a very busy little day in the life ✨
today started bright and early vending at the Del Ray Vintage & Flea and let me just say… it was WILD in the best way. nonstop crowds, running on caffeine and vibes, answering all the questions, hanging with our friends, seeing you all hauling candles around, trying to keep displays together in the wind, and somehow still finding little magical treasures between it all.
then straight back to the shop for more candle magic, restocks, customers, readings, and the usual beautiful chaos that comes with building a magical small business.
somewhere between the vintage finds, exhaustion, laughter, smoke cleansing the booth, and realizing we forgot to eat lunch until way too late, I had one of those moments where I thought: wow… this is really the life we dreamed about. chaotic? absolutely. exhausting? yes. magical? always. 🖤
thank you for supporting us at the flea, at the shop, online, and in all the tiny ways in between. every single order, share, visit, and conversation helps keep this little dream alive.
Everything under $20 with hundreds of items just $1?? I can’t believe we’re doing this.
Part of #TripleSaleSaturday includes our soon-to-be-infamous garage sale. We’re busy packing it to the brim so you can have fun digging and discovering all Saturday long.
Here’s what else to expect: 🦚 Discounted items throughout the store
🦩 $1, $5, $10, and $20 tables in the garage
🦢 A special jewelry pop up from @chicfreaksvintage — expect flea market prices and good times
🐦🔥 160+ sales at 90 addresses throughout the neighborhood as part of AdMo’s Mother of All Yard Sales ❤️🔥 those sales start at 9 or earlier, so do a lap before you line up at GGV!
The fun starts at Garlic Girl at 10 am sharp and will go all day or until we run out of vintage.
