There’s a local company called 21c Promotions that puts on antique fairs/flea markets and retro design events once a month at rotating locations. Last month’s event was an antique fair at the Croatian Cultural Centre on Commercial Drive.

The Vancouver Flea MarketPosted by: ryan @ 12:08 am in events, thrifting |
It was rainy last week, so Naomi and I decided to visit The Vancouver Flea Market. It’s located indoors, open all year round and costs $0.75 to get in.

Vintage 1960s Adjust-O-Matic dress formPosted by: naomi @ 12:16 am in travel, vintage finds |
We’re back from Oregon and it was a fantastic weekend of art, culture, coastlines and antiquing. I wasn’t having much luck with the vintage/antique stores until Ryan came across this amazing, in-perfect-condition adjustable dress form. It was sitting in the corner of an antique mall in Newport, Oregon a few minutes away from the aquarium (which is amazing, btw – everyone should visit). I have the original box and instructional manual, although the stand is missing. Total cost: $35.00.

Vancouver Flea Markets & Antique FairsPosted by: naomi @ 3:41 pm in events |
For those of you local to Vancouver, one of my favorite places to hunt for antiques and one-of-a-kind items is at the 21st Century Promotions Flea Market & Antique Fair. They have monthly events around the Lower Mainland and I always find tons of unique things for the house, stuff to fuel my pyrex obsession and prints to hang on my walls. It’s also great to be in a room full of knowledgeable people who have a passion for vintage items and other old things.
The last one just passed (July 19) so mark your calendars for August 29 and 30 for the Burnaby Lake Antiques Fair from 10am to 5pm. Entry is $6 at the door.
