The American Home Menu Maker: 1950s Recipe Box
I recently purchased a vintage recipe box that was full of recipes that dated from the 1950s to the 1980s. Many of the recipes were handwritten (my favorite), some were cut from food boxes, and others were pre-printed and probably came with the original recipe box. The box is huge …
Scott Antique Market February 2019
It was another great show this month at Scott Antique Market. While it was a little windy on Thursday (opening day), the weather was beautiful and it was nice to visit the outdoor vendors. \ I had never seen a vending machine for pens before. It was called a Select-a-Pen. …
Insider Tips for Shopping at Antique Malls: Part 2

Vintage Finds at Ben’s Antiques
The yard sales are still few and far between and I haven’t seen many estate sales listed that I have wanted to attend. With that being said, I decided to stop by my local antique mall, Ben’s Antiques and Market (where I used to have my booth), to see what …

Scott Antique Market January 2019
Scott Antique Market got off to a good start this year. Normally I try to go on Thursdays when they open but I couldn’t make it until Friday last week. I think a lot of dealers took the month off in December so it was nice to see them back …
Shopping at Marietta Antique Mall
Last week I visited Marietta Antique Mall in Marietta, Georgia. The store is large with 30,000 square feet and has about 150 dealers. It is right down the street from the Big Chicken at 1427 Roswell Road. The thing I like most about this antique mall is that it actually …
Collecting Salt and Pepper Shakers
I mentioned earlier this week that I had bought out an entire collection of something from a dealer at a local antique store. Well what was it you might be asking? It was her collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers. I was walking through the store and stopped to …

As I am sure most of you know, it is a slow time of year for finding vintage and antique treasures. It is too cold and rainy for yard sales and with the Christmas holidays, there aren’t even many estate sales and auctions going on. Fortunately I was able to …
