I love living in Phoenix, we have so much good food and small businesses here that I really have a hard time deciding if or when we should move to Kauai, at least full time, because I know I'll miss so much here. One of our favorite activities to do as a family is thrift or treasure hunt. Husband always finds the manly section of the shop or vintage cookware, while I'm obsessed with furniture and home goods. Here's a few of our favorite shops in Town if you're interested in starting your Treasure Hunting Adventure!
1. Sweet Repeats Boutique - Found in a strip mall of other antique shops this one is where I got my giant china cabinet and they offer lots of adorable handmade items as well.
2. Melrose Vintage - Shabby Chic - This one is pretty feminie but has lots of good finds, that's the fun of exploring, each shop offers something different.
3. Brass Armadillo - This one is a giant building with so many shops and aisles you can easily get lost for hours. There's an extensive selection here.
4. Retro Ranch - I drive past this one everyday on my way to work and it's a fun stop along the Melrose District.
5. McAlpine's Soda Fountain and Antique Shop - The kids love this one because they get a fancy shake and then I go to the adjacent antique shop and look for vintage pyrex and they have a decent selection of clothes as well! They also have a huge selection of patio tables which I always want to buy 10 of.
We love Zinnias. Husband was the first to shop there and came home raving about how cool it was. Now I'm addicted and I go in there at least once a week just to check out their couch selection. What can I say I've got a thing for couches.
7. Modern Manor These Mid-century Modern treasures are
8. Sweet Salvage- adorable shop located on Cave Creek
9 .White Dove Thrift Shoppe - I haven't been here yet but it's on my list of places to go so I thought I should share it, if you're looking for somewhere new too!
10. Antique Gatherings - Same with this one, I drive past it but haven't been in, have you? Is it a fun place with lots of unique items.
Where have you found amazing treasures at in Phoenix? I'm always on the hunt for more unique gifts and historic items, sometimes I think about all the hands that have held an object and the moments they're been present for, so interesting to think of the lives objects live.
