Welcome to Vintage Décor Buddies! We will be providing lots of interesting and helpful information for those looking at selling or collecting vintage items in this blog website. Our many years of experience and knowledge will help you succeed in this exciting, never-ending trend and assist in avoiding mistakes often made by people just getting into the world of vintage. We will share the secrets of success. You are going to have so much fun!
The feeling that comes over us as we walk into a vintage or antique store or booth is not easily explained but it certainly conjures up a nostalgic, retrospective mood and the desire to go back to the happy times earlier in life.
The smells of the ornate wood furniture, the bright colors of the vintage clothing, the feel of the shiny porcelain cannot be matched anywhere else…except maybe in grandma’s attic.
If you are lucky enough to have antique malls and vintage boutiques in your area, take advantage of the fun of exploring yesteryear. We guarantee you will hear or make comments like “I remember my grandpa had one of these,” or “my mom used to cook with this iron skillet and use the Pyrex dishes like these” or perhaps, “I used to play pinball all the time as a kid, look at this old machine!”
Sauntering through an antique mall creates a feeling of peace as well as a need to purchase something from long ago to add to your lifestyle. As you move from booth to booth, you will find that some booths are beckoning you to come in and look while others are not so interesting. Some can be overpacked with stuff making it difficult to move within but we know many people find this the thrill of the hunt and the dig.
Vintage Décor Buddies tips for success
Our tips for success can be used in most any antique and vintage collection or selling endeavors. We have been collecting Capodimonte for the past 3 decades and added Royal Albert China, Lladro and other higher-end pieces to our collection over the years. We are always on the lookout for these types of items and we do sell some in our booths, as well.
However, not all collectibles are expensive if you search in the right places. And we will help you in that area in our next blog post.
Come back here often and learn more about vintage collections and treasure hunting and selling tips for success. We will guide you through it and you will soon be hooked on finding vintage décor buddies!
