This month, I had a booth at our local Arts and Crafts Show. Even though we live in a small town, lots of people circulated through and it was fun to watch their reactions. Most of the other booths were strictly crafts so when they entered my antiques and collectibles ‘shop’ filled with memories, they would say things like, “Oh, my mom had a mixer like this!” “My grandmother wore an apron just like this one.” “Oh look! We used to wear this kind of jewelry.” You could just see the sentimental warm feelings that were stirred up as they browsed the glassware, old books, vintage sheet music, jewelry, prints and more. I even made gifts in a jar using vintage fabric for my lid covers and added an antique button on the bow. And the best part was, I got to sell to lots of happy customers!

Marketplace Vintage Selling

This past weekend, I reserved a table at a Ladies Retreat in Estes Park, Colorado and displayed my Vintage Jewelry. It was my first marketplace experience and it was so fun! :-D And I sold quite a bit too.

Even though I love vintage selling online, I now have the itch to additionally take some of my products out where the people are. I noticed that many of those who stopped by my table began reminiscing about grandma’s screw-back earrings or a retro pair that was similar to what they wore in high school. Just holding them and sharing their memories, prompted many a sale. Others bought the jewelry as unique gifts to take home to a special friend or relative.

As part of my signage, I inserted a photo of myself at the age of three into a vintage reproduction frame. It was quite appropriate – since I am vintage too!  ;-)
