Hello, friends! Today I have the most exciting news to share: Stockroom Vintage is teaming up with Porter Flea for the third edition of Nashville’s premier modern independent handmade market on June 16. This summer, Stockroom Vintage will be infusing Marathon Music Works with lots of vintage charm, outfitting every nook and cranny with retro wonderment. (Those of you who have been to shows at Marathon know it’s a stylist’s dream!)
And a collab with Porter Flea? Well, let’s just say I was ready to say a big “Hell, yes!” before I even got all the way through that initial email from the ladies behind this modern handmade marketplace. At my first coffee date with Porter Flea mavens Katie Vance and Jessica Maloan, I fell in love before I even finished my iced coffee. If you’ve met Katie and Jessica or attended the first two iterations of Porter Flea, you know how passionate they are about promoting Nashville’s indie craft movement and supporting local artists and small businesses. I’m so excited to share in that mission.
I’ll spend the next month happily combing through the Stockroom Vintage inventory, handcrafting lots of special touches and channeling that inspiration into styling the heck out of this amazing event (think lounge areas and vignettes galore). So, as you’re fawning over the handmade goods crafted by dozens of juried vendors (who offer a one-of-a-kind selection of paper goods, apparel, antiques, artwork, posters, furniture, home goods, and jewelry), enjoying the live DJ and noshing on some local food truck fare, I hope you’ll make yourself at home in one of our many vintage lounge areas.
Many thanks to Katie and Jessica and the rest of the Porter Flea team for bringing Stockroom Vintage on board. I’m thinking the result will be some serious summer loving. For more details on the event, check out the Porter Flea site. And, of course, you can follow Stockroom on Twitter and Facebook, where I’ll be sharing lots of inspiration and sneak peeks about this dream collaboration along the way.
xoxo, Elizabeth
