Vintage Charm
Are you a flea market fanatic? Love a good garage sale? Go gaga over thrift stores? If you can answer YES to any of these questions this post is for you!
Many a wedding or private event can be embellished with items from a thrift or resale shop! If you’re a bride or mother of the bride, don’t be surprised if you find what you’re looking for at a great vintage store. It’s worth taking a look! Incorporating gently used tablecloths, linen napkins, glass, and other barely used treasures can cut your decor budget substantially.
Since we are from the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA area, we’re going to tell you about the awesome choices in our own back yard.
Owner Terry Chesky and Joanne Cain of Katherine’s Daughter Events have been friends for many years! This is one of our favorite stops for home decor and a room upstairs is solely devoted to it. There are racks of clothing upstairs and down, a shoe section, designer purses, jewelry, handmade items, and even a maternity section. You owe it to yourself to visit Consignment Cottage on a regular basis to check out the new additions!
Kinsey Vintage Market has more than 50 antique, artisan, and small brick and mortar small businesses from all over the tri-state area. The artisan vendors include handmade items, such as hand-poured candles, repurposed jewelry, seasonal floral pieces, and small batch chocolate that blend perfectly with the antique dealers. This market runs seasonally so be sure to check their website often to see when the next one is!
Vintage Market Days® is an upscale vintage-inspired indoor/outdoor market featuring original art, antiques, clothing, jewelry, handmade treasures, home décor, outdoor furnishings, consumable yummies, seasonal plantings and a little more. Vintage Market Days® events are so much more than a flea market. Each Vintage Market Days® event is a unique opportunity for vendors to display their talents and passions in creative venues. Again this is a seasonal event so be sure and get on their mailing list!
Let us know in the comments section below if you have a favorite flea market, consignment store, or thrift store and we’ll add it to our list!. We’d also love to hear your stories of re-purposing gently used items in creative ways!
Joanne, check out Eclectic Treasures on Brodhead Road just north of Flaugherty Run Rd. They have great stuff too, at great prices.
Thank you for the tip! I certainly will!
Joanne, you are too kind! And “right-back-atcha” for your expertise and caring ways as a wedding coodinator! I’ll have to stop in to meet Kelly! Her store sounds awesome!
Hi Terry! It is a pleasure to promote both your stores and Kelly’s too! Much love â¤!
