Tips for Finding Vintage Bargains in Antique Decorator Boutique Malls!

An unexpected car problem leads to antique shopping bliss in a new place! Southern Pickers in Tifton, Georgia has been on our radar, and when the (usually) trusty van says it's time for a mechanical "spa day", we get to see what picking we can do in this interesting hybrid antique and boutique mall.
Stylish is the word for the displays here, and the blending of antiques with art, crafts, clothing and new decor gives us a chance to show you how we divine the old and vintage items from those other items that contribute to the magnetism of the mall. Fortunately, antiques are in abundance, from handsome carved American oak to enameled Victorian pitchers, and vintage finds vary from a scarce Gene Autry cap gun in original box to 1930s pocket watches and 1960s costume jewelry!
How do we find the real deals in such a varied group of wares? We offer tips (Look down! Look up!) and tricks (like how to quickly tell if an "on sale" space is worth your time digging), designed to make a collector excursion to fun antique venues like this worth your while. We show what we find and why we think it's worth buying, and point out some other potential bargains along the way.
Sweet dealers and viewers, honest mechanics and the lure of more vintage shops yet untouched make Southern Pickers and the other shops of TIfton a welcome new stop on the long stretch between Atlanta and Florida! We go home with fun finds for our collectors and a new appreciation for vintage in the cotton belt.

    There was a Colonial Revival during the 60s. It was used on the TV set for I Love Lucy when Lucy moved to Connecticut and that set the Americana style across the US. Currently, the next trend for interiors is No Trends, meaning that if the style has a name, like Farmhouse or Boho, it's out. What is in is layering time periods, mixing and layering different time periods to give a generational collected feel to the home. The idea is to unite the different types of furnishings with color. Personally, I am glad to see gray everything go away.

    Good evening, George! I liked that Russian nesting doll set, with the Russian Orthodox motif. Mom has one of those fruit pyramids. Hers is a large one, and it is done in full colour. Loved that 1890s game bird plate. Those types of plates have always been a favourite of mine. I have one plate with sheep on it. I've not seen too many of those. I used to have that set of Inidana Glass pitcher and stemmed tumblers...I gave it away. As to painting antique or vintage furniture...I'm not a fan of that, at all. Unless it originally had a painted finish, I would've put it in my house. Those Gene Autry books would be a nice collection to have. I like that sort of series in books. That electric blue pitcher, from about 1900, looked like a Northwood piece. There was a fish on a shelf, in the J's Junkin' space, that really caught my eye. Couldn't tell if it was a vintage one or not, though. That "catsup" dispenser was interesting. It is mostly spelled "ketchup" these days. Several interesting items there. Thanks for the take-along!!! I hope your mom is doing well!!! All my best to the both of you!!!

    My goodness, I apologize for being so very slow in responding! I thought the Russian Orthodox piece was an interesting ("meta" by today's parlance) juxtaposition of the dolls with religious culture. I like the fruit pyramids, I imagine hers is sumptuous! The Indiana Glass set is good quality but just more common, with your advanced collection of beverage sets I imagine it just didn't have a place. I find the "catsup" vs "ketchup" issue strangely interesting, apparently it depends where you live whether those two condiments are actually the same or not.

If the Indiana Glass set I had had been in the green, I would've probably kept it. The blue is just so common and seems to be everywhere. It seems I remember mom once had a "catsup" dispenser when I was younger. It was red and had some kind of figure on it, with the word "Catsup". Whew! That would be more years ago than I'd care to remember 🤣 I'd like to still have it, though.

    $55.00 on an off condition Charlie's Angels lunch box is NUTS. People started OVER pricing lunchboxes in the late 1980s / early 1990s when a guy named "Mr. Lunch Box" put out a PRICE GUIDE to lunchboxes . He wanted to boost the value of HIS collection by doing so. It wrecked the market within the next few years . Then prices came down a bit . Then he moved on to collecting CEREAL boxes ! Talk about hard to find. I collect them myself . The ones from the late 1960s are the most desirable.

Come to find out, she is dating the identical twin brothers and owners, Long and Harry Wang.
