This weekend I had the pleasure of stumbling upon a small vintage flea market hosted by a local brick and mortar shop, Vintage City. It was my very first time stopping into the store and I cannot say how delighted I was! Not only was the cozy little shop beautifully curated, but they also had refreshments (lemonade and what looked like brownies or fudge). And the stuff! Oh my goodness the stuff! The owners, Marla Rae and Bill were the nicest of folk. They were kind enough to let me poke around, take as many pictures as I wanted, and they even humored my request for a picture of them. I made a very long mental list of things I want from the shop, and came home with butterscotch Bakelite earrings (eek!), a fantastic orange bracelet, an old photograph, a hilarious novelty dishcloth, and some fiesta-ware for my mother (I'll be sharing pictures of my haul later on I'm sure). Such a wonderful balm to a vintage soul! I'll definitely be visiting again!

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jen and I just want to say welcome to blog-land and to Minot! I stumbled upon your blog through Marla's Facebook page and have to say I'm so excited to see another gal in Minot who loves vintage (there don't seem to be too many of us around here)! I simply adore the dress and shoes in your profile picture. I wish I could dress vintage everyday but you are right, it is hard to find vintage clothes around here! Am loving your blog so far and I'm glad you found Vintage City...it's the best (and friendliest) little vintage shop in town! If you'd like, check out my blog at http://colormyworldbyjen.blogspot.com/
Have a Happy Vintage Day!
