My Scott Antique Market Finds

Saturday started out as a nice day for a trip to the Scott Antique Market. I hadn't been in a very long time. The weather was really nice and warm especially for mid March. I had invited my daughter to go with me so I went to her house, since it is on the way, and she, Leila and I were on our way for the thrill of the hunt. We shopped for only a couple hours since my daughter had some things she needed to do that afternoon. One of those things was to shop at Fresh Market where I had my fall that I mentioned in a previous post.
 Today I'm sharing what I found in our short visit at Scott's.

I collect old wooden boxes and had seen many that day, but most of them were hundreds of dollars which I am not going to pay for a box to look at.

Then I spied this beat up and scratched up box and asked the vendor how much? He said he would take $40 for it so I agreed. Now, I'm going to show you what's inside. I used some dark wax on the box to help cover the scratches.

It is packed full of sewing items. It was one big giant tangled mess, but Mr. Savvy was quite intrigued and untangled the mess and organized it. 

There are many sizes of old wooden spools of thread.

There were several folded papers of large straight pins and this set was rustproof brass pins that I had not ever seen before. These old pins seemed to be much longer than the ones I find today.

There were things I haven't seen before, but I'm not a seamstress. This has straight pins stuck in the edge of it.

Here is a shot of the pins stuck in it. 

There was also this old  Mother of pearl pin with a broken piece of the pearl. There were also some tiny rulers and tape measures with ads on them from Philadelphia so this box is probably from there.

Also not sure what this stick would have been used for. 

My other purchase was a pair of new large gorgeous pillows.

It's all in the details with these pretty corners. I think these pillows are by Sherry's friend Sudi that she mentions on her blog a lot. I knew these would work in the great room, but also at least three other rooms so they can be moved about. If I'm going to pay top dollar for custom pillows they are going to be for more than one room.

I had taken some photos with my phone of some things in booths that I could go back to, but after I bought the pillows we were out the door. I think less than two hours at Scott's may be a record. Next time I will be there much longer.

I look like an alien with the swelling between my eyes, but by golly I'm keeping my hair appointment  this morning. It will feel so good to get clean hair this morning and fresh color!

Be sure to come back tonight at 7pmEDST for Wow Us Wednesdays!
