Main Street Market

We are so excited to be participating in the The Urban Farmgirl's "Main Street Market" on May 10th! Mary has put together a great little vintage market right in our area. 


She chose the perfect little spot to hold a vintage market.  Check out these grounds!

 The historic Midway Village in Rockford is representative of a typical rural town at the end of the 19th century.


 Some of the 26 historical structures include a general store, a hardware store, a barbershop, a church and many others.


Vendors will be sprinkled among the Village grounds.  There will be plenty of "vintage goods and pretty things" from the over 50 handmade and vintage vendors.

Here's just a sprinkling of what we will be bringing…plenty of our "Vintage Girl" t-shirts and necklaces, clocks, scales, ironstone, silver, signs, baskets, tins, farm junk and much more!!!

Here are some pictures of when we have shared a booth with Mary.  Together we really "bring it!"

If you really want a treat, head out to Mary's shop, Urban Farmgirl in Rockford. It's filled with vintage goodness!
And to keep updated on all things Main Street Market, be sure to head over to the markets Facebook page here and "LIKE" it!
See you May 10th!

Coastal Charm

We were thrilled to be asked to be featured on Coastal Charm's blog. Linda has a great new series on little shops called "Shop Talk".  Small family run businesses need all the help they can get to be noticed.  So being featured on a beautiful, inspirational blog is sort of a big thing!  Even when our shop "friends" mention us on their blogs, it makes us so happy! So a big thank you to Linda from Coastal Charm for featuring us and all the other little shops out their! She even hosts a weekly linky party called Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.  So show her a little "Vintage Girl" love and check her blog out here... Coastal Charm. 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Get out their and go find something wonderful....old, and wonderful that is! Happy junking! For all you local girls...come see us...we're open Saturday from 10-3pm.

We have been busy lately trying to squeeze in as many picking trips as we can.  Last week we "picked" up a little shop dog....Mr. Banks.  We also brought home other great finds too. 




























Shop Girl would be thrilled if you came to see her this weekend! We will be open Friday and Saturday from 10am to 3pm.  Come see us!

Shop Girl is One today!!

Our shop girl Mary Jane is One Year's Old today! 

She is the cutest Tattered Tique at the shop, and probably works harder than her Aunt GiGi! 
At the shop she.....
Checks customers out....more than Aunt GiGi....
She works her stations.....
She stocks shelves.....
She makes messes.....
She takes selfies......
And she melts hearts.
Happy Birthday Meem! We love you!
