If you love a true treasure hunt, Jeff Miller’s shop is for you!

Jeff developed a passion for antiques from his grandmothers and parents where he learned the importance of the past and gained an appreciation of antiques’ simple beauty. He acquired a large collection of McCoy pottery over the years. He didn’t become a dealer until 1994. He sold at historic Lakewood for 6 years and has been at Lakewood 400 for 3 years.
Jeff’s passion is and always has been pottery, porcelain and glassware, but that is a small part of the treasures in his shop today. If you are searching for something unique, you may find it here although you may have to dig a little to uncover it! Fun! You’ll find decoratives both artistic and functional, lamps and chandeliers, linens, mid-century modern … you name it … it’s there, even a old portable fireplace perfect for your holiday setting! He offers “affordable” art (originals and one of a kind). But one thing he enjoys the most is mixing different elements, styles and eras.
Jeff grew up on a farm in Rome. Outside, he seems a quiet man, but inside he feels he should have been a comedian. Just get him talking! He loves gardening, the piano, and music, and refers to Lakewood 400 dealers as his closest friends and family.
Be sure to check out this shop in Hall C. It’s full of treasures!

THE MAGPIE / THE WITCHES APOTHECARY ~ HALL G 412 October 15, 2013

Most of the time, The Magpie, Ann Osborne’s shop is filled with garden and nature oriented treasures which reflect the background of this talented lady. Ann is a creative artist who has spent years painting murals in homes across the US.

But in September and October, her shop transforms into “The Witches Apothecary”.

All year she concocts

potions which she offers for the Halloween fan with all the trimmings. With that little twinkle in her eye, you have to wonder if Ann is really a witch … a good witch for sure! This is a fabulous shop to see.

Ann’s Bacon Cookers .
Great Gift!

Ann does have her famous Bacon Cookers in her shop this month (they make great gifts) among the skulls, pumpkins, crows, spiders …

Antiques, Art and Objects of Interest. That’s the short description of Tim Schoen Antiques. His eclectic collection covers the late 1800’s to the 1930’s with a few items up to 1950. He features Folk Art, especially Georgia and North Carolina potters, and some higher end pottery. Another passion … older steamer trunks which he refurbishes. You’ll find sports memorabilia and with Christmas coming up, maybe an antique fishing lure or other unique gift for the sports enthusiast in your life. One more passion, Tim loves boxes and containers of all kinds. That’s just a few of the treasures you’ll find in Tim’s shop. There is so much more to see!

Tim is retired from the educational publishing business but has been an antique dealer for over twenty years. As with most of us, the hunt is most enjoyable. Of the 15-20 shows Tim and his partner, Sue, do a year, he considers Lakewood 400 the most important.

Check out this interesting shop in Hall H 524.

Dollie Caruthers has been with Lakewood for years with her fun and somewhat historical shop. For sure you will enjoy the tunes playing on the “record player”.Stuff Like That features a great collection of Vinyl Records, all RPM’s including children’s and sound tracks.

Packed in there are license plates, toys and books, ephemera from the early 1900’s through the 1970’s, vintage wine bottles, advertisements and textiles, to start. Plan to spent some time and peek in the corners. You might be surprised at what you find here.

Dollie relocated to Georgia from Mineola (Long Island), NY in 1994. She is pictured with partner Willie Bell. Don’t forget to ask Dollie the historical significance of her pieces.

RAY BURNETTE ~ HALL C 120-121 October 2, 2013

Ray Burnette started playing music at 14 years old. Raised in Alpharetta, Georgia, he plays the guitar, drums, bass, harmonica, fiddle and probably a little of anything else put in his hands. About 40 years ago, he started collecting Cookie Jars and old Clothes Sprinklers. It’s a most interesting combination, but you will see an awesome collection of both in his shop all the way back in Hall C. Beautiful instruments he collected over the years which he is now parting with. But what’s even better, there is usually a concert going on back there!
If you are musically inclined or know someone who is, this shop is a must. Don’t forget Christmas coming up! And as for the Cookie Jars, who doesn’t love cookies or remember the jar your Mother or Grandmother had!
See Ray’s treasures in Hall C and hear him play!

He lived in Hawaii for 25 years, raised his family and had a saw mill where he worked with the rare Koa wood pictured to the right.

You’ll find slab lumber in Walnut, Cherry, Ash and Hickory from Missouri. But that’s just the start of this collection which started small and grew. There’s tons of antiques and collectibles from all over the world.

Richard has 7 children, 12 grandchildren (plus two more on the way) and 4 great grandchildren. He and his wife Angela (with Richard above) love to travel cross country their “boys” Rex and Snoopy.

Going to the back of Hall F is a fun true treasure hunt where you might uncover just about anything! Be sure to stop and chat with Richard and Angela. He has so many stories to tell!

Effie Jones of Strutts “Stepping High to Satisfy,” graced historic Lakewood Antiques Market before coming to Lakewood 400. She loves to offer one of a kind, gently worn name brand fashions and handbags, often with matching gloves and more. You’ll also find furniture and vintage items, sometimes glass, linens and toys. She also shops for customers during the holidays.
Lakewood 400 is “a small version of the big old Lakewood”, says Effie. “Hall A is a reminder of the outside courtyard, but only now it’s on the inside.”
This is one busy lady when not at Lakewood. She is a Community Advocate event planner and provides school supplies to needy kids in the neighborhood. Effie says she loves to travel, especially to Brandon, Florida, home to HSN Shopping Network outlet!

SEW MANY MEMORIES ~ HALL C 124 August 28, 2013

Dan and Melanie Leigh are partners in this business although their interest are quite different.
Melanie grew up with grandmothers and aunts who sewed, so sewing is in her blood. She started sewing at age 8 on a hand cranked machine.She has 10 machines that she uses sometimes 5 at a time, doing custom sewing, usually children’s clothing, gifts, American Girl outfits to match girls, window treatments and embroidery. Melanie is a Martha Pullen certified sewing teacher.
Here’s the clincher … Melanie does on site monogramming on just about anything … market totes, travel cups, napkins, pocket tee’s, children’s hoodie towels, water bottles and can koozies. Remember this when you are looking for a special gift!
Dan Leigh at Lakewood 400 Dan, on the other hand, is truly into advertising and pottery, mostly North Georgia … Meddels, Crocker, etc. But his end of this shop is full of antiques and collectibles.
Between them, Dan has two sons, Melanie has two daughters, and one granddaughter. Both are retired postmasters from the Atlanta district.
They recently purchased a 3 year vacant home in Free Home on 3 acres and are in the process of remodeling.
According to Dan, “thanks to our faith in each other and God we are still together. Remodeling is not for the faint of heart!”
