Typography

Vintage Typography is a hot item and this is a fine example-- right here in the 'Ville. We love the lettering and the Art Deco style. We hear this building will soon be home to Quiznos--we hope they preserve the retro facade and we look froward to seeing the new signage, but we'll miss the vintage typography. Love the use of this form of art in home decor--don't you?

New Vendor--"Attic Addicts"

On your next trip to OCT be sure to check out our new upstairs vendor--"Attic Addicts".  We are sharing a few pics of some of the items they are bringing in as they stock their booth.  You need to check it out for yourself---you'll be glad you did!

Comfort Food

Don't you love those old recipes that remind you of your mom or your grandmother.  Lot's of times you find them in a vintage recipe box like this one that we have in stock at OCT.  It is kinda sad that we don't often write recipes on index cards any more to pass along and share with others. It is so much fun to flip through a recipe box like this and remember those who were special to you. When you read through the favorite old recipes you recall the person that shared the recipe and often, the fun times you had with that friend or family member--don't you agree?

Wondering what to do this Weekend?

How about a trip to OCT?  We've got a great selection of Vintage and Retro goods along with Antique and New items.  Home decor, furniture, retro clothes and vintage items.  We have 2 floors packed full for you to browse and enjoy.  A real "treasure" in downtown Milly--Come see for yourself!

When Pigs Fly

BBQ and Good Ole Boys--That's what we like about the South.  We are proud to be part of the Southern BBQ Belt.  Smiling Pigs are fixtures on Georgia Roadsides.  Here are a few places in our area where you can do some "Swine Dining" so check it out.  And we can't mention BBQ without looking ahead to our very own Deep Roots Festival.   The web site is up and the BBQ competition applications are available here http://www.deeprootsfestival.com/.  Georgia Bob's says it best--Put Some South in Your Mouth!

Vintage Vessels

At OCT we have a great selection of Vintage Decanters. Think summer cocktails, home barware, or just decorative accent pieces. We have a wonderful varitey of decanters. They make great wedding gifts and can become a first family heirloom. We especially love the ceramic character decanters from the 50's which are highly collectible and what about the two in cobalt blue? They would be great for wine, liquor or sparkling water. The cut glass decanters are classic and work well with any decor. Come see us and pick out one for your next party or gift.

Vintage Traveler

You know we love old things at OCT--you will find lots of vintage luggage, books, cameras, typewriters and many other vintage items like these-- just what you need to add that special "collected over time" look to your home decor.  Come see us for all your vintage goods--we'll be ready for you!
