I visited this little HUGE gem for the first time almost a year ago, and have been wanting to go back ever since! When I finally got back there a few weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had expanded, and have many more booths and vendors! Woo Hoo! Thrift Shop LOVE!
A few of the goodies I found:
 |
| Great for collage walls - mix with black and white framed photos and other found objects |
Some ideas for these windows:
Cut mats to the size of the panes and adhere onto the back using removable spray adhesive. Use all black and white or sepia toned prints for a more uniform look.
 |
| Complete Organizing Solutions |
You could do this with scrapbook paper and the spray adhesive or modge podge. Also, try doing an image search for vintage postcards - print on a laser printer if you're going to modge podge, otherwise an ink jet will work just fine with spray adhesive!
 |
| Antique window with French Postcards - found on Etsy |
Pair with more rustic pieces on a buffet for great juxtaposition.
 |
| Gotta love the candelabra - a little ornate bling is great on any table! |
 |
| $5 each - not sure if they worked, but great deal! Similar ones are going for $25+ on ebay, without shipping! |
 |
| $19 for the pair - not bad when you compare to those from Ballard Designs below |

| Ballad Designs Covered Demijohn |
Now, for what I brought home with me!!! I just couldn't live without this glass jar...
You know at some point I'll be wrapping it in rope so it looks like the ones from Ballard above!
And, I found these great old bobbins for $2 each! I was so excited!
Columbus used to be the home of Swift Mills, so there are lots and lots of vintage industrial sewing goodies to be found in shops around here.

LOVE what you found!!!! I might have to make a trip over there this weekend - this looks like a great store!
Another awesome looking store...thanks for sharing..I will have to check it out. Is it still there??
Rachel,
Yes it is and it has expanded recently! I was just there this week and they have opened up even more square footage for vendors. It is crazy big! Make sure you have a few hours to spend when you go!
Thanks for the heads up...I don't know if I will ever have a few hours to spend with out kids doing that..but it's worth a try! ;)
