An unexpected car problem leads to antique shopping bliss in a new place! Southern Pickers in Tifton, Georgia has been on our radar, and when the (usually) trusty van says it's time for a mechanical "spa day", we get to see what picking we can do in this interesting hybrid antique and boutique mall.

Stylish is the word for the displays here, and the blending of antiques with art, crafts, clothing and new decor gives us a chance to show you how we divine the old and vintage items from those other items that contribute to the magnetism of the mall. Fortunately, antiques are in abundance, from handsome carved American oak to enameled Victorian pitchers, and vintage finds vary from a scarce Gene Autry cap gun in original box to 1930s pocket watches and 1960s costume jewelry!

How do we find the real deals in such a varied group of wares? We offer tips (Look down! Look up!) and tricks (like how to quickly tell if an "on sale" space is worth your time digging), designed to make a collector excursion to fun antique venues like this worth your while. We show what we find and why we think it's worth buying, and point out some other potential bargains along the way.

Sweet dealers and viewers, honest mechanics and the lure of more vintage shops yet untouched make Southern Pickers and the other shops of TIfton a welcome new stop on the long stretch between Atlanta and Florida! We go home with fun finds for our collectors and a new appreciation for vintage in the cotton belt.
