Unconventional Sources

Vintage is everywhere if you know where to look!

When it comes to finding vintage and secondhand pieces, we all know the obvious sources. Like most other vintage aficionados, I definitely spend my fair share of time scrolling eBay, perusing thrift stores, and digging through estate sales. But being a professional vintage dealer means I also need to get creative. I’m almost always in “sourcing mode,” constantly thinking about where I might be able to find a hidden vintage gem. I’ll be sharing some of my unconventional sources here, including the thought process behind how I found them, and why they work. The common thread is always conversation. Talk to people, ask questions, be nice. You never know what you’ll find.
