    About this ebook

    "Old Ladies Are Antique Little Girls", by Egretta Wells, is a gem of memories from an antique shop. Egretta, with another grandmother, opened a lively little corner antique shop in Okeechobee, Florida, where they met fascinating people from many walks of life. Often humorous, her book is full of laughable incidents, adventures, and a few misadventures of two older ladies who are really antique little girls.

    Egretta Wells graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BS degree in Art Education, minoring in Fine Art Painting and English. She has owned several retail businesses, while pursuing a career in painting. Egretta and another grandmother found it never too late to open a thriving and fun antique shop in a small town in Florida.
