Thrifty Treasure : Page's Thieves Market

Thrifty store of the month is Page's Thieves Market. Located on Ben Sawyer, this family-owned, barn-style store gives off a warm, nostalgic feeling with its antiques and fun knick-knacks. Even if you're just driving through, this store is a must-visit. If you live nearby (or even far), it is worth it to visit weekly; either weekdays to see the new treasures or on Saturdays at their weekly auctions! 

Do your part for the environment and inspire local business... buy second-hand.

Walking around the side of Page's to the auction barn.

Perfect size vase for your home. Don't like rusty orange? Easy fix with paint!

Very cool find. This piece of wood is a handmade print block to what seems to look like a paisley print... great bookshelf  knick-knack or for re-use on your own personalized stationery.

I absolutely adore white ceramic anything with a blue and yellow Asian-inspired print. Use these for their original purpose (tea light holders) or use on your desk to store paper clips.

If you are lucky, you own a record player and can listen to the great sounds of the classic, now vintage records. If not, these album covers are magnificent for making a collage of vintage-looking framed images. How to: Buy an even number of albums that are similar in color range, buy square frames to frame each, then hang 5 rows by 5 columns. Very cool wall art.

From out of town? Page's has hung a wall map where visitors have pinpointed there hometown. You can see Page's is quite a popular visit-spot if you're living in the southeast!

If this beauty had not already been purchased, you would definitely see it in my bedroom. For $150, you just can't beat this fantastic thrifty find.

These colored glass spheres make for interesting decoration pieces for inside or outside spaces.

The perfect chair for a cushion project. The frame itself is in great condition and has a unique style. Grab some cushion stuffing and printed fabric, makes for a great accent chair.

The print of the fabric and condition of the wood frame are perfect. A little elbow grease and this is an easy piece to get up and running in your home. Create a small back pillow with a complimenting pattern and you have a chair that looks brand new!

I'm a sucker for old trunks. If you ask me, this can be used anywhere.


Age is a beautiful thing.

Great for space-filling wall art. You could paint this as well, but I recommend leaving as-is when it comes to something as crafted as this!

Perfect for planting back-porch plants. Place plants needing less sunlight underneath in brown terracotta pots, plus they'll catch any excess water.

Entrance to auction barn around back.
