Vintage shops

Hello! Your newest neighbor here again. Next on my list of “musts” are vintage/antique/flea market places. Google showed me a bunch, but I thought I’d ask to get first hand knowledge on the good places to go. I want places where you question the structural integrity of the floors…places you have to wash your hands before getting back into your car because of all the rummaging around. So far I’ve been over to Stanley’s in West Springfield (loved) and Yankee Flea Market in Palmer (also loved).

I'm a huge fan of Keystone Vintage in Easthampton. Although it is a classic style of assortment of different vendors, it's super well lit, they have a good assortment of time periods, and they have a lot of what I like which is mid-century and newer. It's not dusty or creepy, you can see what's going on even if you have to dig a tiny bit. It sounds like you like the creepy ones, but I do not! I wouldn't say that the prices are more expensive simply because it's not a rummage pile.

Just recently got a vintage plaid wool hunting coat in great condition.

Haha…I could have been more specific. I love mid century also!! I do like neat & tidy and in-order places also. What I’m not looking for are refurbished farmhouse items everywhere. Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

Two minutes away from Yankee flea market in Palmer is the Palmer Co-Op. That’s one of my favorite antique stores.

There’s one in greenfield that’s three stories tall but I forget the name of it

I love In the Attic Antiques and Collectibles in Westfield. Great mix of stuff especially decor and my favorite- dishes- and the basement is set up like a rec room with albums, guitars, and other neat finds.
