It's been awhile. Today I went to something called Vintage Garage Chicago and died due to an antiques and uncommon treasures overdose. Seriously, I would recommend this to anyone who loves to go outside the box in relation to eclectic fashion and unique interior decor. Located inside a parking garage on North Broadway, admission is only $3 for 3 floors of a variety of different vendors, all with different prices and collections of items of the past.
Anything you could ever want was at this venue. TONS of jewelry ranging from cheap to pricey, lots of vintage clothing (like even from the 20's), furniture, artwork, books, kitchenware, and any kind of nick-knacks you could imagine.
These are just a few snapshots I took of some of the vendors. Now that you've got an idea of the set-up, I'll show you all what I got. Since the vendors came from all over the place, many of them were very willing to bargain on the prices. For instance this rose metal candle holder I got below was listed for $18 and she gave it to me for $10.
And then for these two throw pillows they were originally $9 a piece but she gave me the 2 for $15.
And then this last item that I bought, I didn't bargain at all because I JUST wanted it. Not quite sure yet what I'm going to put inside it or where I'm going to hang it, but I know I'm obsessed with it. Maybe I'll paint it who knows. You can't see it but it has a little door you can open too. $36 and well worth it.
After shopping, I hit up Ann Sather's for some cinnamon rolls, which are the best I think I've ever had, and ate lunch at Jerry's Sandwiches which was really good and had like a thousand sandwiches on the menu so that was difficult. Good way to spend a Sunday in northern Chicago.
