Vintage Thrills, Thrifted Steals! Antique Shopping Adventure

The trifecta is here! A thrift store and a vintage boutique are springing up by Eastbrook Flea Market & Antique Mall, the one-stop place to find bargains, see cool vintage and find real antiques in Montgomery, Alabama. We scored a good flamingo painting on our last visit years ago...what will we find today?

Our first stop is the flea market/antique mall, where a combination of everything from vintage clothing and old housewares live between spaces filled with antique carved furniture, arts-and-crafts era pottery, classic American dinnerware and local memorabilia dating from the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement! We're immediately taken with a stylish Baccarat Rose Tiente decanter, but the 50% off costume jewelry shelf next to it produces our first buy. Once a 1950s department store, this place offers a mezzanine where MCM glass and 1910s dressers coexist, and a basement where you can find 75% off deals...if you can get to them!

We wrap up that store with a great buy on a Lladro elephant pair that should sell for over twice the $110 ticket price, then head next door to Helping Hands Thrift Store, where the best stuff fills a giant front window with the promise of vintage and collectible finds! A few things turn our heads, but it really is the new vintage market forming at the end of the strip that beckons us to continue on our quest for cool collectibles our customers crave. This place is just forming, but we get the benefit of shopping their pioneer dealers...new antique/vintage shops almost always have a few overlooked bargains, and this is no exception! We're excited to see a Vernon Kilns carafe in a fun color scheme, contemplate a large Metlox Sculptured Grape set at a very low price, then decide on a Syroco music-themed wall plaque at half of its recent eBay selling price.

Montgomery is much changed over the last 50 years, changing from the cradle of the Confederacy to the cradle of the Civil Rights movement, and we explore some of its rich history as we wend our way to a nearby farm market to prepare for a healthy journey ahead. We'll no doubt be back to shop here again!
