See you Saturday, July 20th

Thanks for your support!!!

We didn't really know for sure until 7am Saturday morning that we were on for the Vintage with Flair sale in Priddis. It warmed our hearts to see eager shoppers lined up at the ropes before opening!! You are wonderful for coming to support all of the small, local businesses who work so hard at their craft. 

We also appreciated all the people asking if our shop would be okay during the flood situation and we are happy to report, that while we have not been there physically, we have heard that everything is dry, quiet and safe in the Beltline and our vintage corner of town! We hope to be back in business as soon as our power is restored and street reopening, possibly by June 26th??

We met so many new people and of course, were thrilled to see some of our diehard customers who never miss an event...you are truly vintage rockstars!!

Thanks again, you don't know how much your support means to us!! We are blessed to be able to connect with so many wonderful humans by doing what we love. ♥

Take a Vintage Vacation at Vintage with Flair!!

It's that time of year again for our favorite country sale...Vintage with Flair! This annual vintage show features over 25 hand picked vendors from Southern Alberta whose specialties are vintage and repurposed goods and is a shoppers dream. From amazing jewellery to furniture to kitschy collectibles, we love to both shop & sell at this one!!

Priddis is a short and scenic 20 minute drive from the city limits, just off Hwy 22X. The venue is the community hall, but just look for the big white carnival tent and you'll know you have arrived!! A Vintage Affair will be inside the main hall with our good friend Colleen from Blush Vintage Rentals right as our neighbor (all cozy and dry...but we know the sun is coming soon!) We are bringing lots of goodies in especially for this show, so they have not been in the shop yet! FYI - we will accept cash, Mastercard and Visa but no debit.

Here's the skinny...

Vintage with Flair

Friday, June 21 from 4pm to 8pm

How to hold a vintage wedding on BTV!

Yesterday was a fun day for all of us as we had the privilege to appear on Breakfast Television to promote our upcoming Vintage Wedding Showcase.

Rachelle and Shannon looked absolutely splendid in their authentic 1950s wedding gowns, complete with headpieces from BoutiqueJuJu and amazing bouquets from Sarah Mayerson Design.

Sarah also worked in collaboration with Colleen Walker of Blush Vintage Rentals to make this romantic Jane Austen inspired tabletop using wonderful vintage elements from milk and depression glass to a vintage camera. They also incorporated a darling vintage inspired engagement photo by Tara Whittaker Photography.

If you miss our segment, you can watch it here!

You can expect this and much more at the event on April 21st!! Tickets are $12 and available through Eventbrite, at A Vintage Affair or at the door!! See you then!!

The countdown begins toward The Vintage Wedding Showcase!!

So much is happening so quickly in preparation for April 21st for The Vintage Wedding Showcase!

Tomorrow is our appearance on Breakfast Television at 7:45am and Bonnie will talk about how to have a vintage themed wedding. We'll be showing two lovely authentic 1950s wedding dresses and Blush Vintage Rentals have designed an outstanding tabletop using a variety of Jane Austen inspired vintage elements. If you miss it, catch the video online on BTV's website. 

What are we looking forward to most at the show??? Well, let me tell you there is so much inspiration going on it is hard to choose. One new addition to our show is a gorgeous 1950's Chevy Deluxe on display outside which will make for a fabulous photo opportunity! Also, we are pleased to welcome a mini version of Lemondrop, a Calgary jazz group with songstress Heather Blush, who will perform alongside our 1920s styled Speakeasy Lounge by Blush Vintage Rentals. Just wondering, is it legal to bring that moonshine still and make some hooch at the event ;)

Tickets are $12 available through A Vintage Affair, at the door or through Eventbrite. We hope you'll spread the word about this unique event filled with everything "Vintage, Bridal & Fabulous!" See you there!
