Antique Show Prep in Florida! | Picking Through Vintage Modern Treasures 

This weekend is the annual Sunshine City Antique Show in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and I’m picking through my "Vintage Modern St. Pete" mall space to pack for it! How do I decide what to leave, and what to take, when both places will be so busy?
This episode gives you a teaser look at St. Petersburg, Florida’s antique district, and some of the great mid-century pieces at the über cool Vintage Modern St. Pete antique mall. But mostly, it’s a fun review of the wide variety of things I sell in my space there, with conversation about how a dealer decides what goes to a show, what goes online to sell and what stays in the retail space.
On the way to my booth, we encounter Brutalism on one side, and a shiny happy Raymond Loewy designer set on the other side. We walk through an ocean of vintage fashion to reach my showcase, filled with Native American baskets and a rare Pre-Columbian jaguar effigy vessel.
My space is filled with art, vintage collectibles, decor and furniture, but some of these things don’t look like the other! I cull out the traditional and Victorian pieces to take to the show, while explaining why I’m leaving the amazing clock, the fab lucite lamp and the kidney-shaped table for the mall to sell. At the end, I review what I’m taking to the antique show and why.
I hope my review of my favorite Florida modernist mall space helps you learn more about antique and vintage items, and share my encounters with them in the real world. I love sharing our passion and this community, and hope we will all help each other with our antique education.
Here’s some more of what I find:
Turner exotic bird print, Camel cigarette display, Tarkay prints, Dali print, Drypoint engraving, Floridiana, Treasure Craft Hawaii figures, Weller pottery, Kosta Boda glass, Lladro, Victorian exotic bird carafe, motion lamp clock, Murano glass, stained glass lamps, Lane Brutalist dressers, Seminole jacket, Alaska baskets, Pre-Columbian art, Cybis figurines, Lenox Rapunzel, designer lamps, advertising and ephemera
