Added a few pairs of shoes to the shop, including two pairs of white square dance shoes that belonged to a friend’s mother.  They’re simply adorable and waiting for a new dance partner!  We also added these sexy maribou slippers – ooh la la!  Our space at E.N. Miller Antique Mall in Verona is fully stocked and ready for the weekend – don’t miss out, because the great housewares we’ve got over there won’t last long.  We’re heading upstate to do some picking this weekend and we’ll be sure to share any goodies we pick up over @100percentpolyverse on Instagram.  TGIF – have a great weekend!

March Madness!

It’s about time we checked in – we’ve been enjoying taking it easy for the past few weeks.  Pittsburgh has been snowy and bitterly cold this winter.  We’ve been hibernating with our kitties and doing a little work around the house – who knew that a new bathroom floor could be so exciting?!?  We keep pretty active on our Instagram feed, so you can always find us over there.  Even though we’re been taking a little break, we’ve still been stocking up on some great treasures that we are really excited about bringing to you this spring!  We are tweaking the way we take pictures for our Etsy shop, so you can look forward to some better images of upcoming clothing.  We have a LOT of amazing clothing to photograph – I’ve spent the winter doing laundry and repairs to make sure these items are ready for spring and summer!  Oh, summer – we can’t wait.

Heywood Wakefield table and chairs, still available!

You can anticipate some amazing swimwear, summer dresses, men’s shirts, and as always a selection of Hawaiian inspired party wear for everyone!  We also have a collection of 1930s, 40s, and 50s formal dresses in larger sizes with exquisite details ready to go!  We made a special SALE section in our Etsy shop to make room for some of these additions – take a look, make us an offer, and help us make space for new goodies!  Thinking of making a purchase?  Convo us for a discount code on anything in the shop!

In the meantime, we’re ready for shows and flea market season – we’ve got amazing lamps, clocks, luggage, globes, kitchen items, chalkware wall hangings, and other midcentury pieces all packed up and ready to go – not to mention our jewelry collection which includes novelty brooches, bakelite earrings, and more.  Our traveling stock is going to be so good this season – we’ll be sure to post details about upcoming appearances once the season gets closer.

Miller has over 100 dealers on four floors, so if you’re in the area, what are you waiting for?

We had a fabulous time at this past weekend’s Pittsburgh Vintage Mixer!  It was awesome seeing some folks we knew as well as meeting new people – everyone was friendly, fashionable, and fanatically devoted to buying and selling vintage and retro wares.  We really enjoyed it, and can’t thank everyone enough!  This includes the organizers of the event, our fellow dealers, and everyone who didn’t let the freezing rain stop them and came out to shop!

We’ll be out again next Saturday at the Second Shift Crafters Holiday Event, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm at 3501 Liberty Avenue in Lawrenceville – hope to see you there if you couldn’t make it to the Mixer.  We love this city and the people who live in it – come support your local crafters and dealers this Small Business Saturday!

See You Next Weekend!

Let’s Go To the Mall – the Antique Mall!

The weather is changing, and we set the clocks back last night.  Flea market and summer sale season is over!  We decided to move our stock inside for the fall and winter, and so we’ve set up house over at E.N. Miller Antique Mall in our hometown of Verona, PA.  We’re up on the third floor right next to some friendly neighbors, so we think you should come on down to the mall and start that holiday shopping!  We’ve got lots of mod housewares, some lovely midcentury furniture, and a fabulous assortment of pottery and planters by names like Royal Haeger, McCoy, and California Originals.  We’ve also got a few pieces by local artists, barware, wall hangings… do we need to say something for everyone?  And down at E.N. Miller, with over 50 dealers on four floors, you’re sure to find something you like.  E.N. Miller Antique Mall is only 20 minutes from the city, along the Allegheny River.  Follow Butler Street out of the city until it becomes Allegheny River Boulevard and take it into Verona – make a left at the Get-Go, left on E. Railroad Avenue, and you’re there.  You don’t even need to go over a bridge!  615 E. Railroad Ave., Verona, PA 15147, Tues – Sat 10:30 – 5:00, Sunday 12:00 – 5:00.  Closed Mondays.

We’re so excited to have a space at such a great antique mall.  We hope you’ll come see us on the 3rd floor this season – and don’t forget our upcoming shows on November 22 and November 29, both in Lawrenceville!

See you in space 122!

See you in space 122!

We had a great time last weekend at the Flea-tique.  It was a beautiful day, we met some nice people, and we sold (and bought!) some fabulous stuff.  But without a doubt, the best part of the day was winning the monthly raffle for our space for all of next year!  We will be the proud vendors of space 122 for the entire 2015 Flea-tique season.  We would like to thank the Allegheny-Kiski Valley Historical Society – we’re so excited!  Thanks so much for the opportunity – we love you guys and the work you do.  See you next year!
