I love old stuff. Nothing wrong with new stuff, but if given the choice, I'd rather have dishes with a story behind them than plates without a past. Once a month, the
Scott Antique Market vendors set up their booths south of Atlanta. They bill themselves as the World's Largest Indoor Antique Shows.There's old stuff and new stuff there, and an outside as well as inside. Here's a few pictures from our afternoon at Scott's.

I look at china and household tchotchkes, the husband looks for rusty stuff.

I came very close to buying the whimsical Christmas tree with a penguin to accompany. Maybe the vendor will be back next month.
