Or a purse. Pick up a book about Savannah gardens and drop it on your coffee table at home. Take home some soaps. Or fall in love with the china. And book ends. Or tablecloths. Or seasonal figurines. Or funny wall signs. You can easily throw down some cash and redecorate your house after coming here. Because there is one thing you will find for certain here: inspiration.

If you are like me and THINK you like to go antiquing until you spend a day looking at piles of…read morejunk that looks like your grandmother's rejects, then you should try going to Bobby Todd's. This is what I think antique stores should look like. Everything is displayed beautifully and the furniture is not rickety garbage. Not all pieces are old, but worthy of being placed with antiques. Great accessories, not just shelves of carnival glass. Someone mentioned the prices are higher than some, but my daughter and I felt like they were lower than antiques in Knoxville and much lower than antiques in Atlanta or Nashville. The prices may be high for Sweetwater standards, but it is by far the nicest store in Sweetwater. The town itself is cute and worth the drive.

Vintage artwork and placemats? Sign me up. A facade and window display that instantly lure you in? You just wait and see. Neighboring bookstore that is cute as a button? Uh huh. Clearly you need to visit Coldstream Market the next time you're rolling through Knoxville. Note that its less than two blocks to Market Square which is filled with several great eateries, public art and musicians. Perfect hour -two hour pit stop along 75!

I will definitely be stopping by A & R first if there is a particular item that I am looking for, or even if I'm not looking for anything specific and just want to see some neat stuff. FYI: they are cash only, so make sure you stop by an ATM first before you go, because you will surely find at least one thing you want.
