On a recent trip with my fam to Atlanta, I finally had a chance to visit the famous Scott Antique Market. With my brother and sister off to the aquarium for the afternoon, my parents and I had all day to peruse the aisles of trinkets.

With all the lusting after gorgeous silver, china, jewelry, and furniture, I couldn't help but think of the 10 Commandments- one in particular...Thou Shalt not covet. Ooops.

Raised in the South with a love of Spanish moss, craftsman bungalows and front porches, I am Emily Hines, writer, dreamer and beer drinker. You can find me strolling down a century old city block snapping iPhone photos of colorful facades and searching for flea market treasures.

With my burly husband Ryan, I enjoy searching for edible mushrooms to escape the hum of the city. He proudly donned the beard and man bun way before it reached the masses – a critical point he’ll remind you of whenever he sees an Urban Outfitters.

Dog mom to two wild black lab pups: Junebug, in honor of the summer beetles she’d follow around as a puppy and Lula, my swimmer who was named after the Tallulah river in Georgia. Both constant companions.

My traveling goal is to find the hidden gems. There are stories everywhere, you just have to find them. Let’s hit the road.
