Business Spotlight<br />
For over 30 years Mary and Walter Lee worked with her<br />
mother, who ran an estate sale business. They would purchase<br />
the assets of a home like the furniture and such and<br />
then sell it off piece by piece. These items sold would move<br />
on to make other families happy. After the Lees retired they<br />
When you arrive you<br />
will also notice the vast<br />
collection of excellent<br />
furniture, tableware, and<br />
other home accessories<br />
all in various styles and<br />
prices.<br />
When you come to the vintage car, turn there to find<br />
Southern Vintage Market.<br />
your hands along a tabletop you will recall the table your<br />
aunt had at her home. And when you pick up a set of gobles<br />
you might even recall a special day from your past where<br />
you raised a toast in the honor of someone special.<br />
Southern Vintage Market is full of memorable novelty<br />
items and prosaic items. Each with their own story. Each<br />
with a past. But because of the Lees they each also have a<br />
future.<br />
To visit Southern Vintage Market you will need to go<br />
Wednesday through Saturday 10-5 p.m. They are located at<br />
8111 Hwy 119 1 mile south of Publix.<br />
decided to take a step of faith and open of their own antique<br />
shop, Southern Vintage Market. That was over two years ago.<br />
What really sealed the deal of opening their own storefront<br />
was when the Lees attend a going out of business sale.<br />
It was not uncommon for them to attend these sales for their<br />
estate business. But what transpired would change their<br />
retirement plans. The company that went out of business<br />
served it community faithfully for 95 years and over that<br />
time they acquired many unique pieces of furniture. The<br />
Lees bidded on and bought many items, but one piece really<br />
caught their eye. It was a 35 foot long and over 8 feet high<br />
display case that really stood out. It was the last item to be<br />
sold at this sale. The Lees knew they wanted it. So after a few<br />
rounds of bidding they won. But they had no idea on what<br />
to do with this stunning case now that they won it.<br />
As they Lees tell it they decided to open up Southern<br />
Vintage Market, if for no other reason than to have a place<br />
for this special item. And if you enter their store you cannot<br />
help but notice the dazzling case. When you arrive you<br />
will also notice the vast collection of excellent furniture,<br />
tableware, and other home accessories all in various styles<br />
and prices. You will find yourself picking up small pieces<br />
that bring back memories from grandma’s house. As you run<br />
