We hope you're ready to join us next weekend for the fabulous experience of hunting for wonderful vintage treasures. The dates are March 4 & 5. Hours on Saturday are 9 to 6 and Sunday from 10 to 4 and the show is at the Portland Expo Center. We are especially full for this one, with many dealers coming from California and Texas, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Nebraska plus Karl Nelson, who comes from Sweden and brings some of the best Steiff and early tin wind-up toys.
The original vintage show in Portland celebrates its 36th year with more than 900 booths all indoors. Everything in the show is pre-1975 and includes fun, nostalgic, vintage items to amazing estate jewelry and all the ingredients for decorating with vintage. Our dealers come to sell and love to haggle.
And of course, for the Spring show, you'll see lots of good vintage garden items.
