Shopping with Eddie

You can just imagine how much fun we had! Yes, we did…a blast! There were over 30 of us who met up with Eddie and Jaithan on Saturday to shop at Scott’s Antiques Market. What fun to get to meet Eddie Ross in person. He is as fun and cute as you can imagine he would be, full of personality and life! Of course, I didn’t waste any time getting a pic and schmoozing with Eddie. IMG_3803

Everyone arrived in the January chill and I think we were all excited to be there. I met a couple of ladies who read my blog all the time and it was so much fun to meet them. Hello Melissa, Carrie, and another lady who I’ve forgotten her name, but thank you ALL so much for introducing yourselves to me. Please leave me a comment sometime! IMG_3806

My blog friend, Judy from Gracious Southern Living (holding the camera here) went with me and we just had the best time. We had to leave Birmingham around 5 a.m., but we were troopers and made it over there in plenty of time, wide-eyed and ready to shop. IMG_3804

I found out that many of us drove a few hours to get there. Here we all are listening to Eddie tell us about the morning.

We decided to start with the outside, where there are tons of architectural items for sale. Lots of chippy old pieces and we all enjoyed looking around seeing what bargains we could find. IMG_3808

Old columns which I love. IMG_3807

Just lots of architectural things to be found. IMG_3812

Eddie showing what could be done with this piece. We all had our eyes on different things. IMG_3810

Me, I loved this cowhide chair. Isn’t it the coolest? IMG_3811

I did find a really neat architectural piece, which I have the perfect spot for and of course, I’ll share it with you when I get it in place. My hubby will not understand this shabby thing, but he’ll get over it. This piece was $55, which I thought was a pretty good price and it’s quite large. IMG_3815

Check out the vintage Christmas trees. Very cute, but at $55 a little steep. I told Eddie this reminded me of him.

IMG_3813

For you blue and white lovers, a whole row of platters. IMG_3814

And of course, tole platters always grab my attention. IMG_3818

These were very old wax impressions, which were really neat and would look very nice framed. IMG_3816

Eddie checking out the wares. IMG_3817

Eddie has a great smile and an infectious personality. IMG_3822

Do you remember this guy from Top Design? Kerry, a designer who lives in Atlanta, joined us and he was SO much fun!

IMG_3819

Vintage eggs and Birdsnest prints. IMG_3820

Cloche, anyone?

IMG_3825

And I always have to price the Staffordshire dogs. This pair was $150, a steal the seller told me! IMG_3823

Eddie, doing his thang….

IMG_3824

Vintage buttons in this booth. IMG_3828

Furniture galore, you can find just about any style you can imagine, at all price points. IMG_3827

Loved this chippy green. IMG_3826

As well as this English chest.

IMG_3830

Pretty vignette of garden architecture. IMG_3829

You just want to take everything home with you. IMG_3831

This was a metal bergere chair, which we thought was interesting. We were joking with Kerry about it bringing back memories of the chair competition they had on Top Design. IMG_3833

We all parted around noon and Judy and I went to have lunch at the food court and Eddie, Jaithan and Kerry joined us and we had the best time just chatting it up and getting to know them better. Eddie has some exciting things coming up, so you’ll have to stay tuned to his blog to find out all the scoop. The guy is so talented and SO energetic and I know is going to go far with whatever he gets involved in. It’s bound to be fun!

We had an absolutely wonderful day and I’m so glad we got in on the fun! Thanks Eddie and Jaithan for the great day and memories, I’m sure we will all take home with us. Til next time, remember the Southern Belles!

    That is so funny that BOTH you and Judy took pictures of my chairs! Now I know I’ve got good taste if you two noticed them! Went to Calico Corners today to get some fabric samples. I’ll post pictures when I get them done.

    So cool,your famous girl!! I love the Scott’s antique mall when it swings by here each month. I think it is the same one. Everything looks great, it does take a lot of time to walk though though.

    How exciting! It looks like you had a great day. Eddie and Kerry were two of my favorites on “Top Design”–how wonderful that you got to hang out with them both. Thanks for sharing your day with us so we could live it vicariously through you!! 🙂

    My daughter and Judy’s granddaughter take ballet together, and I was so excited when I heard about this trip you were taking. It sounds like it was a blast, and I enjoyed looking at all the photos. I think I could spend a week there!
