414 Antiques

It was such an amazing day despite the rainy weather. We are so thankful for the love and support from this community and our family & fiends.

House of Hannah shared a beautiful testimony today about seeing God’s glory through a piece of ironstone! I pray this piece becomes a true 'Ebenezer stone' for her. (link posted below of her post for you to read)

It really got me thinking about how so many pieces in our homes look like simple decor on the surface, but carry deep spiritual and emotional weight underneath.

If you know me, you know I’m a deeply sentimental person. The small Polish pottery jar pictured here belonged to my mom.

She’s been gone for 13 years now—she never got to see me step into motherhood nor meet my girls. Yet every time I look at this little piece, it makes me smile. It’s a quiet, beautiful reminder of the honor and privilege I have to carry on her legacy every day.

These little reminders of God's grace and the people who shaped us are so precious and cherished.

I’d love to hear from you—do you have a "memory stone" or special piece in your home that holds a deep story for you? Drop a picture or share your story in the comments!

414 Antiques hit the road! 🚙🤍

After a multi-day buying trip through eastern Alabama and northern Georgia, I came home with an incredible haul! I visited 16 antique and thrift stores, found some amazing pieces, and made several great contacts for future sourcing trips.

My top three stops for quality finds and outstanding selection were:
🤍 Daves Antiques
🤍 Ringgold Feed & Seed Antiques
🤍 Somewhere In Time Antiques & Collectibles

Not only were the finds incredible, but the people behind these businesses were the true highlight. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine Southern hospitality made every stop memorable. I can't wait to go back.

One of the most meaningful moments of the trip, though, was visiting House of Hannah at Sweet Maple Vintage•Gifts•Home Decor. It was such a gift to see her beautiful space and spend a few quiet moments praying over her, her business, and every customer who walks through her booths.

There is something incredibly special about finding fellow business owners who love Jesus, cheer one another on, and genuinely want to see others succeed. God is moving through this little antique adventure in ways I never imagined, and I'm so grateful for the people He's placing along the journey.

If you're a small business owner trying to balance another full-time job, marriage, parenthood, friendships, and all the responsibilities that come with life, my encouragement is this: Find your people.

Yes, learn from others. Be inspired. Share decorating ideas, sourcing tips, and creative inspiration. But even more than that, find a community that will encourage you, celebrate your wins, pray for you through the hard days, and remind you that you don't have to build your dream alone.

Thank you to everyone who made this trip so special. I can't wait to share all the treasures that are headed to 414 Antiques!

Just a girl who loves all things rusty, chippy, weathered by life, and full of character.

Meet Vonda - the newest addition to our home. I like to name special furniture and other items just to give them more character. So when I found this dream of piece I knew she needed to be name and what better way to honor the previous owner by carrying on her name. She fits right in and has given a fresh new look to this space.

But I have to know, am I the only one who names furniture or items?
