Back to the Destin trip, after lunch at Dewey Destin we took off to a few antiques stops that I had been to before. Kat and I have done this a few time together and these are always fun places to browse.
Smith’s was the first stop and they always have some great eye candy to look. 
I’ve always loved these glass floats, they are so pretty to pile up in a bowl. 
Lost of sea-inspired decor in these shops. We are at the beach after all! 
Such pretty aqua blues. 
Coral and sea shells.
Pretty botanical pillows.
Love this pretty coral shade. 
Beautiful lamps.
Kat, Debbie and Tiffany had fun browsing around.
Seashell topiaries. 
Pretty pottery.
Linens and things. 
Cabbage rose pattern on a pillow.
Debbie spotted a pretty treasure. Don’t think she bought it though.
This is for my friend, Beth at A to Z. 
Picture taking in the mirror.
Love, love these old bottles.
How about these hanging lights, with burlap inserts. So neat!
See, here’s a closeup.
Could you make one of these?
Behind Smith’s is Holiday Antiques, another great place crammed with beautiful things.
More glass floats.
Seaside decor.
Vintage clothes.
Pretty old birdcage.
Another pretty bottle.
Trendy antlers. 
Lots of great globes.
A pretty burlap pillow.
Down the highway was Scavenger’s, another place to lookie-loo.
Love these old seltzer bottles.
Vintage dinnerware.
A pretty old toleware chandelier.
Fun place.
A bin full of starfish.
Seahorses on the wall.
Pretty blue painted piece.
Kat drove us back to her house and past Emeril’s house. This is a house that he is renovating. How cool is that?! BAM!
We stopped by her house for a bit and saw Miss Daisy, the cutest dog in the world. 
She was as friendly as ever, probably doesn’t remember meeting me before, but she’s so sweet. I could hardly get her still to get a pic taken.
But, we got a few snapped before she dashed off in a flash.
Debbie, Tiffany, me and Kat had a wonderful day in Destin.
Thanks for stopping by!
I will be working on the wedding pics as soon as I can. The wedding was absolutely perfect in every way and went off without a hitch. The weather could not have been more perfect.
This will be a very busy week for me, as moving day back to Atlanta is Friday. Wish us good weather!
I’m looking forward to getting back to Atlanta with my family. They are the best support and I love them dearly.
The lucky winner of the Willow House $50 giveaway is #90, Ginny. Congrats Ginny, I’ve emailed you already!
Headed down myself on Thursday for a long birthday weekend– Smith’s is on my list {one of my faves}… hope you left a few finds for me! 🙂
thanks for the photos of these wonderful shops! I would sure love to browse through all of them for hours at a time, so many pretty things.
hugs

Gorgeous photos!
Loved this Rhoda! It is so interesting to see what is available at antique shops in different regions. I love the name Scavengers.
Hi Rhoda!
What a fun trip! I oohed and aahed all the way through your post.
Good luck on the big move back home. I’m sending hugs your way and wishes for sunny weather (both literally and figuratively). :o) La
Hi
Enjoyed the pics and the virtual antiquing trip!
Hope all goes well for you this week…will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
🙂 Diane
Thanks for the tour. Thoughts and prayers on your move. And, may I say, you look fabulous!
I enjoyed touring the shops of Destin. I’ve been to Smiths but didn’t realize there was another shop behind it. I’ll also have to run over to Scavengers now because I’ve passed it several times but never stopped. How cool that Emeril is remodeling nearby. I’ll have to scout out his house. You’ll have to give me a clue to the location 🙂
I miss Atlanta. My boys are still there so I hope to go back soon for a visit. Nothing like shopping in Atlanta! Best of luck with your move. Hope all goes well for you.
Rhoda,
You made me laugh with your “BAM” when talking about the house. 🙂
This is interesting. Although I love finding treasures, my husband never really liked going to these kind of places, but yesterday I convinced him to come with me to a flea market. We had an amazing time! I’m redecorating my mudroom in a summery/cottage style. I want it be simply, light with some splash of color. I found a great blue chair with loads of character and a mirror that’s adorable. All of that for only $12,00! I know!!!! So, that makes my husband like flea markets even more!!! LOL
These antique places are simply “BAM”, like your said! 🙂 Gorgeous finds, Rhoda!
I hope you have a wonderful Spring! That many Sunny Surprises comes to your life, my friend.

PS: You always look so beautiful!!!
Yowzaas! I love everthing but i would have to say that my two favorites would have to be the pineapple cement like lamp or the burlap hanging lamp! Thanks for sharing all of these gorgeous photos!
Thanks for the great photos. You look great and I wish you the best!
Good luck to you in your move. Know that God has a plan for you and you are in good hands.
Rhoda–didn’t know you were moving back to the ATL. Welcome home, shug! Love Smith’s, I found two amazing antique oil paintings when I was there during my book tour last year.
Hi Rhoda
I don’t know what happened to my comment. I’ll try again. This place is very awesome. It looks like you had a great trip with a wonderful place to stop. I don’t think I would have wanted to leave that place…ever. Amazing goodies.
It is probably a good thing we don’t have one of those around us.
have a wonderful day
Come by and visist when you have some time.

Hi Rhoda- It looks like y’all had fun shopping! Smith’s is always a must-shop for me when I’m in town. I have found many a gorgeous love in there. I’ve actually never been to Holiday, but I’m going to stop by when I’m there in August. Thanks for the photos!
Rhoda, love the shops! I will def check them out in July when I am there! Can’t wait….I am NEEDING some beach time. I am going the end of May as my son is graduating from high school….yeah I will be in Panama City Beach! I’m not staying where he is, BUT I will be close enough if anything were to happen 🙂 just sayin’
Wishing you Sunshine on Friday…
Lou Cinda
Dear Rhoda….what great pics, what a fun day you all had !! Thanks for the tour. So glad to hear the wedding went well 🙂 can’t wait to see the pics !!
Good luck and of course I wish you good weather for the move !!
All the best,
Kathy 🙂
Welcome home! Maybe I’ll run into you at the Classy Flea! 😉
Hi Rhoda, Smiths & Antiques on Holiday are my two favorite antique malls. They always have the most beautiful things and everything is displayed so pretty. When we lived in Destin I was a dealer at Smiths and also at Holiday when the owner was at a different location. I Hope your move goes smoothly.
xo,
Sherry
Love all the pics! Looks like y’all had a good time. Where did Debbie get her purse? I love it! I want it! LOL
My daughter got it in Uganda a few years ago… Sorry Michelle!
Well, shucks! Thanks for letting me know. It is adorable! 🙂
