Holiday Market Vendor Spotlight – Charchaic Vintage

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments
Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Hoilday Market on December 8, 2012 at The Fillmore Charlotte.  Please welcome Cory from Charchaic Vintage:

Charlotte native and returning Vintage Charlotte vendor, Cory Lendon, is looking to breathe new life into old clothes with his newest venture, Charchaic Vintage. Whether it’s pearl button cowboy shirts, or striped skater socks, Charchaic Vintage caters to both men and women with a penchant for late 70’s through early 90’s styles at affordable prices.

“I’m an 80’s kid, and things in that era were so much simpler and more innocent. We’ll never get those days back, but thankfully the fashion is still relevant, and has been for a while now. There are kids in this generation that appreciate the music and culture of that time period, and want to emulate it, which is so rad to see. It’s all respect. I’m proud to be a part of the local vintage movement, man.”

You can check out Charchaic Vintage on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CharchaicVintage, and be sure to stay up to date on all his newest finds via Twitter at https://twitter.com/CharchaicVtg

Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Eclectic Orchid

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments
Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market on June 23rd at The Annex.  Please welcome Marcy from Eclectic Orchid:

I will be bringing some of my Memory Collector necklaces with me. They are a combination of salvaged buttons, repurposed chandelier crystals, vintage lockets, and an assortment of new pretties as well. Here is the story behind them:

Lindsay Wynne Photography

And as the years passed, she began to gather her collection of bits and baubles, trinkets of days gone by, reminders of what once was. As she positioned each one on the chain, she was flooded with memories, of happiness, of life, of love. Each piece had a story to tell, its history known only to her. And so, she would continue to collect her memories, sharing them with others to give them new meanings, new purposes, new tales to be told by those who came to cherish them…

Introducing my new Memory Collector necklaces! Each one is unique, with its very own story to tell. Collections of vintage beauties combine to make a unique and interesting work of wearable art! Each one is completely unique, one of a kind!

Summer Market Vendor Spotlight – Cosmic Ephemera

Posted by | vendor spotlight | No Comments
Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market on June 23rd at The Annex.  Please welcome our first vendor to be featured in the spotlight, Brooke from Cosmic Ephemera:

Hi there! I’m Brooke, proprietor of Cosmic Ephemera and blogger at My Indie Charlotte. I love absurd things like little doll limbs and old photographs of dudes making weird faces. I don’t know why.

My shop Cosmic Ephemera is a much more toned down, aesthetically-pleasing version of what goes on in my head. I’m a collage artist by sport, and I’ve always loved incorporating little bits of vintage ephemera into my wall art and journals. When this ephemera collection of mine starting getting out of control, I knew it was time to open up shop and share my findings with others.

So now I sell vintage scrap kits. These kits are packed with about 20-40 themed pieces. Some of the sets you’ll see at the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market include fashion clippings from 1920s magazines, groovy children’s book illustrations, and lots of old school folks from old school books doing old school things. I also have a handful of delightful vintage books that are pretty hard for me to part with. Look out for a cool 1970s French craft book, and surreal astrology paperbacks that give some hardcore advice.

My aim with Cosmic Ephemera is to give buyers the inspiration to create something fabulous and unique out of one little bit of vintage. Or to just aid in your paper hoarding, so I won’t be the only one.

Oh, and you should know: Cosmic Ephemera is undergoing a little renovation, so most of the items you see here–plus plenty more–will only be available starting June 23 at the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market! I’m excited to see you there!
