Mid Century items in strong colors are working for me right now. Strangely, also wooden decorative items from any era. My prediction is that in a recession people will open their eyes more to the possibilities of vintage. At least I certainly hope so :-) It’s great to see someone like Mitzi confirming some of the trends I have been seeing (and I would encourage everyone to check out her blogs and sites).

I am always struggling with "Should I buy it or not", for my Etsy shop. Just yesterday I passed up some Ceramic Swans in great condition. Wouldn't you know came home looked at Vintage Category and someone had listed and sold the exact one at a very good price. It is good to know what is selling overall so I can narrow my focus!

Mad 4 Mod and The Boomerang Room (formerly 3 Sisters) are within storefronts of each other on North High Street. They always have a great selection! Mad 4 Mod has scads and scads of vintage clothes and I can never walk out of the place without having bought some vintage jewelry! Jason has recently added a basement area to Mad 4 Mod. Mad 4 Mod also has a basement area in Eclectiques, which is across North High from The Boomerang Room. Eclectiques is an antique mall where you might find just about anything. We found a cool Turner Wall accessory clock the last time we were there. Farther up on high street, there's Grandview Mercantile and ReVue (two shops in one building). Grandview is an antique mall set up and ReVue is a consignment shop in the same building. We've found stuff there, including a cool credenza. Joe Valenti of Cleveland's Flower Child shop recently opened a Flower Child shop in Columbus, Ohio and it's always a treat to shop there. Joe always has a great selection of furniture and I love to visit his shop when he has it decorated for Christmas! The Cleveland shop, which we've only been to once, is great as well. We bought our boomerang coffee and end tables from him about this time last year! Heritage Square Antique Mall (on the east side of Columbus) also has some great finds!
