We're traveling cross country, and we're stuffing every corner of the van with the deals we find on the way to our big show next weekend in Portland! Fortunately, we hit Nampa, Idaho early enough to find fun and treasure at a block full of antique and vintage malls and shops! What bargains can we find to take to delight our customers?
The cornerstone of this antique vintage complex is Village Antique Mall, long-established but looking great under new management! I haven't seen this place in 20 years, but its two floors seem replete with cool stuff, in part because so many people are moving here and bringing their heirlooms with them. We head downstairs first, where we suspect bargain priced merchandise may lurk...and we break the ice right away with a larger painted Russian fairy tale box for only $10!
Quality is good here, as we find everything from elaborately carved chess sets and inlaid chairs to good pieces of antique Goofus and Carnival glass. Collections of Red Wing crocks, English and Capodimonte applied floral displays, Pyrex at fair prices and a crazy table with a very specific use make this a lot more than a bargain basement! We go upstairs to score deals on designer sunglasses, studio pottery and Alaskana, shop some vintage hats (uh-oh!) and pretty gold dresser items, and find a lot of fun and cool collections for sale that should make this mall a stop for serious collectors passing through the Boise area.
The big surprise is how the rest of the building is transforming into little antique shops as well! We window shop two that are weekend-only affairs, but score some great buys in Utter Clutter, whose proprietor offers us deals we can't refuse on Christmas ornaments, ribbon art, barware, canisters, a fun Murano bowl...the list keeps growing!
We leave with the van packed solid, and a great feeling about what we have to bring to @rosecityvintagemarket4294 this weekend! I have a feeling I won't own this stuff for very long.
