Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. ~Pierce Harris

Welcome to the Grassy Valley Antiques "official" blog. We are an antique and vintage marketplace located in the heart of Fountain City, TN. Our store is comprised of vendors who scour the globe for treasures, modern day pirates without the peg legs and scurvy. They hear the echoes of the past whispered by items that are vital and useful and not ready to be relegated to spend eternity in some dusty attic. You can read about some of our latest discoveries here, or you can come see for yourself. Who knows you may leave with a treasure of your own....

Second Chances


I don’t wear hats very often, practically never.  A friend once told me I look funny in hats and that was enough to eradicate them from my wardrobe forever.  It’s sad really, because hats offer such a world of possibilities and provide an inexpensive way to jump start a tired wardrobe.  Whether you’re trying convey a sense of mystery and intrigue, or bring out your inner Marlene Dietrich the right hat can do the job. 

We have gotten a slew of hats in the shop recently and the tiny velvet ribbons and birdcage veils are calling to me.  I had to share some of my favorites because they are just so delectable.


They even make me willing to give hats another try.
