Treasure Hunting

I must say Scott's Antique market is my favorite and I will take pictures next time I'm visiting but Lakewood is a close 2nd in the treasure hunting department. In Atlanta, the Lakewood Antique Mart, now Lakewood 400 is a sprawling maze of antiques, collectibles, and new unique decorative items.

 

Open every 3rd weekend of the month Lakewood relocated from it's previous location of downtown Atlanta's Lakewood amphitheatre to North Fulton county. The venue is much much smaller than the vast never ending six large buildings and courtyards that encompassed Lakewood. Now quainter and easier to navigate (it is possible to see the whole thing!), the antique mart is in Cumming GA off of GA 400.

 

Here are just a few of the highlights from my trip this past weekend.

 

Industrial Pendants... Great for a kids room, rustic entry, farmhouse vibe, modern fixture in a basement. Endless possibilities. Industrial pendants are the rage right now but these are unique and a bit special when you find them treasure hunting. Love the orange one!

Antique wooden dough bowl. The dealer had 2 of these and they were gorgeous. Perfect accessory for a kitchen or dining table or use as a catch all on an entry table or coffee table. I see crayons or hotwheels in them too!

Gorgeous fabric remnants! So pretty to look at these mostly to the trade pieces. The majority were around $30 for 2 yards. Great for a pillow or two.

Giant iron lantern to add character to an entry.

Antique tobacco baskets! These are gaining popularity and add texture and history to a space. These are special because they are the real deal and show aging and patina that you can't purchase at Pottery Barn. They were $75 a piece but the dealer took $60!

It's only $3 to visit Lakewood and the ticket is good for the whole weekend. Looking forward to December finds!
