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 Chelle and Robert who operate their own auction house and three amazing online shops Chelle’s Jewels, Chelle’s Treasure and Wagner’s Treasures:
Our passion is treasure hunting and the jobs we have created for ourselves reflect that. We own RCW Auctions Inc in Kernersville NC. As auctioneers we are constantly in the world of auctions and we love to pick up great items and we often buy entire estates. We both have certain items we are passionate about and those things stay in our personal collections; for Chelle it is collectible glass shoes and victorian boot vases, hand vases with the delicate painted fingernails, and head vases. For Robert it is old bottles the more detailed and intricate the better. We have two antique booths in The Antique Marketplace in Greensboro and three Etsy stores………still we are overflowing with more treasures than we have time to sell. We are so excited to be vendors at Vintage Charlotte, it gives us a chance to let go of some of our finds at amazing prices!
Robert is bringing a huge collection of Mantiques such as tools, weathervanes, copper buckets, old tools, and a coke cooler. We both love advertising pieces so we will have quite of few of those. I [Chelle] am bringing lots of retro kitchen items. The 1950s – 1970s is a favorite era of mine. I love the shiny chrome, the cute aprons, the colorful canisters.
We will also have some great vintage luggage, books, paper ephemera and mixed media art supply.
Be sure to check out The Summer Market on June 23rd at The Annex, Tammie from Nest will have this beautiful assortment of vintage lace headbands available for purchase:
Gentlemen! Don’t worry, there will be plenty of mantiques on hand for you to check out! Here’s a sneak preview of what Robert from Wagner’s Treasures will be bringing to The Summer Market on June 23rd!
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!

Upon landing in Charlotte after a six month relocation expedition, Amy (schmoo1515 vintage) and Kurtis (hesslerk electronics) saw a real need for a contemporary vintage shopping experience. It sounds a bit like a contradiction (contemporary-vintage) but this flea market meets hipster meets the design eyed is an amazing and fun shopping experience.
Over the next year we hope to bring pop-up shops and flea markets to the Charlotte area for each season. If you are interested in shopping, vending, sponsoring or otherwise getting involved, check back here often for details!
