How to Spot Authentic Vintage Items at Flea Markets - Best Shopping Experience

Flea markets are treasure troves for vintage enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and discovery. However, with the rise of reproductions and mass-produced "vintage-style" goods, spotting authentic vintage items can be challenging. As someone who has spent years collecting, selling, and admiring vintage treasures, I’m here to share insider tips, practical advice, and expert knowledge to help you identify genuine vintage pieces at flea markets.

Why Authenticity Matters

Authentic vintage items not only hold historical value but also promise better craftsmanship and uniqueness compared to their modern counterparts. Whether you’re shopping for personal enjoyment or investment purposes, learning to discern the real deal from reproductions ensures you get value for your money.

Research Before You Go

Preparation is key to a successful flea market trip. Here’s what you can do before heading out:

Study Vintage Eras

Understand the design trends, materials, and manufacturing techniques of different decades. For example:

1950s: Mid-century modern furniture, Bakelite jewelry, and atomic-age designs.

1970s: Bold patterns, earthy tones, and bohemian-inspired clothing.

Use Reference Tools

Invest in books or online guides about vintage items. Apps like Etsy Seller Handbook and eBay Vintage Identifier can also help you quickly identify and value items.

Make a Shopping List

Know what you’re looking for—whether it’s vintage clothing, furniture, or jewelry—and research hallmark characteristics of those items.

Key Characteristics of Authentic Vintage Goods

Spotting genuine vintage items often boils down to recognizing specific attributes. Here are some telltale signs:

Clothing

Fabric: Authentic vintage clothing often uses natural fabrics like cotton, wool, or silk.

Labels: Look for union labels, care labels, or brand tags that indicate production before the 1980s.

Stitching: Examine seams and hems; vintage pieces often have hand-stitched or single-needle construction.

Furniture

Materials: Solid wood construction is a hallmark of vintage furniture, whereas reproductions may use MDF or particleboard.

Joinery: Authentic pieces often feature dovetail joints, not nails or screws.

Patina: Genuine wear and tear, such as fading or scratches, adds character to vintage furniture.

Jewelry

Hallmarks: Check for stamps or engravings indicating the metal’s purity or designer’s name.

Weight: Authentic vintage jewelry is typically heavier due to solid materials.

Clasp Style: Older pieces often use box clasps or hook closures rather than modern spring clasps.

Common Signs of Fakes

Reproductions are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but these red flags can help you spot a fake:

Too Perfect: Vintage items rarely look brand new; they often have minor imperfections.

Mismatched Eras: Be wary of items that combine design elements from different decades.

Synthetic Smell: Reproduced items sometimes have a chemical smell from modern manufacturing processes.

Questions to Ask Sellers

Building rapport with sellers can provide valuable insights. Consider asking:

“Where did this item come from?”

“How long have you had it?”

“Are there any markings or labels on it?”

Experienced sellers will often share detailed backstories, while vague answers may signal reproductions.

Tools and Supplies to Bring

Equip yourself with these essentials for a productive flea market trip:

Magnifying Glass: Perfect for inspecting jewelry hallmarks and small details.

Flashlight: Handy for examining items in dimly lit areas.

Measuring Tape: Essential for checking dimensions of furniture or clothing.

Notebook or App: Keep track of items you’re considering and compare prices.

Navigating Flea Markets: Beginner and Advanced Tips

Beginner Tips

Arrive Early: Early birds get the best finds before the crowds arrive.

Walk Through First: Do an initial sweep of the market to spot potential treasures before committing.

Set a Budget: Avoid overspending by setting a clear budget beforehand.

Advanced Tips

Negotiate: Polite bargaining is expected. Start with a lower offer and meet the seller halfway.

Bundle Deals: Buying multiple items from the same vendor can often lead to discounts.

Look Underneath: Inspect the underside of furniture and labels inside clothing for authenticity clues.

Real vs. Fake Examples

Here are some examples to illustrate the differences:

Vintage Dress: Real: Metal zipper and union label. Fake: Plastic zipper and modern care tag.

Mid-Century Chair: Real: Solid wood and dovetail joints. Fake: Veneer over particleboard and screw construction.

Art Deco Brooch: Real: Engraved hallmark and substantial weight. Fake: Lightweight with glued-on stones.

I wanted to post my more in-depth thrift tips.

I had an ask a while ago asking for my advice on tips. And I’ve had this in my drafts for a while just to make sure I really added everything I wanted to. So I’ve been going to thrift stores and garage sales my whole life but really picked it and collecting up as a hobby in 2009. Starting with basics. When I personally thrift, I go to local flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales, church sales, goodwills, any place near by that re sells used items. It’s cheaper in person than looking online. 100%.

My Main Rules:

Never pay full price. This stuff is USED and older for that matter. I don’t care if people think it’s rare, it’s used. Some things are on their last legs of life. I can’t tell you how many times I bought a vintage item or even clothes and they break, tear ex as soon as u get home, test it out, wear it then it breaks! It happens!) always keep that in mind. I also like to keep E6000 clear glue around just in case it’s something I can fix. (If u also try E6000, make sure to follow instructions on bottle exact and it will hold up forever. I glued heavy glass and it’s still together years later)

Only possibly think of spending a little more if the item is in a box and old stock or if it’s super meaningful to you. BUT if u use my tips, u can find old stock in boxes cheap even or decent priced when thrifting. I only pay little more or seek something out if it’s meaningful to me or extremely sentimental. (Old favorite toy or I got rid of and want back, something I always wanted and can now cause I’m 30! Ex….) 😂 otherwise, I don’t buy if the price isn’t right.

If you aren’t sure if it’s actually vintage, look for the year on the item, tag ex, or if u have a phone, look it up, look up the brand! Some super old stuff don’t have years on them too so keep that in mind, helps to use google.

I feel like if u go thrifting enough, u will find whatever you are looking for eventually so if the price isn’t right, don’t buy! You will probably see it again eventually and if you also do this as a hobby, u have a lifetime to come upon it again. lol

Go when u can afford it or really want to. I use to go WEEKLY, I would find things every week cause they constantly have different stuff. lol but now I have bills now and things are expensive, so it’s just not realistic for me anymore. I go once or maybe twice a month if I’m lucky. BUT I will admit, u will find a lot of items if u go weekly and can get first dibs but it can get pricey as it all adds up of course.

Leave no stones unturned. So when I go to the thrifting, I look EVERYWHERE. I spend HOURS. lol Sometimes u find the best stuff in the weirdest spots! I found a ADULT Powerpuff girls sweater from 2000 in the kids xl section! I’ve found vintage bedding on random clothing wracks. Sometimes things get moved, you will be surprised on what u will find.

So this use to be one of my rules when I had a better phone plan lol but if I feel like I’m questioning a price on an item, I use to look it up on eBay or google. (If you use eBay, their is settings they show what items actually sell for and not just what they r listed as. THIS HELPS. Sometimes people put insane prices but they definitely aren’t selling for that much! Helps to see the actual value if u need to.)

If u go to garage sales or flea markets, don’t be scared to ask for prices or make offers. If u like it, ask! If the price isn’t right, just say thanks and go on ur merry way. Key is always be nice and respectful if they don’t budge on price. You’ll probably see it again. lol. Least u asked! I use to be too shy to ask and I’d regret it! Also I’d go home empty sometimes cause of it. But now, I seem to really connect with people and try to be nice, talk to them like a potential friend! Sometimes the interaction makes my day and I can get a laugh out of some people. Even sometimes being nice and funny person can go a long way with others. One time I went to a small town and it was the last day of garage sale weekend and people just seemed so nice and liked me, they gave me stuff for free it kept happening throughout the day! lol Sometimes people won’t budge on prices though and that’s fine. And other times, people just want stock or items gone! lol They want money, they don’t wanna take the junk back inside their home and I get it! lol for example, one place gave me stuff for free cause she was trying to get rid of kids toys, her kids had so much she gave me stuff for free, some powerpuff girl plushies for 25 cents! One time, I had a guy tell me a doll I was looking at was worth $200. (Which He was right they sold for that much in box, I looked it up when I got home) he said was worth $200 but he was asking $20 cause he wanted it sold. He had no attachment and needed extra cash as he kept buying to resell but hasn’t sold much. I told him she’s cute but idk. I kept looking at his other items. Finally when I walked away, he shouted $10! I bought her up! lol One day, I bought a giant box of McDonald’s toys, (second photo from top right above the TMNT bag) for $2 for the entire Box!! Completely full! Was a family at the flea market that was just having a garage sale so to speak, they were moving so they didn’t want anything! lol Also an example too of the opposite scenario, an older lady was selling all spice girls dolls in box for $80 dollars all together (at the time the whole lot was cheaper on eBay, they were $45 for the lot and this stuff wasn’t popular so it just wasn’t selling at the time.) I asked price of baby spice alone and she wouldn’t split the band. I said ok thanks and went on my merry way! I later in life got 3 of the girls for $10 to $6 a piece in box. lol

HAVE FUN. This is my hobby. I’ve been doing this as a hobby since 2009! Of course it takes a while to get as much as I have. But I really only recommend thrifting if u REALLY enjoy it and collecting. You really have to enjoy it and to keep going! It’s like a treasure hunt to me! I do it as a collector cause it’s a blast. I‘ve met such interesting people, I’ve seen such cool things even if I didn’t bring it home and couldn’t afford the item. It’s fun! It’s so exciting to find something on a shelf u haven’t seen in years. Also fun to find things u forgot existed or just speak to u personally! I literally buy anything that just feels like it belongs with me anymore. I fall in love with the moment I look at it. I use to think, oh people will think I’m weird? and I still remember those items I passed up YEARS later and say why did I leave that behind? lol 😂 It’s such a cool hobby. I can tell u what I paid for just about everything! 😂 I remember it all cause I really do love it and I LOVE deals.

Also, all the pictures above are mine and things I thrifted, do not steal! If u have any questions about how much I paid for some of these items, or have any questions in general, don’t be afraid to ask. If u wanna know tips about thrifting on toys, clothes, ex, please ask! I will try to help to the best of my knowledge. The 2nd photo, 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th photo are perfect examples cause it’s everything I got at ONE flea market or thrift store, just one stop. Sometimes I find full collections! Each photo are from different days but are definitely good examples. Also if I forget anything I feel is super important to add, I’ll probably post another part 2 or something. ❤️ hope this helps someone.

I think it it would be cool, if any followers decided to thrift or if you use any of my tips and find some cool stuff, to make a post and tag me! Show me ur cool finds, what tips helped the you the best if u feel like adding that.

OMG congrats on your new job!!!! do you have any insider tips on thrifting/buying secondhand??

thank you so much!!! and YES, i have so many, these are the most important imo:

join your local ‘buy nothing’ group on fb/insta, etc. rich ppl who live in your neighborhood are literally always giving away cool stuff - often brand new - bc they have no concept of how much things are worth and don’t want to bother selling it.

avoid depop & poshmark like the plague. shit gets marked up like crazy - if ur shopping online for vintage, try ebay instead. or find ppl who are sellin’ stuff through instagram.

know your measurements! take a fuckin garment tape measure to the thrift store & measure what you can’t try on to get an idea of how it’ll fit you. people will stare at you for doing this, don’t worry about it.

always always try and find small, local thrift stores. avoid goodwill & salvation army unless they’re all you’ve got in your area. if they are, stuff gets marked down significantly towards the end of the month, and try going to the locations toward the outer part of town. the same shit will be priced higher in like, downtown areas or whatever.

goodwill outlets - with the huge blue bins, are the best place to find weird shit for super cheap but you have to literally dig through huge piles of stuff to find anything. there will be a ton of rude re-sellers there, don’t worry, employees hate them too. plan to get there really early or closer to close for less crowds.

idk if these are just popular in the south, but stop at that yard sale you were gonna drive past! go to the antique mall! find a flea market and spend a couple of hours going through all the insane little booths!

be nice to thrift store employees. they don’t decide on the pricing, usually, and when they do - they sure as hell aren’t going to give you something cheaper if you’re being a dick. we will put aside cool shit for regulars, and even call or message you from our instagram to ask if you want it and it’s the highlight of our day.

The Best of the Canton Flea Market: Tips for Scoring Incredible Deals

Exploring a flea market is like embarking on a treasure hunt. The Canton Flea Market, in particular, is a haven for bargain hunters, offering everything from vintage collectibles to quirky knick-knacks. The thrill of the hunt and the joy of scoring incredible deals make it a must-visit destination. Here are some tips to help you make the most out of your visit and snag those unbeatable bargains.

Arrive Early for the Best Selection

The early bird truly catches the worm at the Canton Flea Market. Arriving early gives you first dibs on the best items before the crowds arrive. Vendors often bring out their most prized pieces at the start of the day, so getting there early increases your chances of finding unique and valuable items. Plus, you'll have more time to leisurely browse without the hustle and bustle of a packed market.

Come Prepared with a Game Plan

With so many stalls and items to explore, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Having a game plan can help you stay focused and make the most of your time. Decide in advance what types of items you're looking for, whether it's vintage clothing, antique furniture, or handmade crafts. This way, you can prioritize the vendors and sections that are most likely to have what you want.

Dress Comfortably and Bring Supplies

Comfort is key when spending a day at the flea market. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. Bring a tote bag or backpack to carry your purchases and consider packing essentials like water, snacks, and sunscreen. Having these supplies on hand will keep you energized and ready to shop until you drop.

Brush Up on Your Haggling Skills

One of the best parts of flea market shopping is the opportunity to haggle. Don't be shy about negotiating prices with vendors—it's often expected and can lead to great deals. Start by politely asking for a discount and be prepared to walk away if the price isn't right. Vendors are more likely to give you a better deal if they see you're willing to leave. Remember, haggling should be friendly and respectful.

Inspect Items Carefully

It's important to thoroughly inspect items before making a purchase. Check for any damage, wear and tear, or missing parts. This is especially crucial for vintage and antique items. Don't be afraid to ask vendors for more information about the item's history and condition. If you're handy with repairs, minor flaws can be an opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

Bring Cash for Better Deals

While some vendors may accept credit cards, cash is often preferred and can sometimes get you a better deal. Having cash on hand makes transactions smoother and quicker. Plus, it allows you to take advantage of impulse buys without worrying about payment methods. Make sure to bring smaller bills and change to make bargaining easier.

Don't Rush Your Decision

Take your time to explore the market and compare prices before making a purchase. If you find an item you love, it's okay to walk away and think about it before committing. This also gives you a chance to see if another vendor has a similar item at a better price. Flea market shopping is about enjoying the hunt, so don't rush the experience.

Network with Vendors

Building relationships with vendors can be beneficial for future visits. Friendly conversation and genuine interest in their items can lead to insider tips and early access to new finds. Vendors may even remember you and offer special deals or notify you when they have items that match your interests.

Conclusion

The Canton Flea Market is a treasure trove of incredible deals and unique finds. By arriving early, coming prepared, and honing your haggling skills, you can make the most of your shopping experience. Remember to take your time, inspect items carefully, and build connections with vendors. With these tips in mind, you're sure to score some amazing bargains and have a memorable day at the market. Happy hunting!

Optimize natural light by maintaining hygiene and clean windows. Organize furniture in such a manner that it doesn’t obstruct the sun. Start using translucent shades or drapes to preserve seclusion while letting in diffused light. Use well-placed mirrors to reflect more light from the outside which makes the space feel lighter and more spacious. As a result, less artificial lighting is needed during the day.

2. Embrace the natural Plantation:

Indoor plants not only add a touch of positivity and serenity to your space but also contribute to a healthier environment.

Long-Term Value: Sustainable eco-friendly materials are often chosen for their durability and long-term commitment. This means they will last longer, require less replacement and save money.  Additionally, sustainable design can help to improve energy efficiency leading to lower bills.

Huge Client Demand: As people become more aware of environmental issues, there’s a high-rise demand for sustainable design and eco-friendly interior products.

What differentiates sustainable design from green design?

The objective of green design is to lessen the negative effects of cement buildings, electricity, and household appliances. Sustainability has a major influence on interior design because it makes energy-efficient infrastructure possible.

On the other hand, The focus of sustainable design is mostly on the structure itself, utilizing reusable elements like glass and stone to create a long-lasting impact. Contemporary interior designers utilize computer- technologies such as BIM and AR to attain sustainable eco-friendly designs, particularly in large-scale projects.

Vintage Jacket: Tips To Find The Best Ones

In a world of fleeting trends, vintage jackets offer a unique opportunity to uncover timeless pieces with character, history, and a style that stands the test of time. Vintage jacket hunting is not just shopping; it's a treasure hunt, a journey through time, and a chance to add one-of-a-kind gems to your wardrobe. While some customize a blank jacket to give it a vintage tone, others prefer more authenticity. 

Here are some tips for finding authentic yet hidden vintage jacket treasures.

Know What You're Looking For

Before diving into the world of vintage jacket hunting, it's essential to have a clear idea of what you want. Do you seek a classic denim jacket, a vintage leather biker jacket, or perhaps a retro windbreaker? Or are you looking for a wholesale jacket supplier to make your own brand of custom jackets? Define your style and preferences to narrow down your search and avoid getting overwhelmed by the vast market.

Research and Education

Knowledge is your best tool when it comes to vintage hunting. Learn about different eras, brands, and jacket styles. Familiarize yourself with the materials and manufacturing techniques used in the past. Knowing the history and details of a specific jacket style can help you identify authentic pieces and recognize hidden gems.

Visit Vintage and Thrift Stores

One of the most exciting aspects of vintage jacket hunting is the thrill of discovery in local vintage and thrift stores. These shops often hide treasures that are waiting to be found. Take your time browsing through racks and shelves, and don't be afraid to dig deep. Vintage stores are treasure troves, and patience pays off. If you just can’t afford the time, try contacting a wholesale apparel store to see if they have vintage jacket collections worth checking out. 

Attend Vintage Fairs

Vintage fairs, flea markets, and clothing expos are fantastic places to discover unique jackets. These events bring together a variety of vendors and collectors, offering a wide selection of vintage clothing. Be prepared to haggle, as many sellers at these events are open to negotiations especially if you are prepared for bulk apparel purchases.

Online Vintage Shops

The internet has opened up a world of vintage shopping opportunities. Online vintage shops and marketplaces like Etsy, eBay, and Depop feature an extensive range of vintage jackets from different eras and styles. Read product descriptions carefully, check seller ratings, and ask questions to ensure the authenticity and condition of the jacket.

Try Before You Buy

Whenever possible, try on vintage jackets to ensure they fit comfortably and flatter your body shape. Examine them closely for signs of wear, damage, or alterations. Check zippers, buttons, and stitching for quality. Also, vintage sizing can vary significantly from modern sizing, so don't rely solely on the labeled size. Remember that vintage jackets might have a unique cut or fit that differs from contemporary styles.

In the world of vintage jacket hunting, the thrill is in the chase, and the reward is in the discovery. Each vintage jacket carries a piece of history and a unique story, making it a wearable work of art. So, armed with these tips, set out on your vintage journey, and uncover those hidden gems that will make your wardrobe truly exceptional.

Could i request Chuuya and a new Port mafia executive who only wears thrifted clothes (that usually leads to the most unique and weird outfit choices) and at first Chuuya would be like... "What are my eyes seeing, who is this person. Everyone else dresses so well here" Then everyday at work he would get more intriqued with their style and start to love their outfits bc the outfits also shows off their personality and he would be looking forward to seeing their outfit of the day. One day Chuuya would overhear reader complimenting Akutagawas vintage clothing and then Chuuya would ask where do they keep pulling these clothes from when they could afford expensive brand clothing and Reader taunts Chuuya for being too "fancy" for flea shops and then Chuuya would be trapped to spend an afternoon shopping together at fleashops (and totally not bc he was jealous of reader complimenting Akutagawa) bonus points if he falls in love with some vintage hats 🤩 (Will love you forever if you write this and don't be afraid to change the plot if i was being too spesific)

C/n: bro this was so much fun to write. I love my anti-gravity king. Thanks for requesting and I hope that you enjoy🤍

I Don’t Dress to Impress. (Chuuya x Reader)

It’s like he was high on shrooms. The blob of color that stood in front of him made him feel like he hallucinating.

“Everyone, meet Y/n L/n. Our new Port Mafia Executive. They will be in charge of the 2nd division. Be nice everybody.” Mori says and Chuuya eyes this person. Who, in their right state of mind, combines green with brown? Pink and beige? Chuuya could have a fashion heart attack then and there. “ ‘Sup everyone. The name’s Y/n. Glad to be working with everyone!” They say happily and bow.

Chuuya was assigned to show Y/n the ropes and as he explains stuff he couldn’t help but look at their..interesting choice of fashion. The shoes were on a whole other level, don’t get him started on that. How the hell does one dress like that? While everyone here dressed in the best clothes to show off the money of the mafia, this person wore clothes that looked like they belonged in the back of a closet to be long forgotten.

But as the time passed, he started to get to know Y/n. They were this bubbly, happy person that made everyone’s day unintentionally better. He really grew to like them. Not that he would admit that of course. Y/n was powerful too. It was a breath of fresh air to see them fight because they did with little to no effort. Kind of like their thoughts towards dressing.

Chuuya was walking to his office when he heard their voice. “Damn, Akutagawa. I really adore your clothing. I love the cravat!” Chuuya rolls his eyes. Flattery will get you nowhere with Akutagawa.

“Why thank you, Y/n. I’m glad someone notices. I like your pockets. Can keep a lot of stuff in there.” Akutagawa says while Y/n chuckles. Chuuya gasps softly. Ouch. Chuuya wore good clothes how come Y/n never complimented him?

Later that day, Y/n laid on Chuuya’s couch as they read while he wrote and typed. The question was on the tip of his tongue and he needed to know.

“Y/n?” He calls and they hum.

“If you don’t mind me asking,” he begins and Y/n looks at him, “why those clothes? I mean, you’re a Mafia executive so you must have a lot of money like us. So why not invest in some fashionable clothes?”

Y/n sits up with a smirk. “Oh? Is Mr. Port Mafia Executive Chuuya Nakahara too high and mighty to buy something cheap and comfy rather than brand items?” They ask, voice laced with mock. Chuuya scoffs. “That’s not what I meant.”

“No, that’s exactly what you meant. I don’t dress to impress, Chuuya.” They say and put on a thinking face. “Ok, how about this,” they get up and lean on his desk palms down and face close to his, “tomorrow, we head to a flea market. There’s one downtown and if you don’t like anything there, I’ll start using Luis Vitton and Gucky for you. Deal?” They push their hand out and Chuuya looks at the torn glove covered hand. But he takes it and ignores how soft it feels and says: “Deal.” Y/n leaves with a wave and Chuuya recalls their conversation and furrows his eyebrows.

“Did they mean Louis Vuitton and Gucci?”

~~~~

The next afternoon, Chuuya walked with Y/n around a flea market. He isn’t going to lie, many things caught his eye. There was a lovely pocket watch that he liked and many vintage type of clothes.

“Hey, Chuu! C’mere!” He looks to see Y/n waving at him and he blushes at the nickname. “What, idiot?” He asks and they point to a stall that made Chuuya’s heart stop.

Hats. So many hats.

Y/n and him walked up to it and a lovely old lady got up from her seat to greet them. “What a lovely couple. Here to get some matching hats?” She asks and Chuuya was about to say no, but Y/n beat him.

“Actually, my boyfriend needs a new hat. I told him that a market was the best place to get a unique one just like him.” Y/n smiles and looks at Chuuya. “Y-Yeah. I’m here for a nice hat.” He says and the old lady studies him. “I think I might have just the thing, dearie.” She says and goes to the back of her stall and comes back with a beautiful black hat with red and white roses.

Chuuya takes the hat and looks at it with starry eyes. Y/n smiles as they look at Chuuya and slyly pays the lady. They take off Chuuya’s current hat and puts the new one on him. “Let me see.” He turns and Y/n smiles. “Unique. Just like you.” They whisper and Chuuya places his other hat on their head.

“I think you’re the unique one here, Y/n.”

——————————————————————————

“The fact that Chuuya wasn’t embarrassed about Y/n made me all fluffy inside.”

Hi, your vulture culture collection is absolutely magnificent! I'm kind of new to it and a bit nervous about purchasing things, since it seems that just about every animal is illegal to own parts of in Finland (from what I've researched). Do you have any tips for an aspiring vulture? -A fellow Finn (thanks in advance!)

Hi! Thank you, I’m flattered you came to me for advice! This is a wide question but I can give you some practical tips.

As a general rule, all domestic mammal skulls (horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, pet rodents etc.) are legal to buy and own. They’re easily available and usually fairly affordable so they’re a good starting point. Cat and dog pelts (tanned skins with fur) are a bit questionable, there’s laws that prohibit selling them but I’ve also encountered legal pieces that have been mounted into taxidermy. But again, dog and cat skulls are okay and very popular among VC collectors.

From Finnish wild mammals, you shouldn’t have problems buying/cleaning and owning pieces of these common species: moose, whitetail deer, roe deer, reindeer, wild boar, red fox, raccoon dog, most of our mustelids (except otter and wolverine), rabbits and hares, beavers and small rodents.

Finnish mammals that require specific permits (usually either CITES permit or EU trade regulation permit (EU-todistus)) include wolf, lynx, brown bear, wolverine, otter, various seals, all bats and wild hedgehogs, I think.

I don’t have many bird, reptile, fish and insect parts in my collection so I can’t really help you with those. But be cautious, a lot of bird and reptile bones and taxidermy mounts are off limits.

Here’s a couple of helpful links:

Find the animals scientific name and search that on Species+.  Species+ is an official, up-to-date database that lists all endangered animal species and how tightly the trade of their parts is regulated. If your search doesn’t return any information then the animal is not protected. If it does, you need to:

Read Ympäristö.fi’s articles about trade of CITES or EU protected species if you really want to have protected animal parts in your collection. You can call or email ympäristö.fi directly if you have questions, I have done that before.

Uhanalaisten lajien kansainvälinen ja EU:n sisäinen kauppa ja sitä koskevat luvat (CITES)

CITES-lajiliitteet ja lajihakupalvelut 

If you purchase skulls or taxidermy from abroad, try to buy from reputable and ethically sound sources. There’s quite a few vendors in this business that don’t care about laws or animal welfare and it might take time for you to start recognizing them. It’s best to avoid products that come from China.

A few trustworthy online shops I can recommend:

De Museumwinkel (Netherlands)

SkullStore (Canada)

Blue Duiker (South Africa)

Folie à Deux Deco (France)

Götan Maailma (Finland)

If you’re confident enough, you can also buy from Etsy, Ebay and directly from other collectors via Instagram. These are the places where I make most of my best finds, but you need some common sense and experience when dealing with these.

Remember to check every flea market, carage sale and antique shop for vintage and second-hand finds. I keep an eye on huuto.net and tori.fi as well.

I hope this helped at least a bit! I’m not an expert on wildlife laws, I’m just a motivated and well-meaning hobbyist. If you have any further questions you can PM me and I’ll try my best to give you an educated answer.

In today's post, we’ll share with you some tips and tricks on finding the best vintage pieces for your home while keeping your budget in mind.

Vintage Furniture is Timeless

Vintage furniture is timeless for a reason, and it's not just about being on-trend.

1 - Decide on Your Style Is your home more traditional or edgy? What about colorful and bold or soft and subtle? You'll want to consider what type of furniture will fit with these styles as you shop for vintage pieces.

2 - Work with Local Experts Working with local experts can help you find the right furniture for your home and your budget. They'll be able to show you a wide range of options, from the size to the color to the style (and even the price).

3 - Try Shops Near Your Home There are several advantages to shopping at local vintage furniture shops. For one thing, you can find a greater selection of items than in warehouses or thrift stores.

Also, because these businesses are often small, they can be more flexible with delivery times and delivery locations (which is essential if you live in an apartment).

If something doesn’t work out for you or your space, the store might even offer a return policy — something that’s less common when buying online.

4 - Decide on a Budget Before You Shop The idea of finding a vintage furniture piece you absolutely love (and paying for it) may seem overwhelming, especially if you're on a budget. The key is knowing your budget before shopping. That way, you don’t suddenly overspend on a pair of lamps you’ve always wanted instead.

5 - Don't Forget Online Sellers In addition to local sellers, there are also many international ones from whom you can purchase quality items at affordable prices. In fact, many times, international sellers have better shipping options than their local counterparts.

Finally, don’t underestimate the power of local yard sales, Facebook marketplace, eBay, or Craigslist.

Add Style with Vintage Furniture!

Finding vintage furniture can be a great way to add character and personality to your home. Whether you’re looking for pieces that will work with modern or traditional décor, there are endless options available at local flea markets, antique shops, and even online websites.

Take your time, and don’t be afraid of a bit of risk. This is a fun hunt for the best vintage furniture you can afford, so keep your budget in mind when scrolling for a new piece.

You can get a good idea of what types of pieces and level of spending you want by exploring our site at Designs by Deborah. If you do not find a great piece here, at least you can focus on the exact vintage furniture you are looking for in the future. Good luck!

SoCal Thrift Shopping Guide

Previously I had written a post on thrifting 101 where I gave you thrifting tips for the best trip. Since thrifting was and maybe still has become a “trend” a lot of thrift stores are popping up or becoming more popular. For that reason, I will be giving you some thrift stores/vintage stops where you should shop. Some of the stores which I will mention are in the LA area but I encourage you to try to visit them sometime because you never know what you will find.

The first thrift store which I definitely would want to visit and one which you should stop by too is Out of the Closet. This thrift store has locations all throughout Los Angeles and even on in Pasedena. It is open Monday-Saturday from 10 am to 7pm and Sunday at 10am-6pm. Purchases at this thrift go towards people with HIV/AIDS. With every purchase Out of the Closet donats 96 cents to the AIDS Helathcare Foundation or AHF. They are pretty big advocates for this issue considering they have a lot of information about the foundation on their website and make it clear that they help this issue. Aside from this OOTC offers free HIV testing by certified testing counselors at certain locations. Overall this place is highly rated for their large and trendy inventory. Based upon reviews many considered this place to have friendly employees who are quite knowledgeable about their inventory. Depending on what you are looking for items are reasonably priced. The only problem I came across was the donation process which some people did not have the best experience. For that reason I recommend to just shop there and to donate someplace else.

Savers and Value Village are pretty big in the Midwest but there are locations here in California. Both stores are part of what they call the same family or chain of retail which is why I put them together in one category. Both thrift stores are typically in large locations and carry a good amount of inventory. Personally, I have visited the Savers down in Riverside. My experience wasn’t one which I expected. One thing I did like however was how organized the thrift store was. If you were looking for something specific you won’t have to look very hard to find an item here since the merchandise is categorized specifically. Aside from that I was disappointed in their inventory. Now this isn’t to bash the store but rather share my experience for purposes of this blog. The jeans were very worn out and old for the price and there weren’t many good quality tops. However, all stores are very different and merchandise in thrift stores are constantly changing. However, you tubers and other bloggers have found some really good pieces at both locations so I recommend giving it a try because you never know what you can find. One thing interesting about both stores is how big they are on reusing and according to their website they have kept over 700,000,000 pounds of reusable items out of landfills. For more information about the causes they support visit their website at https://www.savers.com 

Although the Melrose Trading Post technically is not a thrift store I just had to include it because the majority of the items you can find here are second hand or homemade. The melrose trading post is a large flea market held only on Sundays from 9am-5pm at Fairfax High school in Los Angeles. To enter you do have to pay a small fee but it goes towards supporting the vendors. This month of January it is $4 per person or $5 regular price year round except when discounted entries are offered. This place is amazing for all the different varieties of items you will be able to find. The Melrose Trading Post has always been pretty popular but lately it has become more recognized for its trendy and unique clothing. Some items which can be found are steal while others depending on brand and condition are bit more pricey than your average thrift store. This is definitely a place to stop by at least once and if you do, make sure to come early because not only can it get crowded but you will be able to browse and shop the best inventory.

Now I could talk about a million other thrift stores which I know and love but I wouldn’t want to make this post too long! So I will briefly mention other places where I have found good items, want to visit or love to shop at.

https://mydeelux.com First known in the 90s as the “Cool Jerk” selling primary denim Levis. Now is a place where you can buy, sell, and trade and is known for inventory of contemporary and vintage clothing. Has locations in Orange and Claremont, CA.   

http://redwhiteandbluethriftstore.com/covina-ca/ Popular local thrift store with large inventory. Thrift store with really good deals including 50 percent off daily and has everything for houseware to clothing. Has locations in Covina, Azusa, and Van Ays, CA.

http://fullcirclethriftshop.org Small but very aesthetic thrift store with reasonable prices and good inventory. I have found multiple sweaters at good prices from this location. Deals include a red tag $1 section and different price reductions on colored tags. 

https://boysrepublic.org/auxiliary-thrift-shop/directions/ Very close to Full Circle thrift. Is small but has interesting inventory mainly vintage and 90s clothing. Is part of Boys Republic school which helps youth with behavioral, emotional, and educational difficulties by leading them back on the right track. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s post and I will be back with more next week!

The Ultimate Guide From Interior Designer for Creating a Vintage Feel in Your Home

Who doesn't love a bit of vintage style? It's no secret that it can add instant character and charm to any space. But what if your home is on the larger side, and you're not sure how to achieve that vintage look without feeling too cramped or cluttered? An interior designer in Ahmedabad helps you with styling with some tips for transforming your home into a vintage-inspired dream home. Read on for top tips!

Start with the walls - paint them a light colour or use wallpaper for a textured look.

One of the easiest ways to create a vintage feel in your home is to start with the walls. Paint them a light colour like ivory or cream, or use wallpaper with a textured pattern. You can also add wall sconces or hanging tapestries for a more dramatic look.

If you want to go further, you can invest in vintage furniture and décor. Look for items at flea markets, garage sales, and antique stores. Or, try reproductions that capture the style of a particular era. Finally, don't forget the details. Use vintage linens, tablecloths, and dishes. Display family photos in antique frames. And utilise items that have a personal meaning to you, even if they're not technically "vintage." By following these tips, you can give your home a warm and inviting feel that is truly unique.

Add vintage furniture and accessories to give the room character.

When creating a vintage feel, you can't forget about the furniture and accessories. That's why we've put together this ultimate guide on how to do just that. Vintage furniture is one of the best ways to add character and charm to your home. But buying vintage pieces can be expensive, so you might want to consider buying them secondhand or finding them at flea markets or antique stores (which are often cheaper than buying new ones).

Use bold patterns and colours to create visual interest.

You can use bold patterns and colours to create visual interest. However, you need to ensure that the pattern is not too large or small, bright or dark. You should also avoid using busy patterns that are difficult to see in a room. For example, if you have an old house with dark wood floors, then it's best not to use white walls with black paint because they will look out of place against such a backdrop. Well, an interior designer In Ahmedabad suggests choosing something more neutral like eggshell or taupe tones which will create contrast while still being warm enough for the space!

Make a statement on your ceilings.

Add a Statement. If you're looking for something that will have an immediate impact and is also practical, consider adding a chandelier to your space. You can find them in all shapes, sizes and materials—and they come in different looks (think traditional or contemporary). If you want to go bolder than the traditional crystal look, try out modern crystal pieces that have been customised with metal fixtures or coloured glass.

Hang mirrors and artwork to add dimension.

Hanging mirrors to reflect light is one of the easiest ways to add dimension and create a vintage feel. Mirrors can be hung directly on the wall, or they may be placed into an antique frame with either white or coloured glass. Mirrors are also great for adding colour and texture as well as making a statement in a room! Artwork should be hung strategically throughout your home to break up the space while still creating focal points that draw your attention or tell stories about who you are as an individual.

It Is Important To Follow A Few Tips When Buying Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, there is a lot of advice that people have to give. This article will give you many tips about jewelry, whether it is for buying, selling, or even making. Use this article to help you learn more about jewelry, and have fun on your adventure.

Try adding a special personal touch to your pieces by getting them professionally engraved. You can add just about anything and it makes it a more special and memorable piece to you or somebody you care about. You can get names, initials, small messages, symbols, etc. finely carved into your pieces to truly make them one-of-a-kind.

Many people see jewelry labeled as sterling silver plated and oftentimes think they've hit the jackpot when they purchase it at a very low price. In this case unfortunately, you do get what you pay for. This type of jewelry only contains a very thin coating of sterling silver on top of a cheap metal which can usually be identified as copper. The jewelry will eventually tarnish and cause the copper to show through underneath with enough wear.

Attending yard-sales is a great way to build up a collection of jewelry. Many people sell old costume jewelry for practically pennies. This is a perfect opportunity to stock up on broken pieces that can be repaired or made into new jewelry later. Many new beautiful pieces of jewelry can be born of old broken pieces. Use yard-sales to build up your collection.

The world of body piercing has taken body jewelry to new heights. Many people like the feeling of having their tongues pierced, but having metal jewelry in your mouth can be damaging to your teeth. There are many colorful options available for plastic tongue jewelry that is safer for your mouth and won't make your dentist cringe.

To make sure your necklace matches your outfit, look for pieces that mimic your neckline. If you're wearing a v-neck top, pair it with a dramatic necklace that has angular elements. To compliment a scoop necked shirt, look for a necklace that's rounded. A boatneck top looks best with a long, dangling necklace.

To create a fashion forward look on a budget, try shopping for vintage jewelry. Jewelry trends are cyclical and stylish jewelry can often be found for cheap at thrift stores. Take the time to sort through the old jewelry at your local thrift stores and flea markets. You're likely to find some great pieces at a low cost.

If you're making wire jewelry and don't have wire cutters, just use a pair of fingernail clippers. The fingernail clippers are small and great for fine cutting. They will be able to manipulate through most sterling silver wire with ease. The fingernail clippers will no longer be useful for your nails though, because wire will dull them fast.

Now that you have read many tips on jewelry, you are ready to enter into the world of fashion. There is so much that can be done when it comes to jewelry, and you need to have the knowledge before you get started. When it comes to jewelry, knowledge is power.
