Vintage Find

With vintage, what's old is new again. Vintage jewelry has become something of its own trend and fashion statement. Celebs have long boasted of one-of-a-kind vintage pieces on the red carpet and now that posh, glamorous style is popping up all over the Twin Cities.

Some of the best vintage shops have been offering these classic looks for years--celebrating decades of retro styling and alluring outfits.

While it seems each store has its own unique twist or specialty, I've listed a store that's worth checking out for clothing, furniture, and jewelry.

Hunt and Gather is located at 4944 Xerxes Ave South in Minneapolis. This is "a unique antique style shop that offers 25 stylized booths jam-packed with only the good stuff. No reproductions or stale junk. We will work hard to fill to overflowing with eclectic, unusual antique merchandise."

As my girlfriends and I were walking around I was immediately stopped by the sparkling jewelry. Truly one-of-a-kind pieces....beautiful! My Great Grandma passed away in 2008 and I was given some of her very old costume jewelry. My favorite pieces were a pair of earrings and matching necklace that I later found out to be my Great-great-great-great Grandma's  jewelry. While looking at the antique pieces at Hunt and Gather I found a bracelet that is an exact match to my favorite pieces I had inherited!

Love how it sparkles in the light

Prior to this weekend I had never been in an antique store....give it a try! You never know what you may find!
