20th Century Vintage POPPING UP in Maylands

Over the last week or so we’ve been busy setting up the next instalment of Vintage Emporium and this time around the retailers in store will be 20th Century Vintage and Tumbleweed on Third.

The new store opens Wednesday 3rd October 2012 at 10am, that’s today, and you can find us on the bustling little cafe strip at 216 Whatley Crescent in Maylands just up from the corner of 9th Avenue.

It definitely needed a bit of work, but after a bit of paint, time and effort we’re really pleased with how well the shop looks.

Check out the before and after shots. It’ll give you a bit of an idea about how a bit of paint has transformed it.

Before

After

For all the locals in the area I’m sure you’d recognise this old building as it housed a great secondhand shop called Ivy Forado for over 13 years.

I’ve got lots of new old finds ready for our opening today, including  a great range of retro, mid century modern and vintage collectables, interiors, kitchenalia, ceramics glassware, accessories etc. etc… So I hope you can drop in and say hi and maybe find yourself a treasure or two.

20th Century Vintage at We Heart Vintage Market

Mt Lawley is a great vibrant area and on the first Saturday of each month it comes even more alive with the We Heart Vintage Monthly Market.

The market takes place at the very well known hang out of The Flying Scotsman, in the back bar called the Velvet Lounge. Whilst the Velvet Lounge gets filled with a fantastic range of vintage clothing sellers, you’ll find 20th Century Vintage outside under the verandah.

Miss Johnson’s Vintage & Handmade Market

Miss Johnson’s Vintage & Handmade Market comes around twice a year usually in June & October, and I’ve had the pleasure of being involved over the last 3 events. The Guildford Town Hall has a great feel to it and the event always has loads of visitors. One of the delights of course is getting to meet the other sellers who you get to know and chat to over the period of the market days.

A couple of those other sellers who you may want to check out are Vintage Spinster and Pack Rat Vintage Goods

Had a great time, with lots of happy customers with their new old purchases….

Below are some snaps of the retro and vintage goodies that walked out the door.

For those of you who couldn’t make it this time around, hope to see you in October and I’ll keep you posted with market dates and new retro wares that will be available.
