Small Earth Vintage finds have been available for years now not just on the internets, but also in a variety of fine vintage shops from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Montpelier, Vermont. Andy and I have been wanting to branch out a bit beyond consignment though...to be able to sell in a brick and mortar space, but without the great expense and responsibility of our own store. Well, we've found the perfect place here in Grand Rapids--Lost & Found.
We've been fans of Lost & Found since they opened. Mark and Christian run the store--which is located in an old furniture factory--and have it beautifully merchandised with an amazing selection of industrial, mid century modern, and primitive furnishings and antiques. I always kind of want to move in when I visit.
I want that rug!
Isn't this awesome? An old lighted sign advertising the various dining areas in Grand Rapids' old Pantlind Hotel. I totally want to have a cocktail in the Cypress Cellar!
We stopped in for a visit Friday night. I'm wearing one of my favorite new finds: a black eyelet lace dress. With pockets!
Here's Andy in the pea coat I made him start wearing. Handsome!
And finally, here's a peek at our corner of Lost & Found.
If you're in Grand Rapids stop by and visit! Lost & Found is located just south of downtown at 445 Century SW (check out their Facebook page for more information on them and their location; they regularly post great new finds there). We'll be loading our space up with some pretty cocktail and party dresses soon, to have on hand for the Lost & Found holiday open house on December 2 and 3.

ReplyDeleteKaren, I love your dress! especially with those little metallic t-strap heels. Haven't yet been to lost and found, but thanks for letting me know about it. I think the only shop I've been to over there is Scavenger Hunt.
ReplyDeletep.s. "Here's Andy in the pea coat I made him start wearing." Lol! :D
I love shops like this! I could spend days in them looking through all of the wonderful things on display. I wish I could visit Lost & Found and have a wander through your corner.
