Description
Who can still remember the good old grocer's store of the village, there was simply everything that one needed at that time to live, there was also already times the first community telephone, which still functioned with hard money, and the paperboy brought his leftover newspapers on the grocer's store. Today, some of them can still be found in rural areas.
Many thank's for looking!

Yes i remember the good old time the music from the 70. Beautiful image.
excellent
Une merveilleuse scène bravo
Used to go shopping in the fifties - all little shops along the high street, greengrocer, butcher, fishmonger, toy shop, sweet shop - before our local cinema turned into a supermarket ... And the shopkeeper recognised you.
great nostalgic image... might me asking what resource(s) were used for the background "general store"? Tks - Ray
This is a very old background which I got from a friend before almost 10 years, I still have some of them, but I rarely use them! Satisfied???
i remember...love it!
Lovely scene and lovely song to accompany it, very sentimental and "feel good" melody!! Even the kitty is smiling. :)
Sad to see so many things lost to memory - small businesses among them. Used to be a great life to operate a store on the ground floor in a city block and live above. Now the stores need bulletproof glass enclosures to protect the proprietors while cameras film the locals steal with impunity as prosecutors consider even grand theft a misdemeanor....
I've always lived in a big city but I love the picture. I do recall a time when there were more locally owned stores and such when I was a little girl. Mainly this reminds me of s grocery store that I could reach by walking from home to run errands for my mother. Nostalgia is hard to do well and I think you really did very well here! Thank you for sharing your work, Ute.

Yes, I've been in a few old Country Stores. They are fascinating and so much fun to explore. Your scene is perfect! The people are wonderfully posed and they interact with each other well. Bravo!
Je me souviens des odeurs des épices qui flottait, et du gruyère rapé par l'épicière sur une rape à manivelle! Bonne idée et belle image, Ute!
A much pleasanter time, with a simpler way of life! Those were the days! Or at least we remember them that way!
I hope you are having a good day friend!
Ein wundervolles Familienbild.
Lieve Ute, voor mij is dit één van je mooiste creaties. De personages zijn perfect herkenbaar in de oude tijd aan hun kledij, lichaamsbouw en gezichtsuitstraling. Dit was de tijd waarbij je een kind nog blij kon maken met..een appel, fantastisch !!! Of het toen beter was of nu laat ik in het midden. De levensomstandigheden waren slechter dan nu, maar er waren toen ook gelukkige mensen en ongelukkige zoals nu. Bravo voor je prachtig werk !!!
Beste Etienne, ik ben blij dat je deze graphic zo mooi vindt!
Sehr sehrschönes image,wunderbare Idee,fantastic gemacht,gefällt mir super,den ausgewöhlten song von Amy Grant finde ich toll. P.S.: Aus meiner Zeit in den USA habe ich noch einige CD von ihr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Da ich sie digitalisiert habe,werde ich sie jetzt abspielen,danke für das Erinnern an sie.
Wish I could recall lots but with my frazzled memory shoot. Lost so much. Great scene Ute.
But have a few of my small town memories, but the city is much bigger now.
I can remember back then The YMCA and YWCA were a block apart. And a piggly wiggly grocery store.
Beautiful scene, characters and posing/Great details!
Indeed I do... Those were the days... Wonderful memories captured so beautifully in your art, Ute!
Oh yea, it seemed like families were closer and happier. You made a great scene that captures the moment so well. goodnight John boy.
Delightful picture!
Come sì può dimenticare il vecchio droghiere, ricordo che prima di andare a scuola,mia madre mi ordinava un panino con la mortadella,poi nel pomeriggio,quando uscivo, andavo a comprare il latte e le liquirizie di legno.Grazie Ute per avermi fatto ricordare questi semplici e gioiosi momenti. Fantastico lavoro come sempre mia cara amica 👏👍🙋♂️😉
Bello che ti piace anche e che ha risvegliato bei ricordi in te!
Not everything about the "good old days " was necessarily good, but I do miss the old fashioned community stores.... Lovely work, great atmosphere and detail.
Reminds me of a Norman Rockwell illustration. Very nicely done!
A lovely view into a much happier past. Well done.
I love this vintage look of this scene! The background image is perfect for it :-)
Einfach nemmen herrlech an dén aalenn Hannerground angefügt!
yes, I do remember those days. (I'm 73, this month, I remember when milk was delivered to your door, in glass bottles...and we returned the empty bottles when we were through.) A charmed and magical image, with every generation in it; and a mother holding an apple. (There was a time when an apple represented wholeness.) I love the details in the background. And, as always, I love your costumes. Great dress on the mosther, a beautiful pink dress on the grandmother, a big flare-dress on the little girl, and a great suspender-outfit on the young man. (Plus I love that cap.) A charmed reminder of times past. You even have an old trumpet back there, and a bag of tea. I mean a 1 LB bag! You don't see that anymore...a delight.
