I've finished a couple of pieces of furniture for Porter Flea. These, of course, are clearly Asian in their imagery, but I have a couple of pieces that have a decidedly southwestern/south-of-the-border feel. I've also got another one of those amazing vintage folding chairs that looks like a regular wooden chair with an upholstered seat, but then, BAM! You fold it down to a small square with a slight tug on the hidden release! Vintage and upcycled lamps and ALL kind of goodies await you at the Flea!

2 Storeys Antiques
As you may have read in my previous posts, I kinda' have a collector's crush on Carter's Creek Station Antiques. Slightly off the beaten track in just barely Columbia TN, it's an old general store and grainery that houses many, many booths of antique-y goodness. The grainery is a separate building across the street from the main location that has been growing and evolving over the past couple of years. There is a space in it that had been converted into a funky, little apartment at one point, but recently has opened as its own antique store. Carol and Bubba Storey have been one of my two favorite vendors at Carter's Creek ever since I bought my 1963 combo record player/hifi/TV from Bubba and he drove it all the way to Nashville and helped me load it in the front door. I have since made many a happy purchase from the 2 of them and I am thrilled that they've opened their own spot in addition to their existing booth in the grainery, 2 Storeys Antiques. They could not be more fun-loving and friendly and they always have fantastic deals on great items. Below is just the tiniest selection off items available at 2 Storeys.
Like Carters Creek Station, 2 Storeys offers layaway. Their hours are Thursday - Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 1-5.
