THE MONKEY BASKET in Old Town Helena...Gift Baskets, Candles & Gourmet Food Items
Old Town Helena has a lot of interesting shops in it's historic business district, and one of my favorites is The Monkey Basket.
Owned and operated by my friend Judy Ellington, the shop is filled with lots of fun gift items, but gift baskets are her specialty. Whatever the occasion, Judy can create the perfect basket and send it anywhere you like.
Having a party? The Monkey Basket can help you with party needs and gifts.
Judy features a selection of fine quality candles made by Tyler Candle Company. They come in a variety of sizes and scents and smell wonderful!
The Monkey Basket also has a nice selection of gourmet food items. There are kits for making a bunch of different flavored cheese balls that have caught my eye. After Judy described how easy they are to make I am ready to try them all out, but it will take a while because there are so many to choose from.
So the next time you are having a party, need to send a gift for a special occasion, or just want to hang out, come by and visit Judy at The Monkey Basket. She is a lot of fun and you will enjoy meeting her!
Judy's shop hours are Monday - Thursday from 11 am - 7 pm, Friday from 11 am - 8 pm, and Saturday from 9 am - 5 pm.

Family Dining on Buck Creek at THE DEPOT DELI & GRILL in Old Town Helena AL
When you drive through Old Town Helena it's easy to tell that The Depot Deli & Grill is a tremendously popular place from all the cars in their parking lot. Serving everything from hot dogs to grilled specialty sandwiches, this is a family friendly place in the middle of the Old Town Helena business district on the banks of Buck Creek. You can dine inside or enjoy the view of the creek and waterfall from the covered dining patio. If you talk to anyone who lives or works in Helena you are sure to get a "thumbs up" review of The Depot! Click here to check out their menu.
The building itself has quite a bit of history surrounding it. Moved to its present location in 1999, it is one of the oldest structures in town. Originally located just north of the present railroad crossing, The Helena Freight House & Depot was built around 1872 by the South and North Alabama Railroad Company. Just about everyone and everything coming into or leaving Helena passed through this depot. It survived a major fire in 1895, a tornado in 1933 and numerous floods.
Located at the intersection of Highway 261 and Lake Davidson Lane in Old Town Helena, The Depot Deli & Grill is easy to find. It's right next to the bridge over Buck Creek and across from the The Red Caboose and the railroad tracks.

"My first time home buying experience was great. Ann was very patient and helpful in finding a home that I could enjoy and afford. She understood what I was looking for and worked relentlessly to find a house based on that description. She was always available to go out and look and to gather information. The end result is that she found a house that I could afford and was beyond my expectations. I would definitely recommend her."
Ward and Celeita Snow
"The care, dedication and personal concern shown to us during the pre-purchase, pre-financing and eventual closing of our loan must be recognized. Ann immediately went into action, helping locate the right home. You would think because of her actions she was the home buyer. Ann was very careful to every detail. When a bump in the process appeared, she offered to drive to Montgomery, AL to assist in resolving the issue. Now that we are settling in our new home, she remains vigilant and continues to email and call us, and responds to any of our requests. This is service before, during and after the sale. I will be a person of reference for her for many years to come."
