Field Trip-Flower Child Vintage

8/19/2010

 
Picture
While on my Midwest road trip, I got to visit a great vintage shop in Cleveland called Flower Child.  I kept going from one great find to another exclaiming over the great deals.  Perhaps my jaded New York City self is too use to the inflated prices because I found myself wishing I'd rented a Uhaul instead of a sedan.  The fabulous Lucite dining set featured here?  $600.  And that wasn't even the best deal!

Picture
There was an amazing mirrored Hollywood Regency console for $400 and beautiful glass pieces like the ones pictured here starting under $20.  I wound up buying a groovy cocktail set with 6 glasses, a small ice bucket and a chrome carrier for it all for only $28.  And since it's from the late 60's yes, "groovy" is a totally appropriate adjective.  Now that's my idea of a great travel souvenir!  If you live nearby or are planning to visit, Flower Child is a must-see!
