Scott's Flea Market in Atlanta

I have always.....always.....always....wanted to go to Scott's Flea Market in Atlanta.  It's held the second weekend of the month.  I got to go last month and it was sooo much fun!  There were things that I had hoped I would get to see and yep, they were there.  
But first, before I show you all the fun stuff I got to see, I'll show you what I brought home.

I got this wooden berry tray.  

It's taken me awhile to realize that I really

like trays or items that I can use as a tray.

I enjoy decorating my coffee table.  

So now, on to the other fun items I got to see....

 One vendor had beautiful vintage gain sacks and  dish towels.  The sacks were BEAUTIFUL. 

 The ones I saw were clean--without spots or other soiled areas.  They were soft, too.

   This booth had kitchen items.


I have some Uncle Wiggily china so this book caught my eye.  

These milk crates held the small milk bottles that would have been used for school children.  The dealer had pictures of the dairy where he got the crates and bottles.  They were very dirty and he said they were "farm fresh." My sister-in-law and I bought two dozen bottles for $30--we both already had a crate.  We had hoped to pay a dollar a bottle, but when another guy was selling them (clean) at 4 for $20...we decided to head outside to check out the dirty ones. That was the best deal for sure!

 There were vendors inside and outside.  

The man with the movie posters was very nice. He explained how he preserved the posters.  They were very colorful and in excellent condition.  He had circus posters, too.  
I'd like to see this movie...

Lots of pretty flatware.

      Demijohns         Globe made into a light fixture.

 And baby bath tubs!  I didn't get to price these...no one seemed to be at this booth. 
I missed taking pictures of olive baskets, French laundry baskets, the beautiful vintage linen booth, wooden filing cabinets and the copper kitchen molds. I hope there will soon be another trip that a can share with you!

Uncle Wiggily China

I have this little set of vintage children's china that came from Dad's home in Nebraska. I can just imagine my aunt, Daddy and perhaps his brothers eating from this little china set.  It seems to be an actual set for children and not a "tea party" set. The internet states that the set is children's china from the 1920's and was produced by the Sebring Pottery Company. That time would have fit in with the ages of my family members. 

I decided to make a little display for Easter since the main character on the china is a rabbit.  The rabbit is named Uncle Wiggily Longears.  He was the subject of stories written for children starting in 1910 and published in the Newark News.  Howard R. Garis was the author of the stories that appeared daily (except Sunday) for 30 years. He also wrote 79 books with the same characters.

Here is a close up of the little pitcher.

Here is the cup and saucer.  I have two sets of these.  They are in perfect condition.

I have two little butter pat-sized plates and two larger plates and the one large bowl.

My friend found this beautifully illustrated Uncle Wiggily

book at an antique store and gave it to my daughter several years ago.

The last little detail is an old block that has a rabbit head on one side. 

I don't know where the other pieces are, but I love the

soft features of this friendly little rabbit. There would

have been at least two other blocks to make this

bunny complete --a middle part of the bunny and a block

with the legs and feet. There are pictures on all sides of the block--

some are middles and some are feet. You could interchange the

blocks to make funny characters or arrange them correctly.

 

Happy Easter--vintage style!
