Market Imports in Raleigh

My apologies for two local-based posts in a row, but I wanted to share another neat place we visited this weekend! Market Imports is located at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh, and it's full of treasures. Mostly too-expensive-for-Emily's-budget treasures, but fun to browse, regardless. Here are some of the items that caught my eye...

I think this metal cabinet would be perfect in a craft room! ($395)



There were so many jars! They kind of looked like these ones from Pottery Barn, and at $26-$44 a pop depending on size, not too bad of a price. I'm sad I didn't leave with one.







I liked the number tags on these little galvanized pails. ($9.50 each)



This would be the perfect stool for beside a bed or sofa. ($95)



The Coast Guard daughter in me loved this life preserver ring. I don't have a great feel for what these typically go for, but I thought the price of $45 was pretty reasonable.



This bottle dryer, on the other hand, definitely seemed overpriced at $255, but I liked it anyway.



This guy would be cute next to a sofa, as well, or on a patio. ($265)



This teal lantern was missing a pane of glass and so was marked 40% off from its original price of $59. I was dissuaded from bringing it home, but one of you Carolina gals should go snatch it up!!



Favorite find of the day? These copper lanterns, $89 each.



Do you have a favorite antique shop near you?

  1. One of my favorite vintage shops is Everything But Grannie's Panties in Durham. Their inventory often comes from estate and house sales so you never know what you'll find there.
