Is This Goodbye? One Last Look Before We Go

We're cleared for takeoff—and things are about to get busy in all the best ways. After months of recovery, it's finally time to return to our faraway show venues and long-neglected mall spaces. But before we hit the road, we need to thoughtfully prepare the spaces we're leaving behind. How do we make maximalist displays shoppable so our collectors here are not left empty-handed? Do we have enough of the right items to satisfy them while also reconnecting with our Kentucky mall shoppers and Florida show attendees? And how will we fit everything else into our van? In this video, we walk you through how we style, stock, and balance our spaces—northwest to southeast—while making room for surprises and standout finds. From shipping off eBay orders to loading the van with vintage fashion, jewelry, and holiday-ready décor, we share exactly how we plan and pack for both sides of the country. We visit Seattle’s Lander Street Vintage Mall and Snohomish’s Star Center, uncovering everything from Hollywood Regency gold and Blenko glass to bold MCM furniture and a psychedelic print we use as a focal display point. You’ll see how we create fresh displays with train sets, Capodimonte porcelain, Western decor, Limoges, and a Jere signed metal decor—and how we make those spaces feel exciting even after the holidays. Then we take a quick side trip into the basement of Star Center Mall to see the store's latest addtion, a booth filled with MCM furniture and decor at amazing prices! There’s also a peek into our Centralia booth, where sales are strong and restocking means finding the right mix: Roseville pottery, woodsy vintage lodge décor, elegant Nippon porcelain, railroadiana, and a window full of colorful glass that stops people in their tracks. We talk strategy too—how we price, how to let one picture inspire your decor, how to easily convert a Christmas display to Valentine's decor, and how to group items to tell a story someone wants to express in their home. If you love the thrill of the hunt, creative merchandising, and the art of balancing beauty with business, this one’s for you. 👉 Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more antique & vintage adventures across the country! ———————————————————— ☀️ Do you want more info about an item you own?
