Treasure Hunting and Tips for Shopping Scott’s Antique Market

I’m back with part 2 of my trip to Scott Antique Market this month.  Today I’m sharing some of the furniture pieces that caught my eye along with some tips I have for shopping this market.

I mentioned in my last post that Scott Antique Market is made up of two buildings, North and South as well as outdoor vendors at each building.  I can’t even begin to estimate how many vendors show as Scott’s each month but there well over 300. Because of the size of the market, Scott’s has claimed the title as the World’s Largest Indoor Antique Market.  You can find just about anything at Scott’s from rare antiques and silver to antique reproductions and vintage pieces.  And, just like every antique store and flea market around, there is junk to be had as well.

This beautiful wicker and cane chair was a favorite from the show.  The scale large enough so that the chair could be used alone as a cute accent chair.

Treasure Hunting–Scott Antique Market, Feb. 2014

Monday, Monday!  Are you ready to make this week great?  I am!  I’ve got a couple of business meetings this week, lots of projects to work on and more flea market shopping planned for the end of the week.  It’s going to be a busy week and all I can say is that I hope the snow that is predicted for Atlanta doesn’t become the mess it did two weeks ago.

Today I’m sharing some of the great stuff I spotted last week at Scott Antique Market.  It’s no secret I love going to this market and after missing it for two months in a row I was  excited to hit the show and see what treasures were awaiting.  Over all it was a good show. During the early months of the year many of the vendors sit out of the show but despite some empty spaces there was lots of great stuff for sale.

I was a bit camera happy this market so I’m going to break my recap up into two blog post.  Today we’ll be taking a look at the accessories and decorative objects I spotted and later in the week I’ll bring you a recap of the furniture I saw along with some tips for shopping this massive market.

Let’s roll….

These dough bowls are always a hit at Scott’s and even though I already own one, I’m tempted every show to get another. They are well priced, under $100 and are really large.

I loved these fretwork screen panels and think they would look good painted a chippy cream or antique green.  These were available from ‘my guy’ so I can only image the price was great.

More antique dough bowls.

Yes please on this vintage library card file.  Oh how I’d love this for storing my loose beads and jewelry findings.

There is always lots of vintage cookware and kitchen accessories for sale.

This stunning reclaimed wood mirror was $375 and at approx. 7 1/2′ tall that is a great deal.

It must have been typewriter day at Scott’s because I saw so many of them for sale.

Love these wicker Demijohns ($30-$45).  Every show I stop by and admire and have yet to pull the trigger.

Always a selection of classic mirrors.

A beautiful copper pail.  I think copper is going to be the IT finish for 2014.

Original oil painting.

Globes galore.  Some better than others and most overpriced.

I loved this blue wall cabinet.

One of my favorite pillow resources.  They have several bays of pillow covers, sorted by color.

My dear friend Steve has an amazing assortment of beautiful antique accessories and found objects.  These tortoise shells are a fave of mine.

I saw the most amazing collection of shells, coral and starfish this show.

Anyone need antlers?  You’ll find them at Scott Antique Market.

These glass buoys were beautiful.  They would look pretty great in one of those large dough bowls.

Should have picked up a few of these vintage spools.  I they sell well in my Etsy shop and the price was great.  Next time!

Awesome brass parakeet on a stand from Steve’s booth.

Steve also have some great lighting.  These brass and copper pendants were really nice. {check out that wall cabinet too}

And who doesn’t love a vintage pizza board?    Actually it was the fixture that caught my eye but the entire set-up is pretty great.

I’ve mentioned before that the Scott Antique Market takes place the second weekend of every month.  There are two buildings and outdoor spaces as well.  During the colder months I tend to skip the outdoor spaces but you can usually find some good deals there if you’re willing to deal with the weather.

I’ll be back later today with the before and after shots of some of the organizing I’ve done around the house.  When you fall off the organization bandwagon it takes time and energy to get back on!  I’m exhausted but happy to have things in order.
