Vintage Treasures Abound on the Kitsap Peninsula
If vintage shopping is like a treasure hunt, then X marks the spot on the Kitsap Peninsula.
Samantha Smith, owner of Josephine's Redeemed Revival Boutique in Port Orchard said the Kitsap Peninsula region offers a treasure trove of vintage and antiques at small-town prices. "It's worth a trip to come over here
 for a great quality product at a great price."
Shop more than 60 vendors at one location on March 4-5 at Josephine's Redeemed Revival Spring Vintage Market at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds. Smith has chosen each participant based on both products and display. "Each booth will be like its own shopfront." As a bonus, best-selling author and home decorating blogger Melissa Michaels will be on hand to sign her latest book. For information, tickets and lodging specials, visit our
website. To get inspired and find a list of Kitsap vintage stores,
