Fall is here--one of my favorite seasons. The leaves are falling, warmer wardrobe, and holidays that give you an excuse to make your home look spectacular. When I made my picks for this post I kept the season in mind so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 

 Inspired by mid sixteenth century ruff style collar and sweet bubble sleeves this is a great long coat for fall and winter. ($122.00) 

 These handmade, distressed surface candles are designed by Vance Kitira.  These will look great for fall.($18.00)

Of course my next pick is a must. We have custom lamps that are throughout our store. Their rustic charm adds style to any room.(Starting at $225.00)

Transfer ware never goes out of style. These rectangular platters will be of great use and style for Thanksgiving. (starting at $38.00)

This vintage mirror was once a window from New England the possibilities are endless on how to use this unique piece. Picture it somewhere unexpected like in a kitchen or as a head board.

I have been doing a little browsing online at some things that have caught my eye. I wanted to share these things with you. These are pieces that I'd like to buy or some part of my personality would like to buy them but it is just not gonna happen. I want to share these fun finds with you. Who knows maybe you have the perfect spot for one of these treasures. Even if you don't I appreciate you coming along "virtual shopping" with me. I'm working on this weeks "five things" post along with packing up for the Atlanta Country Living Fair. I will be back in touch soon.
Sincerely,
Scarlett

Scarlett's Top Five Picks

I am so excited to show you some of our antiques that are truly exquisite in detail and great for starting inspiration for decorating your home. Here are my top five picks from the store.

These early 1900’s silver plated trophies showcase unique designs not found in modern times.
 (Starting at $125.00)

 This distressed four drawer bow front chest is fantastic for storage use it as a bedside chest or use it in the dinning area for linens . ($435.00)

 

The next pick is truly fascinating.  This beautiful circa 1890 bust made from alabaster is a fabulous focal point in any room. It's all hand carved and full of lacy details. It's a true piece of art.
 ($545.00)

Once these awesome Millstones were part of a Grist Mill and now are mounted as works of art. Personally, I think these would look great on a mantle or in a bookcase to add interest and history. ($65.00 each)

Lastly, this marble trough would look great in a bathroom with hand towels, soap, and candles or you could put flowers in the middle and use it as a center piece. ($125.00)

As you can see there is something special about each of the items and they have their own unique story and piece of history and I would love for you all to see them in person or have them in your own home.

Thanks for looking at my picks!

Sincerely,

Scarlett

Scarlett's Top Five Worldly Picks

Now a days with the way technology is, we are able to just go on Google Earth and look at the world with a click of a button. I want to show you a flash back with the fresh items the we have included in our store. I recently came across my next top five picks thinking of the way everyone once looked at maps in the past!

If you're ever in that rut where you are just not to sure where to go on vacation, you could totally just spin one of these bad boys, close your eyes, and point your finger to a location. You could also have one of these in office. (Starting at $48.00)

 If you want something a little smaller, perhaps these pocket size globes are such a cute pick! They also are in german text. ($9.00 each)

  

Are you tired of keeping your change in a ceramic pig? Maybe this could be the alternative! These interesting vintage finds were from the World Bank and, it is a cool way to save up for that trip that you could use the spinning globe for. ($38.00 each)

Decorating tip: we have these amazing old maps with awesome color and in great condition. Personally, I think this would look great on a wall or ceiling and all you need is wall paper paste and some maps.

 (Starting at $10.00)

Lastly, this pick is a vintage calander and all you need to do is spin it and it will change the date! This would be an ideal way to save money on buying a calendar for every year. Lets face it, it is definitely unusual. ($20.00 each)

Being that it is 2012, the way we look at the world through technology is fascinating, but there is something special about the way we looked at the Earth in the past. Can't wait to see you in the future come by Scarlett Scales Antiques to check out our new collection.
