Getting ready for Second Urban Vintage Bazaar

I hope a lot of you vintage shoppers have already marked your date books (or entered the date into your phone, hah!) for this year's Urban Vintage Bazaar, November 10th and 11th on the Brown University Campus!  I've started working in my basement, looking through the goodies to see what I'll bring with me this year.  So far I'm sure I'm bringing two full cases of vintage jewelry.  I also have several boxes with vintage planters and pottery, kitschy bookends, vintage books, and vintage kitchenware.  I'm still trying to find some vintage toys I know I have down there -- I've found a few vintage dolls.  Haven't decided whether to bring vintage linen this year.  What do you think?  Make sure you save some money for this event -- you're sure to find some great holiday gifts!

Some Yummy Goods From Archetype Vintage!

Archetype Vintage is saving these for the bazaar. Two designer butterfly print dresses, one a Hanae Mori knit and the other a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress with tags! Plenty more designer goodies will be there too. Also some cute vintage jewelry cases and this lovely little pink makeup mirror with a matching case.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

The Urban Vintage Bazaar is tomorrow!  Hit the ATM, eat a good meal, lay out your comfortable shoes and get some rest - you will want to be ready for this!  We wanted to add a post here as a reminder of the variety of items and vendors we will have.  From those specializing in vintage clothing, accessories and jewelry, to mid-century enamelware and industrial chic, to books and art to vinyl records, there will be something at the Bazaar for everyone! 

We'll have fashions for men as well as women, from all time periods and at all price points!

Colorful costume jewelry for every day or formal wear will be offered from many vendors!

Designer goods more your thing?  We've got that too!  Some gently used and some never worn and still with the tags!  Both vintage and "late model" designs...

Love the obscure and hard to find stuff?  Check out this selection of 1960's hosiery all mint in the packages - and this is just from one vendor!

Oh, and a big PS!  Two of our vendors have decided to split their spaces with other sellers.  That means we will also have both funky vintage children's items from Jesse's Threads and even more vinyl from What Cheer Antiques on the floor!

Vendors are also bringing linens, holiday items (Thanksgiving and Christmas), housewares, luggage, and so much more!  Check out the previous posts on this blog, pics on our Facebook Page and pics on our Facebook event page to see all the photos shared to date.  This is still just the tip of the iceberg, however, you have to come to the Bazaar to see it all!
