Market at the Museum every Wednesday and Saturday! Let's Go Antiquing, Downtown! One person's attic is another person's treasure and you never know what you will find until you joint the treasure hunt downtown in a full-fledged antique search for the one-of-a-kind collectables. Whether it is re-used, re-furbished or just replaced in your home, you can make your décor unique or a throwback to times gone by with some walking shoes. Oh, and a truck or SUV to haul your findings home. Furniture, quilts, vintage clothing and jewelry are a few of the items that you can find on your trek through the district and here is where to find them: • Diane's Vintage Market at 242 Hay Street has a wide selection of furniture and other collectables including jewelry and accessories as well as wall hangings, clocks and ornamental glassware. • Shops at 123 Hay Street has beautiful antique furniture, home décor, lamps, vintage dresses and more, things are constantly moving around and changing, which definitely signals it is a fantastic place to go. • The New Thrifty Patriot and Country Villa Online Consignments located at 226 Franklin Street is the place to go for that Fayetteville and Cumberland County memorabilia that you may remember, but want to add to your collection, along with furniture and books that might be on your list as well. • The Cotton Exchange at 226 Donaldson Street is somewhere you can spend an entire afternoon. There is something in every nook and cranny in this 7000 square foot antiques mall with more than 20 vendors sharing their unique collections and wares and on 4th Fridays, there are free rides around downtown on the Cotton Exchange Express so do not miss the train! • The Livery, another collection of independent vendors set up like the Cotto Exchange, is located at 147 Maxwell Street and has a fantastic selection of art work, furniture, quilts and much more. Inventory is constantly changing so check back often to see the new pieces offered. • Lodestone Art & Antiques at 223 W. Russell Street is the great place to find those "old" things. Metal art, furniture made the right way from years past and other booths full of attic findings make this a destination and a good start for any antique business. Of course, after a long day of shopping, you need to rest your feet and attend to your rumbling belly so make plans to go over your purchases at lunch or dinner at one of our patio restaurants and think about adding a glass of wine as well after all you are celebrating your vintage treasures. Enjoy! If you would like to know about more places to shop or dine downtown, visit www.visitdowntownfayetteville.com or pick up a "Where to Find Antiques in Downtown Fayetteville" map in any of the places mentioned above. Save the Date for the Whimsical Dogwood Auction! This has been such an amazing project and thousands have now picked up brochures for the walking tour (with countless others) and it is almost time for the Whimsical Dogwood auction on October 16 at Park View so if you see one you like, think about bidding! Pieces will be retouched by artists and ready for permanent installation around Fayetteville and Cumberland County! Imagine them in your garden or at your business as a focal piece.
