Thrifting: it's the new retail

5/18/2012

by Kitty Breed, Heart Vintage Designs
​Back in the 80's I was like everyone else, hitting the malls and buying everything new. I got really good at finding great retail bargains. It didn't hurt that I was a size 8 and could always find clothes on sale. I ventured out a bit into the the world of thrifting at consignment shops in nearby towns. I had a good time. But when I went to the flea market where I lived, I found mostly cheap new stuff so I kind of forgot about it.
Nevertheless, I created some great collections via Etsy and retail sources. Over the course of the years my house got crowded and I realized that a good culling was in order. I thought maybe I could sell some of my stuff after donating several carloads to charities. 
Picture
Even if you're never thrifted before, it's not too late to start and I'll be glad to share a few pointers I've picked up along the way. For starters, get a GPS even if you're good with directions. Get to know a few vendors in your local area. When you're ready to open a booth of your own, their advice will be invaluable. Pick at every possible opportunity and get to know typical price ranges.

Most importantly, determine what makes up the essence of your style. Doing this isn't as easy as it sounds but it matters. Whatever it is that you always gravitate to will be what you can sell. One tip I can offer is to try to brand your personal style using only two words to help guide you in your purchases. {I cheat and use three words.  Mine are "Shabby Vintage Industrial."}

Don't sweat the small stuff. You'll learn as you go. Just don't spend too much on your wares and remember that thrifting is the new retail. You'll never go back.

flea market fun

5/15/2012

​There is a beautiful new look at local flea markets.  It's fun, fresh and inviting.  Vendors are setting up one of a kind shops sharing their artistic creations and restyled items.  They’ve found an inexpensive way to keep their overhead low and their prices affordable by selling at local flea markets.  Have a look at one of my favorite in Central Florida.... Renninger’s Twin Market.
​Every weekend over 400 vendors come to Renninger's Twin Markets in Mount Dora, Florida to sell a wide variety of items.  They have everything from fresh produce, crafts, furniture, jewelry to quality antiques and collectibles.  The market is divided into two unique shopping areas, the FLEA MARKET and the ANTIQUE MARKET.

Savvy shoppers arrive early on Saturday and Sunday mornings to browse the flea market side, where one can find new items brought in by their favorite dealers.  Moving on towards the field located at the back of the flea market shoppers can find estate type sales.  It's here where unique treasures can be found.  On the way out one can grab the freshest fruits and vegetables from local farmers.

Next stop is the Street of Shops, located at the antique side of the market.  It's a wonderfully peaceful place to spend mid-morning.  Quaint little shops line the street with beautifully decorated antiques shops.  Each shop is individually owned.

Wandering through the outdoor pavilion, one can find some of the most creative vendors at the market.  Each one with their own unique style.

In addition to being open every Saturday and Sunday Renninger's has several Antique Extravaganzas in the winter months. These events bring in dealers and shoppers from all over the country.

Tips for shopping the extravaganza

Picture
  • Arrive early to get the best parking spot. (Easier to fill the car with new treasures.)
  • Bring a cart to haul your items
  • Wear comfortable shoes and a hat.
  • Browse between the outside and inside dealers.  (The air-conditioned buildings will keep you cool )
  • Bring small bills.
