Have you ever wondered what an antiques dealer takes to their booth? Today's post will show What I Took to My Vintage and Antique Booths for the month of February.
As I said last month, I have been a antiques and vintage vendor for about 2.5 years in 3 booths in 2 different antique malls. I have been a vintage and antiques collector for years and years so it has been natural for me to collect a little bit more and flip items for my booths.
Vintage and Antiques I took to my booth in February
Items that did well in February:
- brass
- cookie cutters
- silver plate items
- faux plants
- small animal figurines
- small hearts made from vintage linens
- salt and pepper shakers
- milk glass vases
- Bible quotes
- mushroom prints
- green/flower/fresh spring items
I found this metal vase holder thingy many months ago and waited for just the right time to take it in. This booth drop was perfect. I added a bunch of real touch tulips. This piece was very unusual and sold the day I took it in.
I framed a bunch of art prints and Bible quotes (resource link coming soon) in vintage and found frames. I also added a ton of faux plants that look pretty real and don't require water!
I also added a bunch of small ceramic animal figurines. I love having these tucked in nooks and crannies in my booth.
Since March is coming up that means St Patrick's Day. So I added plenty of green to my booth including this little faux bucket of festive goodness.
I am having a mushroom moment and cannot get enough of them. I have all sorts of framed printables.
And I made a bunch of these little mushroom stuffies from repurposed linens. A tutorial will be coming soon!
In my antique booth at Hylabrook Antique Mall I added a clothing rack with a bunch of shirts.
I have been collecting band tshirts and other tops for a while so I decided to branch out and offer them at my booth.
I also plan to add a bunch of refashioned clothing. I started by making a bunch of shirts with hearts made from an old quilt. This is only the beginning with my She's Crafty Clothing and Accessories!

Over all, being an antiques dealer is almost a full time job because of the time it takes to hunt, clean, paint, wash and care for all of my pieces. But I love it so much so it really doesn't feel like a job! Thank you for checking out my February Finds: Handcrafted & Curated Treasures for My Antique Booth.
