I did it!!!!  I went to the Manhattan Vintage show!  It was a blast.  There were rows and rows of dealers and my brain went into overload–there were so many beautiful pieces to take in.  And to make matters more intense, there was a booth that was serving free whiskey to get us drunk so we won’t realize we just blew a fortune on “old” clothes!  Unfortunately there were no pictures allowed and I was too much of a sissy to sneak.  Although, it would have been nice to get my picture taken with Brooke Shields, Anna Sui, and Katie Holmes–the three famous people I saw while there.  It would have been a great “Fan Out” picture to send to Wendy Williams.  But you know, when you are in NY, you mustn’t dare act like a fan.  So me and my bestie oohed and ahhed over the stars secretly.  I will definitely try and go back, but if I can’t, that’s ok.  Many of the vendors there attend the Sturbridge Antique and Vintage Textile Show in the spring and summer.  So I will get my fill either way!

SO PUMPED UP ABOUT……Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show

One of my favorite times of the year is when the Vintage Fashion and Textile Show comes to Sturbridge, MA.  I first learned of this event a few years ago when I was visiting one of my favorite antique shops, Sturbridge Antique Shop.  The sales lady at the shop told me it was Vintage and Antique clothing HEAVEN!  And boy was she right!!!  There are over 100 dealers at this show and none of them disappoint.

This show comes to town three times a year.  The upcoming show, Sept. 5th will be the final date for this year.

Whether you are looking for fashions from the 80s all the way down to the 18th century its all there.  Here, you can find vintage clothing, hand bags and accessories from many top and luxury designers.  This show is so hot that the top design houses come to this show to get inspired.

Trust me, this one is MUST SEE!!!  But, if you plan on coming, bring cash.  Many of the dealers only except cash or check.

Oh yeah, if you have time or haven’t spent all your money at this show, you must check out Brimfield……
