I Finally Have One

3.10.2012

Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in the Atlanta area. Sunny with some clouds on and off and a high of 78. Perfect weather for a day at the Scott Antique show. I was lucky on this trip and found a few of my favorite things including one item that I have been wanting for quite some time.

Look at all these wonderful items. Another gorgeous box to add to my growing collection, more roe deer antlers at a super price, more great vintage leather bound books for only $5 each, and the one piece I have been on the hunt for, the vintage trophy.

The antlers were a good price at $30 each compared to what I have seen them for. I was going to hang them in the sun room, but decided to split them up and hang them in separate places.

If you need vintage leather books at a great price you should visit this vendor at Scott's. He pulls out a bunch of books that may be a little more worn and places them on a table where they are all priced $5. I came home with these four beauties. 

My favorite find though is this wonderful old trophy with its very worn finish.

I hope the person didn't mind third place too much.

The bottom is very worn, but I don't mind one bit.

Great shape.

It stands tall next to my other vintage books.

Perfect in this room.

I will show you where the other items ended up bit by bit.

Have a super weekend and happy hunting!

    I too love to shop at Scott's Antique Mkt. I always come home with some treasures...Of course, I miss Lakewood so much, but still can find some "good buys" at Scott's. Love all that you got. My gal pal collects the loving cups and I am the antler collector. I actually bought a set when we traveled to Austria...you got a great deal. Tiffany

    Oh Kim,
    your hunt was so successful. I love all the items you found.
    Your deer atlers remind me that I have a wonderful elk atler that is waiting to be woven into a basket.
    I am not weaving much anymore, but sure would love to create that one.
    Love those books too.
    We used to live in Marietta and loved it there. We spent three wonderful years in the great state of Georgia and were so sad to leave.
    There are some great antiques shops to visit and I am jealous of your haunts. Can't wait to see more. Have a wonderful weekend,
    Char

    Wonderful finds! At first I thought you might have found a confit pot and I was going to be extremely jealous! Someday I am going to get to Scott's....we can meet and have fun...we might have to go separate ways though..we like the same things...:-)

    Kim I've been dying to go to Scott's.. it's on my list for sometime soon! Living in NE doesn't make it very feasible, but I do have a relative in Atlanta, and will just have to coordinate the next time I visit and make sure I can do Scott's at the same time!
    Love your box so much! and the books are to die for.. I'm on a constant hunt for antique books, and have also found some reasonably priced. Now, when I find them for $30 a piece, I pass on and wait for the better prices! They're out there..

    Kim,
    One of the things I miss most about living in the ATL is Scott's Antique Market. You brought me right back there. We purchased so many fine things. I too love antler trophies, "real" trophies, and vintage leather books. You are right. The bargains are the best. My BFF Dixie Delights still lives near Atlanta, so I can live vicariously at Scott's through y'all....

    Did you find a haul! When we sold my in-laws' house we had a huge sale right at the end. My FIL owned race horses most of his adult life. He had all sorts of trophies that we sold in that sale. Boy do I wish I could go back and do that differently. I wish I would have kept just a few...anyway your trophy is amazing. Glad you finally got one!

    Hey, Kim, looks like a fun trip to Scotts for you, great things you found. Thanks for stopping by on the St. Simons post, loved reading your comment. What fun it must have been to live there as a child, I can see how memorable that would be. I cannot believe this was my first trip, since I have lived in GA most of my life. It was worth the trip for sure. I had a fun time at Scotts today too, didn't buy anything though.
