downtown Moultrie, GA.
