An article appearing in the Busy Bee Trader (busybeetrader.com) in Vol.10, No. 4 April 2007 issue featured Faithful Places Antiques. Here are a few exerts from that article: 

"She started her booth about a year ago, and was first advised to offer a variety of merchandise, including furniture. But it was the religious pieces that most attracted people and soon Teal was doing something apparently unique to the Nashville antique scene dealing in the divine."
 
"Teal has bought everything from rosary beads to a church's hand carved interior wood trim to even a one-room schoolhouse - which is destined to be converted into a chapel. But more importantly than the merchandise is the chance to interact with her clients and be a part of their spiritual journey."


A wonderful article reflecting the ideas we employ is found in the spring 2008 edition of At Home an Oprah Magazine.  The article is about Oprah's Retreat - where she goes to get away from it all.  It is not overtly spriritual but I bet if you asked Oprah it is a place that speaks to her spirituality and soul.  This retreat is on a grand scale but we can help you create a sacred space within your budget.

I recently visited the coolest place in Fairview, TN and wanted to give a shout out about it - Nashville Natives - 1-615-579-7146.  This nursery specializes in TN wildflowers and whats even cooler is they are the nursery to go to for Live Roof gardens.  Volunteer Gardner featured a large commercial site roof garden design and implementation they completed and for that design they won a gold LEED award.  So please go check them out - Nashvillenatives.com

The Quiet Center at Glendale UMC
"we are all good at giving, but we, as individuals and as a church, have lost the art
of receiving from God, of sitting in God's presence alone or with a companion on
the journey with nothing to do but receive the amazing experience of God's love and 
healing."
