What to Buy & What to Leave at Antique & Vintage Shops & Flea Markets!

What's good, what's really vintage, what's worth buying and what isn't? We're in the little town of Leitchfield, Kentucky today, meeting friends and shopping at the only antique & vintage sites for miles in any direction. I'm curious to see how they shop and what catches their eye...and what's available in two distinctly different types of selling venues.

The best, worst and only old things in the area come here, so how do we decide what is worth our efforts to bring to our esteemed collectors?

We start at the region's nicest (and only) pure antique and vintage shop, Country Squire, where a huge room full of pretty furniture, art glass, advertising, vintage kitchen and much more fills dealer displays and the owner's spaces.

There's a lot to learn in this store! We use our black light to see a full spectrum of "uranium" glass, from century-plus old Vaseline yellow to 1930s green and more. Why does one jadeite bowl glow, and another doesn't? Why does that amberina orange glow? Did McCoy make Little Red Riding Hood? That and a quilt that gives a tutorial on block patterns are welcome and fun ways to get hands-on knowledge to inform our antiquing journey.

After buying a fine 1950s canister set, we're on the way to the final hour of a semi-annual flea market near town. This is the other end of the spectrum, with large items are bargain priced during pack out, while the smalls are going fast. Can we find cool vintage our collectors will enjoy at a bargain price among the fodder, or are we too late? Come along and see how it all comes to a happy and chill ending!
