From Peachtree Peddlers

I totally forgot to show you some of the things we saw at Peachtree Peddlers while I was in Atlanta, so here are a few pictures from my favorite McDonough antique mall. As you can probably tell, I have my eye on kids stuff lately.

How cute is this little cowboy?

Paint by number paintings, which I think look really good as a collection like this or this.

More cowboy cuteness.

An old aqua fan. I love old fans, though I don't actually have one myself.

Vintage fabric. I did get a few yards from this pile.

Cute old pillow made from a quilt.


Old recipe booklets.

Pretty fireplace screen.

Cute yellow chair with Raggedy Ann and little Andy.

I loved these tea sets--stackable teapot, creamer and sugar. My favorite one was the one in the middle.

Peachtree Peddlers Visit

I don't have any Pickled Hutch picks this week because I'm not in San Francisco, but last Sunday mom and I went to the Peachtree Peddlers Antique Mall, so I can give you a bit of a picks fix. We were really on our way to the outdoor weekend flea market, which is in the parking lot of the antique mall. But only one lonely vendor was there. We were actually surprised to find anyone there because it was rainy and it was the Sunday before Christmas when most normal people were frantically shopping for last minute gifts, wrapping presents or traveling to get somewhere. But we just had to go see if any treasures were to be found--we rarely resist flea market temptation. Since the flea market was a wash, we went indoors to the antique mall. Not a whole lot caught my eye this visit, though, but here are a few things that did:
I love candle molds. I always think they'd make neat bud vases, with a flower in each hole.
Pretty, bud-like toped salt and pepper shakers. I love salt and pepper shakers and used to collect them. I stopped because I have so many now and not many places to display them. Also, although I love collections, I think sometimes they can get a little out of control (click on the video and you'll see what I mean).
Artist's table. This was really cool, but it was hard to get a picture of the whole thing. It looked like a tornado whipped through this vendor's booth, so it was hard to get a good picture because there was no place to even stand.
I loved this sugar and creamer combo. It made me think of my friend Caroline--good design, good color--these things make me think of her.
Metal basket. Good for holding towels, books, magazines, kid's toys . . . .
Orange-red metal stool. Good just as a step stool or as a plant stand, lamp stand, mini table . . .
Me, taking pictures.

Peachtree Peddlers Antique Mall

My mom and I went to the outdoor flea market here in McDonough, GA, but unfortunately it was slim pickins this time around. So we headed indoors to the antique mall and found a bunch of great things. Here are a few pictures of what I saw while roaming the isles. Then, the last few pictures are of what we left with. (Click to see the pictures larger.)

Bowls of bangles--this dealer also had bowls of red and yellow bangles.

I'm not sure what I would do with a pulley, but I love the way this one looks.

This candle mold was so cool. I think it would be neat to put small test tubes with a single flower in each candle slot, or every other slot.

This baby doll high chair was so cute with the black silhouette.

Pretty hand painted hat box, lined with adorable fabric. This would be great for holding yarn or some other craft supplies.

Lucite candelabra.
Fiesta pitcher. This dealer also had one in navy blue.

Old crates, great for holding magazines, towels, craft stuff . . .

My picks--two box handbags, a little red bud vase, a piece of coral, two horseshoes, a painted jar and a Delta bag. Total: $46. (The brown box handbag has a bird on the side and top and super cute fabric in the inside.)

My mom's picks: A bamboo shelf, some fabric, a santa tin, and two mercury glass vases (upside down in the picture). Total: $40.
