On Friday morning
my dear friend/business partner
Jenn
kidnapped me
for my birthday
(it was a big one....)
and flew us
to Atlanta
to attend
two action-packed and antique-filled
days at Scott's
Antique Market!
OMG
Completely caught me off guard.
What fun.
What finds.
What treasures!
We had THE best time
and now I know why
all you southern bloggers
have such awesome
homes ... Scott's!
Here is a peek
at some of the
sights we saw.
Scott's is open monthly.
Check their calendar here.
I highly recommend
a trip there soon
if you are looking for
great home decor.
Oh, and take
a wad of cash
and a truck
or two!
:)

ReplyDeleteAlison - Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a great time. You'll have to share the treasures you bought in a future post.
ReplyDeleteI've always heard about Scott's and now you've inspired me to go. Thanks for your info post!
Happy Birthday, Alison! This looks like a great way to spend your birthday. I see so many beautiful things! I'm sure you found some amazing treasures!
ReplyDeleteScott's is the best! I used to go every month when I lived in Atlanta. The flea market here is no where near as good. What a great birthday weekend. And what a friend to take you! I've been saying to a friend we need to head out there for a Scott's weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I lived in Atlanta for 8 years and loved going to Scott's. Many things in my home were purchased there. Fun times!
ReplyDeleteHOW FUN!! Happy birthday, cannot think of a better birthday gift. Looks amazing..hope you came away with a few "gifts"!

ReplyDeleteScott's is great! I've been a couple of times myself. It's a long drive from my house, but always fun to visit. So glad that you got to go on your special day. I bet you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Alison! Isn't Scott's the most fun? I've been a few times and always found something I couldn't live without. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I found LOTS of things, that I loved, but couldn't afford...story of my life. LOL
Now,what wonderful things did you buy?
Happy Birthday! Looks like you had fun! I know I would have....thanks for sharing your pics with us!

Happy belated birthday! That was an AWESOME surprise! I bet you wished you DID have a truck with you, hope you at least got a few goodies. I sure saw alot I liked:) XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI've heard it is wonderful, but a bit pricey. Happy Birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteAlison,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I have so many friends and family with early September birthdays.
What a fun present, this place looks amazing, but then I believe most of the great antiques are east of the Rockies anyway. Hope you found a treasure or two for yourself.
Karen
Looks like an over-the-top good place to shop!! What a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I am sure you had lots of fun-I saw lots of thigs that I love.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
I love the curlique-leafy lamp base!!
ReplyDeleteDid you buy anything???????
Alison, What a fun birthday present. Isn't Scott's the most awesome place. One could get lost in there and never try to emerge.
ReplyDeleteI kidnapped Bob for a weekend on Jekyll Island several years ago. T'was fun.
Blessings, Ginger
OMG is right! What a fabulous treat! I'm sure you came home with a couple things!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!

I so wish I knew you were coming.....but then YOU didn't know! But I wish I could have had a glass of wine with you. Yes....we have been known to take wine....it's a long day, right? So glad you had a good time. I'm so impressed with your friend's creativity. Happy birthday, girl.
ReplyDeleteLinda @ A Toile Tale
Alison, well, happy, happy birthday, dear friend. What a wonderful surprise. A trip to Scott's has been on my list for years. One of these days........
ReplyDeleteDo we get to see what flew back to Chicago with you?
~ Sarah
I live in a northern suburb of Atlanta and sometimes take Scotts for granted - so glad you got to enjoy it this month! I find the things outside to be a bit better priced than inside, but if you're looking for that certain something - you have a great chance of finding it at Scott's!
ReplyDeleteBarb
WOW!!!! what a great partner!
ReplyDeleteloved seeing scotts, my stomping grounds, through your eyes. isn't it the best?!
happy birthday allison!
debra
Yea Jenn!!!!! Happy Birthday Alison
ReplyDeletexxo-j
Such a wonderful friend....and such a great birthday gift...I have been to Scotts and it is wonderful...So glad you had the opportunity to take in the "Scott's Experience"....Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDelete...you know...i think i have come to take for granted our "little flea market"...i use to do grocery shopping in that space...and before scotts there was THE flea market at the fairgrounds(which we all haunted 40 years ago when we were young and newly married)...we have become rather famous it seems..so happy our hometown market played a part in your birthday...blessings laney
ReplyDeleteBeen to Scott's many times and it is always alot of fun....the North building is WAY pricier than the South...and the outside vendors are the MOST reasonable....it is a 2.5 hour drive for me, but so worth it!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you get???
Lou Cinda
And what a great way to celebrate your Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteLou Cinda :)
What an ideal birthday for us decorators! I am dreaming of going their someday!!! lucky you. Did you get anything?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I hope its a great year for you.
