Scott's was a little slow this month. I noticed many vendors who are there every month to be absent. Whaa.
On Friday while I was there......I did not have to shove anyone out of my way.....politely of course :)
One of the best things about going in December is seeing how creatively they decorate their spaces. Usually it is just with greenery...but as we all know greenery packs a punch!
And...just as I make that observation.....I only have one picture.
And for real....this ain't so hot compared to what I have seen in blogland lately.
Of course I would not be true to myself if I did not show you pillow lavishness first.
How many bedrooms have I done with these colors....I am pretty sure I am a neutral girl at heart....
Because when I see this grouping I get goosebumps....
I saw these at the shop [Sudi] before they were packed up and fell in love.
Lot's of red lately.....
Love the red, brown and gold combination.
I dig how this one had a small piece of orange felt sewn on....
I mean seriously.....I licked....petted and talked dirty to this one. I dare not ask how much because I know it would have been shocking...this was mohair. Hello basketball player chair.
I only took this picture because it gave me the shivers.....I have such a fear of the dentist [have to be put under for anything more than a cleaning] and the thought of how primitive dentistry was at one time scares the living crap out of me. There would have to be leather straps to hold me in that bugger.
But all I would need is the slightest gesture to take a seat in this one :)Palm Beach says hi.
Then I stumbled upon more mid century goodness than I have ever seen at one time. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable.I was thinking it all came from Florida but he said North Carolina.....so was it a colony that decided to redecorate all at once?
Yikes...somebody not only put Ken in the corner...but in a bucket. Looks like he had a "night on the town"......straighten up there Ken.Big old signs....always love.In a sea of "Belgium Gray".... this stood out....in a good way you know?
But then again.....I'm torn.
Piece of glass and you have a heck of a cool dining room table.
Kind of cool in a weird way....
Here is a simple DIY....Just throw the large baby bottle in with this vignette...
Paint er up.....
Seriously all about these....Another..."wish I had bought". Why is it you see things during the month when you are NOT supposed to be buying for yourself?
Nice architectural piece...
Goes without saying...color and shape...BAM.
These would look good framed....duh.Vintage Christmas in an old suitcase... Really nice old maps...[a la Restoration Hardware for a million dollars]Love these old lamps....kind of like Pantone's color of the year. And that's all I got for ya this time.....
Just a few words about Scott's, [I have people ask me questions all the time]. There are 2 buildings, the North [original] and the South. The North has more antiques but it does have this cool tent in the front that has a lot of industrial finds. The South was added a few years ago when Lakewood Antiques Show closed [the best ever....sigh]. They have a great outdoor area that I love to browse around. Many smaller vendors with a more flea market vibe. In my opinion you just have to do both.
January should be a good show because they know that people will be in town for the Mart! Just saying.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.....
