Weekend Vibes + Scott’s Antique Market

in I HEART ATLANTA, travel on 09/13/16

I realize that it is Wednesday,  but I am just able to sit down and catch up with you here to share the weekend happenings! If you are from Atlanta, you are probably familiar with Scott’s Antique Market. For anyone that isn’t familiar, Scott’s Antique Market is a monthly market with vendors offering furniture & antiques, collectibles & knickknacks.

I hadn’t been in a couple years and when my girlfriend and I realized we both had a window with all four of our kids in school on Friday morning, the treasure hunt scheming was on! After a cup of coffee and our Friday morning carpools, we were loaded and on the road. From where we live it is about a 20 minute drive and we both had a few things on our “hunt” list.

She was on a mission for some natural/greenery pieces for her home as well as something for her living room mantel. I was on a mission for a rug for the foyer, a pair of chairs and some fall accessories.

Scott’s is VAST and it can definitely be overwhelming. It definitely helps to have a mental checklist of some things you are looking for. There are two large buildings and an outdoor market area at the venue. We started in building one and that pretty much consumed most of our shopping window.

It was so fun to go with a friend, especially one that we are super familiar with each other’s styles and homes. She found some great fall cotton boll stems here for a great price.

Scott’s Antique Market- Rugs

I spent a large portion of my time looking at rugs. It was a little overwhelming but the vendors really do know what they have if you give them an idea of what you are looking for.

I also loved the swivel chairs selection but couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. That is probably because I have yet to decide exactly what I am looking for…

So much art- lots of good inspiration.

We did not have a chance to hit building two, but did have a few minutes to peruse the outdoor area. This section is a farmhouse style lovers dream since there is so many weathered random pieces.

Our treasure hunt missions were not 100% complete but we had fun shopping and came away with a few things. I found a great rug for the foyer which I am SO excited about.

I also found a real turtle shell (don’t ask but I have randomly been wanting one) and we both snagged a fun beaded tassel necklace. My friend found some great greenery and a couple very unique spheres for her mantel.

Since we were not technically looking for jewelry of course we were giving each other a hard time about buying jewelry. But the vendor confirmed that “what happens at Scott’s, stays at Scott’s” soooo….

It is definitely a fun outing, and I think we will be back again soon!

    You had me at Scott’s. I miss going to Scott’s so much. I could always find something I was looking for and more. My fave booth was the dried botanicals you featured above.

    I love the rug you purchased. I am going to Scott’s for the first time next week and have know idea of pricing for things. Rugs and furniture etc… Do they have all types of furniture pieces: sectional, recliners, ottomans etc and are they reasonably price? Sorry, so many questions, but I just really want to be able to be ready for what’s in store..lol

      Its a mix of old antique items and some vendors have new custom made pieces. I haven’t ever seen recliners, but definitely rocker/recliners and ottomans. TONS of rugs. And lots of art and small items mixed in. It’s hard to explain- but plan to wear comfy shoes and allow yourself lots of time to wander. The outside area is mostly small/resale items while the inside is where you will find the furniture vendors. I always start with Building One- but that is probably only because I know it better. Good luck and enjoy!
