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. 
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! 
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. 
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. 
Old columns which I love. 
Just lots of architectural things to be found. 
Eddie showing what could be done with this piece. We all had our eyes on different things. 
Me, I loved this cowhide chair. Isn’t it the coolest? 
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. 
Check out the vintage Christmas trees. Very cute, but at $55 a little steep. I told Eddie this reminded me of him.
For you blue and white lovers, a whole row of platters. 
And of course, tole platters always grab my attention. 
These were very old wax impressions, which were really neat and would look very nice framed. 
Eddie checking out the wares. 
Eddie has a great smile and an infectious personality. 
Do you remember this guy from Top Design? Kerry, a designer who lives in Atlanta, joined us and he was SO much fun!
Vintage eggs and Birdsnest prints. 
Cloche, anyone?
And I always have to price the Staffordshire dogs. This pair was $150, a steal the seller told me! 
Eddie, doing his thang….
Vintage buttons in this booth. 
Furniture galore, you can find just about any style you can imagine, at all price points. 
Loved this chippy green. 
As well as this English chest.
Pretty vignette of garden architecture. 
You just want to take everything home with you. 
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. 
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! 
oh, i’m so jealous, but also thrilled for you! Can’t wait to see what you do with that woodwork.

I can “hear” your excitement, in your words, Rhoda. Looks like a fun time was had by all!
I’d love to visit this place! I know I would have a great time.
Rhoda, this looked like such a wonderful trip. How neat to meet some of your blog friends and Eddie too. Gorgeous things, a real feast for the eyes. I saw several things that tickled my fancy. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
What a fun trip, Rhoda! I know you had a blast!
I only live about 4 hours from Atlanta and have wanted to go to Scott’s for a long time. I hope I can make it there sometime this year. It looks like you had such a great time! Thanks for taking me on your trip with you!

It looked like a lot of fun. I saw some things there from you pictures that I wanted. Too bad we don’t have anything like this close by.
And I am sure your husband will trust you know what to do with your piece of art.
CIao
Rhoda,
What great pictures of you and Eddie! I’m jealous but thrilled for you. You always get to hang out with all the interesting folks….Can’t wait to see what you do with the wood piece.
Hugs,
Sue
ahhhh I would so liked to have come on that trip with you, my thrifting adventures surely pale into insignificance compared to this *smile

Hi, Rhoda!
Phillips Phamily Mama here. I really enjoyed meeting you and Eddie yesterday! I bet you had so much fun with him. He really was full of energy.
You did such a great job taking pictures. I just took pictures of the things I wanted to remember to go back and get, so I didn’t end up with many.
I did find a set of four dining chairs. He was asking $400 for the set, but at Scott’s you always say, “Is this the best you can do?” He said, “Of course not!” I got the set of Louis XVI side chairs for $300!”
The main building definitely has the better prices. The North building thinks a lot of itself! But you can always strike a deal…
Come over to visit at Phillips Phamily Phive; I’ve got a few pictures from yesterday, even one with us and Eddie. And we look right cute!
Can’t wait to see how you use your architectural piece!
Look at you all cute nestled up next to Eddie! I bet yall had a blast. I wont be too jealous of yall because Im staying focused on meeting you at Blissdom. I will be such a blast to hang out wiith all of you. This girl needs to go shopping! I cant wait to see what you do with your special piece when you get home. Take care~
WOW! What a great day. Thanks for taking us all along with you! Eddie Ross is a cutie…and so are you!
~Amanda
Lucky you!! I can’t wait to see what you do with your new acquired piece.
OK, Eddie spent time with the Southern Bells ~ now he and Jaithan need to come spend some times with us Northern Babes 🙂
Blessings,
Sher
Rhoda,
Thank you so much for posting pictures of the market, I was curious what was there and what it was like. I live outside Atlanta and have to say I am so jealous that you were able to go to this. I would have loved to have gone but was in PA at the time. Another time.
What fun! Can’t wait to see what you do with that piece you bought. Blessings, Nancy
Rhoda, looks like you had a super day. Eddie looks like a barrel of fun.. Can’t wait to see what you do with your finds..
hugs ~lynne~
Hi Rhoda,
What a great Day! I wish I was a Southern Belle! Thank you for sharing your day!!!
xoxo,
Cathleen
I am completely green with envy that you got to spend a day shopping with Eddie Ross. Looks like so much fun. Thanks for sharing your pics:)
I had never heard of Scotts Market, but someone just mentioned it to me this week. She was going to the Atlanta Furniture Market and mentioned Scotts. How funny! I might have to make a trip for sure:)
Hey girl! Yep, it was s-o-o-o much fun there and also the fellowship of us talking a mile a minute on the way over and back…plus stopping at QT’s!
My e-mail is not working tonight so I’ll just leave a short comment here. Thanks for the links, and go to simplyseleta.typepad.com (Eddie’s recommendation to us)…you will die! Her blog is wonderful.
I’ll let you know later about my next trip I’m planning to Scotts, daughter Shannon wants to go get some things for her house so we may be sneaking over there in April, more on that later.
Spent a lot of time today trying to “place” my pieces and I think I’ve finally got an idea of where to put all of them. I hope I can post some finished pics soon.
Love ya!
Judy
Wow, what an amazing experience!! So cool!!
Oh WOW, I can tell from the pics you had a ball !!!
You sure saw some pretty things Rhoda.
Thanks for this post. Heading over to Eddies to take a peek !!
Happy Sunday,
Kathy 🙂
