                       Markets Show with Unique Finds

           Interior designers from all over the area were not disappointed when they came
        out August 10-13 to enjoy another Scott Antique Markets show in Atlanta. Designers,
        shop owners and others came to the show looking for unique, quality items to take to
        new clients.
           Lathem Gordon and Cate Dunning, with Gordon Dunning Interior Design, enjoyed a
        weekend hunting for new items to use in their clients homes.
           “We are having such fun with this botanical gallery,” Gordon and Dunning said,
        speaking about a variety of floral prints they found. “Scott is our favorite hunting

           Jamie Kolodziej, who owns an Etsy shop called Sweet Tea
        Salvage in the suburbs of Atlanta, makes bolo ties with many
        of her finds at the market. During her most recent trip she
        also found a vintage bandana she used for her dog, Chief.                             Shoppers came out in the thousands over the weekend to hunt for

        and I have made attending the show a monthly tradition,                            from a previous vendor. A third shopper came in looking for tables for a
