Vintage in Chattanooga

We seem to end up in Chattanooga a few times a year and we always go to Sluggo's for lunch, then go by the Knitting Mill Antique Mall. There are some great booths in there (and some REALY terrible ones) but we always find something to bring home. 
 There is one booth FULL of amazing vintage Christmas but the prices are insane. I feel like the same stuff has been in her cases for years! Gimme some of those pine cone gnomes!
 Funny pink poodle made of some kind of fur.
 I kind of regret not buying one of these vintage barbie photos. I wonder if the person whose booth it is made them! Isn't that cute?
 The one of them in the surf!
 I love that big chalkware pig! And look at that gorgeous globe!
 I brought home that little gnome! He is actually a dream pet! 
 These are tiny 1960's swim trunks! I LOVE them! There were some cute pepsi ones with hot air balloons on them.
 I brought a few vintage photos home from this big box.
 Space mug! Very tempting.
 This embroidered quilt really broke my heart! Isn't it amazing! Look at the baby cutting the cat's hair! And that squirrel! It was well over 300 dollars though. Oh well. We brought home the gnome, some photos, and a neat roll of vintage labels that look great in Travis' medical collection cabinet.
 Like I was saying, we went to lunch at Sluggo's. It is one of our favorite places ever!
 We got a pot stickers appetizer. Mmmm it was so good. 
 And of course, the vegan club. We always get the same dang thing. It is just so good!
Also! When I was looking up Sluggo's address I saw there was a new vegan place in town called Cashew. The thing that really caught my eye in the listing was they had donuts! I haven't had a donut since going vegan and had been thinking about donuts lately and wishing there were vegan ones in town. These were yummy and really hit the spot! Especially the lemon one on top!
Thanks for the good time Chattanooga!

  1. Looks like y'all had fun! We want to get out to Deck's soon. I'm pretty sure those Barbie photos are from a photographer's series. Maybe the booth owner knows the photographer. Hopefully he/she didn't print them from the internet. :/

    1. they were nice photographic prints so I think they probably knew the artist. i hate to think they stole them off the internet! I think the quality was too good for that to be the case!

  3. I know what you mean about prices. Some antique stores just want to have a museum and not sell anything. They've got their "collector's book" and think everything they have will go for that high price. Sheesh! Glad you got some goodies. The Vegas eats look good. My hubby went Vegan a year ago and is trying to get me to jump on board. That food, might do it. YUM!

  5. I love the KNITTING MILL! I have gone there several times when visiting my sister. There are some amazing booth. There is a cabinet of medical curiosities that always makes me think of Travis. Also, if Jamie saw that space mug, he would have fought someone for it. I am kinda mad at you for NOT getting those barbie sexy time photos. Hubba Hubba.

  10. That globe is awesome! I'm always on the hunt for cool mid century globes on wooden stands. That Sluggo's sign is the best! What a terrifying yet cute garlic man.
