Happy Birthday to Us!

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

Two years ago, VTGCLT was just an idea.  We sprung into action and put all of our energy into creating a small vintage market, which we never knew would be the start of something so amazing!  Our first Summer Market was a huge success with over 800 shoppers visiting just 16 vendors in a tiny little venue, but the idea had been sparked and the community had been created.

We immediately knew that we needed to get bigger and better! We welcomed handmade vendors into our little community of finders, creators and makers.  We were just stunned by the amazing support we received and by all of our vendors who had now become like our extended VTGCLT family. Our first Holiday Market was held at The Fillmore and was 4 times the size of our first event.

Now two years later, we have held six events, including two bridal events and launched our vintage rentals company.   Every event feels like a big Thanksgiving dinner where we get to see all of our favorite (albeit sometimes eccentric) family, friends and community come together to celebrate each other in a local, sustainable marketplace.  We certainly couldn’t have done any of this without the support of our vendors, friends, shoppers and, if you are reading this, YOU!

VTGCLT has been working so hard, we thought she deserved a little makeover for her 2nd birthday! We hope you like our new look and we hope to see you all soon at our Summer Market!
