Autumn Harvest At Brewster General

Description
Something just for fun at harvest time, Halloween and the first days of autumn. The basic image of this enchanting wagon is one I took myself in late September 2010 while visiting a dear friend in Cape Cod. The Brewster General Store is a must stop and see highlight - you'll find nickelodeons playing old-timey songs, unusual hard to find things, antiques and some of the best ice cream anywhere! Image has been altered and textured in Photoshop Elements with textures from Shadowhouse creations and SolStock on Flickr and a pumpkin PNG file from Dani3D of DeviantArt.

Brewster Store still has all the charm of a nineteenth century general store. Located on Route 6A in Brewster, Massachusetts, the 156-year-old structure was built as a church in 1852. The building was converted to a general store in 1866 and has continued to serve the needs of the local residents and visitors to the Cape for more than 140 years.
Today, after five owners, The Brewster Store still features a broad, but unique assortment of merchandise - great coffee, pastries and morning newspapers, penny candy, t-shirts and sweatshirts, toys, hard-to-find lamp parts, kitchen gadgets, original Coke in glass bottles, books, greeting cards and many unusual gifts from the past and present. And yes, we still carry groceries and dairy products. Put a quarter in the old nickelodeon to hear an old time tune, enjoy some of our own roasted peanuts, or just sit on the benches in front of the store and watch the world go by. If you come by in the winter, warm yourself by the old coal stove.
In March of 1990, the entire store was emptied and the structure was re-enforced from the basement to the second floor. This was the first major refurbishment since 1866. The Boyds also hired a local craftsman, who spent three months painstakingly restoring the six remaining second floor church windows. The Second Floor or THE HALL was reopened in June of 1990. It now contains a broad selection of lovely merchandise not available on the first floor, the old Brewster Post Office, a miniature reproduction of The Brewster Store, more advertising antiques, a collection of World War II posters, an antique wooden cranberry separator, and a waterline metal ship diorama of Kiel Harbor in 1938.
In June of 1993, the shed at the back of the Brewster Store was renovated and opened as The Brewster Scoop, the Brewster Store's own ice cream parlor. Serving delicious old-fashioned ice cream, The Brewster Scoop is open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, from six in the morning to ten in the evening.

Great work.This reminds me Pebballo Picasso saying,you may know,God has created Man and Nature In olden days. Man used to transport his burdens from one place to another by his feet. They used to walk long distance by walk..But an Artist out of his imagination created a well so that one can move any where.I like your wheels and its tone.L/F

I remember my days in my teenage where I felt for the first time the Essence of Halloween. And the pumpkin creatures visioning our awe towards the darkness that is starting to get heavy on our hearts. I love this carriage , and the joy you have brought to the whole composition, bursting out in golden-red color, and inviting us to participate in the harvest. So much materially as spiritually. Precious piece, Lianne. Rosa

GORGEOUS! Wow, this picture has all those great Autumn elements. I like how the scarecrows aren't scary! I love the texture and the wagons, and how the pumpkins still have their vines attached. Thanks for all your wonderful visits and votes and lengthy comments Lianne. I have been absent from the FAA, and am trying to catch up on all the wonderful things and comments you leave me. They are always appreciated, and like opening little presents every time I get one from you! FVG+ Happy October to you my friend!
Lianne Schneider replied:
Never ever worry about "catching up" Kym - your work delights my soul. This isn't about being "even Steven" hon - I need to take time off frequently myself - can feel myself heading for a hiatus soon! If you had any idea the joy you and your work bring into my life, you'd know that that's all the thanks I'd ever need - just one more image to smile over!!!!!!! Thank YOU!!!
