Last Friday, I headed to Scott Antique Market to do a little antique and vintage shopping.
Scott Antique Market is one of the leading antique markets in the country and has just about anything in the way of antiques and vintage items you can think of.
The Scott market is held the second weekend of every month, and I try my best to be there. I wrote about one of my trips to Scott here and about another visit here.
On this trip I had vintage silver plate on my shopping list and was also keeping an eye out for vintage jewelry and other great vintage items that I could sell in my shop. While I didn’t come home with any silver pieces, I did find some cool stuff. Check out my latest haul treasure hunting…
1933 Pillsbury Balanced Recipes Cookbook with metal box cover. I’ve never seen a cookbook like this and am amazed at the unique cover and interior recipe cards. Since I’m not a big cook, this beauty will be heading to the shop for sale.
1940’s Seltzer Bottle. What a great addition to a bar or beverage center!
Vintage Petite Cut Crystal Dome. I just couldn’t pass up this beautiful piece. I think it would be great just as a display piece or perfect to sit atop a beautiful silver tray.
Set of 30 German Pie and Tart Tins. I’ve seen many a crafting project ( here and here) using these tins but also know someone who loves to bake would enjoy these.
Petite Wood Knobs–I’m going to be turning these into cute magnets and push pins.
Set of Vintage Chartreuse Dinner Napkins with embroidery detail. How great would these look as part of a spring tablescape or accenting a Christmas dining table. Unfortunately the tablecloth that matched was a bit worn but these napkins are in pristine condition.
Fabulous Vintage Jewelry–I’ll be using many of these pieces to create my own jewelry designs.
Vintage Matchbooks in a vintage cigar box. When I began traveling to the Far East over 10 years ago, I began collecting matchbooks. This collection included matchbooks from a 1938 wedding, old Las Vegas hotels and casinos, Blue Bird Coach Lines and lots of New York landmarks and institutions.
So you know my love of handbags and my current obsession with clutches, so you can image how excited I was when I came across this lovely Vintage White Beaded Clutch. It is in fabulous condition! Now the question….add to my shop or keep???
And, here’s even more Vintage Jewelry I picked up. I love the bone and brass bracelet and the multi-strand bone necklace. Such goodness!
Shopping Scott Antique Market is always such fun, especially when I come away with some great pieces. Several of the vintage items will be available for sale on my shop by Friday, so make sure and check it out.
Hey Shelly- I remembered I read this post but had been in hurry and did not have time to comment. I’m glad you stopped by! Where can I start with your finds? The seltzer bottle is amazing. I was thinking of starting a collection of those. Of course, I love the jewelry, too! And, matchbooks from the 1930s? Wonderful!
