with Scarlett Scales Antiques.

I've been in business for a little over 10 years now

and my old store was actually in one of Franklin's

only existing shotgun houses.

We recently expanded to a much larger space

right around the corner, which is in an old

Sears and Roebuck house that they ordered

from the Sears and Roebuck catalog.

My family were among the first to settle

Williamson County long time ago.

In fact, I grew up in my family's ancestral plantation home

and I've always been surrounded by antiques.

It's just always been a part of my life.

My parents liked to go antiquing as a hobby

when I was young.

At first, I kind of got dragged with them

and didn't really want to have to go.

Then I became more interested in it and just developed

a passion for antiques and a love of old pieces

and finding them new homes and decided to open

an antique business and make my passion my living

right here in Franklin.
