Vintage Suitcases: AWESOME to corral clutter + decorate

on Sat, 11/10/2012 - 10:51

We love vintage suitcases!  

Stacked, vintage suitcases make great side + coffee tables, and can stash + organize all manner of clutter.

All this while looking awesome every day.

Travelers often buy old suitcases to pack up and keep safe souvenirs purchased on the road.

We especially like what a friend recently did with her suicase: she left it open with a seasonal harvest display.

Gorgeous, clever, cool!

Lots of vintage suitcases come into SoWa Vintage Market every Sunday 10-4.

See you at SoWa!

Upcycling Reclaimed Vintage Elements: John Warren Designs

on Wed, 10/24/2012 - 16:33

SoWa Vintage Market selects dealers for their ability to find cool collections of vintage that the customers at SoWa will enjoy.

One of the co-creators of SoWa Vintage Mkt, John Warren, not only has talent and a good eye, but this guy has skills.  He can build stuff.

Check out his website, and check out what he's made from stuff we've found.

www.johnwarrendesigns.blogspot.com

Bunches of old wood salvaged from a now demolished New England factory waiting for new life.

Some of that wood becomes a potting bench (painted smooth with milk paint + a hand rubbed wax finish).

Detail of old grate John found in a barn + embedded into the door.  

A pair of end tables/bedside tables from more of that wood.  Cool Horse heads found at a flea market.

Where does stuff at SoWa Vintage Market come from?

on Wed, 10/24/2012 - 15:50

Everyone wants to know, where does the stuff that people bring to SoWa Vintage Market come from?

Everywhere!

Seriously!

Finding stuff becomes a lifestyle.  A perpetual hunt.  Estate Sales, Yard sales, flea markets, antiques stores, auctions, thrift/secondhand stores, and, occassionally getting lucky + seeing something good someone else has thrown on trash day.  Everywhere.  We go on hunting expeditions where we knock on doors, American Pickers' style.  The idea is we see something we think has a good look and that someone can re-use.  It's good for the planet, it's good for the soul, it's a lot of fun finding stuff (not so much fun when you don't).   And it's great to match our treasures with people who really want to adopt them.

Check out these photos of stuff found at SoWa Vintage Mkt.

And stay tuned.  We're back in blog mode, so lots more coming.

SoWa Vintage Market, INSIDE, OPEN ALL YEAR, Sundays 10-4 and First Fridays 4-8.

Framed photo of vintage store found at a rural barn sale on the way to son's soccer game.

Scarves hand picked at a flea market while vacationing with the family on the Cape.

Awesome metal shelf found by digging it out of an overgrown mess of vines from a defunct CT antiques shop.

Picking at its most basic!

Our Lady of the Perpetual Hunt @ an antiques store on the way to a wedding on the Coast!

Collection of cast iron frying pans found one at a time, everywhere, ready for restoration.

Restored Frying pans, and other cool stuff, available at SoWa Vintage Market Sundays + First Fridays.
