SOSN Vendor Spotlight: Maliasmark

Posted by | vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our next pop-up event will be Something Old, Something New, a local, handmade and vintage wedding experience, which will take place on February 23, 2015 at Sugar Creek Brewing from 6-8pm. Tickets can be purchased here!

We are so excited to welcome Maliasmark to Something Old, Something New!   Maliasmark will have a selection of vintage and antique items to wear, use as props and decor and even to use for DIY projects.  Here is Malia with a little introduction to Maliasmark:

I love junk stores and I was always combing little places on the back roads of South Carolina for my latest decorating finds on the weekends. People always say that they would have never thought to buy that or they wouldn’t know what to do with it. And what can I say, some of the things I like can be downright odd. But I found out there are tons of people like me, that like these things too. So I thought I would share some of these items here! The more I find and use these items, the less tolerance I have for anything new. There is so much already out there just waiting to be discovered, cleaned up, and loved!

EASY VINTAGE GIFT GIVING IDEAS FROM MOD BETTIE

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Mod Bettie aka Donna Scott has got to be one of the most thoughtful and creative vendors when it comes to merchandising.  Here she is sharing her top gift giving tips and tricks for how to delight anyone’s Holidays with a little bit of vintage:

It’s time to start thinking about vintage gift giving and as usual, you have a long list, right? Let me pass along my top quick and easy and memorable vintage gifting ideas so you can check some of those names off your list- pronto!

1.Vintage Trays and Tins

Everyone loves to receive your baked goods around the holidays…why not gift them in or on a reusable vintage tin or tray? It makes a beautiful and more memorable presentation than tissue or bags and can be used continually throughout the holidays!

2. Vintage Ornaments 

Of course I love these for their traditional use on the tree but they make such a heartwarming presentation when attached to gifts, used at table place settings/ or centerpieces, around the buffet table or even given as party favors throughout the holidays.

Ornaments can be used to decorate gifts and add a vintage touch.

3.Vintage Mugs

These make an adorable presentation when gifted with tea, hot cocoa, candy or vintage linens. Vintage soup mugs can be gifted with gourmet crackers or bags of soup mix.

Dried soup with a vintage mug and vintage napkins makes a great gift!

4. Vintage Cocktail Glasses

Want to bring the best hostess gift at your next party? Vintage Champagne coupes with a bottle of bubbly will do the trick, every time…trust me! See also: vintage pilsners or mugs with a local craft beer, or some swanky lowballs with a favorite liquor- both an equally fab option.

So give the gift of fond nostalgia and give vintage for the holidays! Check out the Mod Bettie booth at the Vintage Charlotte Winter Market on November 15 from 11-6 at The Fillmore at the NC Music Factory for these and other great vintage gifting ideas.

 

Vendor Collaboration Makes Us Smile!

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Many of you have probably already seen our event poster for The Winter Market, if not, see below!  It is so awesome and we love it so much.  This poster is the direct result of collaboration between a couple of very talented ladies (and also VENDORS!)

vintage charlotte winter market

 

We thought it would be fun to show you a behind the scenes of how this poster was made!  First, the ever talented Brellyn from Vintage Concord designed the poster digitally.  Then, Kristen of Havok Designs laser cut the design out of paper. Next, Brellyn and Vintage Charlotte’s very own Amy styled and photographed the laser cut paper.  Last but not least, Brellyn brought it full circle and rounded it out with some digital post production.  The end result is a beautiful and oh so unique poster that just screams Vintage Charlotte!

vintage charlotte winter Because these ladies are so talented (and did we mention VENDORS at the Winter Market!?!?)  We wanted to take a minute and show you a sneak peak of what they will be bringing with them to market.

Let’s start with Vintage Concord!  Vintage Concord has been vending with us for a while now and they never disappoint!  This year, Brellyn will be bringing her beautifully curated selection of vintage finds, her ever popular letter-pressed paper goods and a little birdie told us she’s been busy creating one of a kind notebooks from vintage ephemera.  But really just check out these photos because #swoon.

This is going to be Kristen from Havok Design‘s very first Vintage Charlotte market and we just cannot wait to see all of her laser cut lovelies in person.  Check out these samples of her amazing work, many of these items are brand spanking new and your first chance to buy them is at the Winter Market:

WINTER MARKET VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Eagle + Arrow & Good Grief Vintage

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our vendor spotlights are a great way to get to know some of our vendors before our Winter Market on November 15th at The Fillmore Charlotte. We are excited to welcome a collaboration booth featuring Eagle + Arrow and Good Grief Vintage to this season’s market.  Read on to hear from Abi and Misha about their businesses and what they are bringing with them to the market:

Screen Shot 2014-11-03 at 12.01.39 PMAbi: Eagle and Arrow is a collection of bags made from responsibly resourced leather.  I love the look, feel and longevity of leather but I think it’s important not to support factory farming. Because of this model, no bag will ever be the same. Most of the leather I get is just small pieces, so once I have a color I probably won’t have it again.I’m going to have some little bags for kids to keep tiny treasures in. Also, after many request I’m going to make fanny packs!! I’ve been sewing since I was 10, it’s my art. I never use patterns, and always try to let the material speak for itself.Screen Shot 2014-11-03 at 11.25.43 AM Screen Shot 2014-11-03 at 11.24.59 AM Screen Shot 2014-11-03 at 11.25.27 AM
Misha: Good Grief Vintage is a globally infused, Woodstock-inspired, 90s-loving, modernly styled online and pop-up vintage clothes and accessory shop.
Abi: Misha and I are also going to do a collection of updated vintage clothes!
