✨ M E E T the S E L L E R ✨ Karly of started selling vintage online in April 2019, and is opening her NEW storefront in Halifax tomorrow at 2055 North Park St, across from the Halifax Commons. Her shop lives in the easily recognizable pink and blue historic house built in the late 1800s. Fun fact: It survived the Halifax Explosion!⁣
⁣
About her shop:⁣
“Florence was my grandmother’s name. This small business named after her began as a fun hobby and quickly grew into my full-time job. Our collection includes vintage home décor, housewares, clothing, artwork and accessories.⁣
⁣
Her favourite local vintage shop?⁣
“Hand in Hand on Herring Cove Road. It is a community thrift shop that has a great mix of clothing and home décor pieces at fair prices. They even have a curated vintage section!”⁣
⁣
What she loves about selling vintage:⁣
“Finding pieces that you know your customers are going to go crazy for. You know the feeling you get when someone opens a gift you picked out for them? That’s the feeling I get when I source. I try to connect the pieces I bring into the shop with the styles of my customers. So when I find something I know they are going to love, it makes me very happy to be able to source it for them!”⁣
⁣
She’s always on the hunt for:⁣
What are you always on the hunt for? ⁣
“Brass, solid wood, pastel colours, rattan, and bamboo. My favourite vintage clothing brands to thrift are Braemar, Levi’s, and Tommy Hilfiger.”⁣
⁣
Her favourite find of all time:⁣
“When I first started, I saw this 1980s swivel coffee table on a page in Toronto () and fell in love. A few months later, I found an identical one at . The worker still had it in his arms on his way to put it on the floor when I spotted it. I styled it in my apartment for a long time before parting with it.”⁣

✨ A N T I Q U E N D : Great Village & Truro, NS ✨ With tourism season looking non-existent this year, we’re excited to explore our own province and support local businesses along the way. This weekend, we adventured to Great Village & Truro - home to our faaaavourite local shop, plus a new one we’ve finally checked off our list. 💙 ⁣
⁣
First of all, go prepared - in the Nova Scotia summers, air conditioning is not a thing and the shop’s top floors can get HOT. Bring a fan & water!⁣
⁣
☕️ Wayside Café • Right across the street from Great Village Antiques, your stop for coffee and treats (post-July 1st, when they officially open!)⁣
⁣
🛍 • Home to over 30 vintage vendors, there are TONS of treasures to discover across several rooms + even more upstairs. Great prices, and plenty of variety!⁣
⁣
🛍 Right beside Great Village Antiques is an unnamed shop that’s home to more vintage sellers, with both floors full of furniture, advertising, and so much more. The upstairs has some super cool oddities!⁣
⁣
🛍 Across the street, you’ll find the Onslow Trading Co. shop - it’s jam-packed with more vintage stuff both inside and outside. Careful on those stairs to the attic - the upstairs requires a dedicated hunter who’s not turned off by dust and piles!⁣
⁣
🍽 By now you’ll probably be hangry, and unless you want your lunch to be a freezie from the Esso down the street, hit the road and head for Truro. Stop into and do 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 sleep on that Caprese Burger. ⁣
⁣
🍻 Right beside Nook & Cranny is where you can enjoy a pint on the patio!⁣
⁣
🛍 Now that you’re re-energized, head to Reclaimed Cottage (280 Prince St) where you’ll find aisles of furniture, mirrors, frames and more! @ Truro, Nova Scotia
