Antique Christmas Shop-With-Me at a Vintage Market

Hi everyone! Today I'm shopping at the Forever Vintage Market in Belleville, IL. This vintage marker is held twice a year at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds and their Christmas market is my absolute favorite! There was so much vintage Christmas to see and I especially enjoy looking at how other vendors display their items in their booths. The market is full of unique and one-of-a-kind items, including vintage Christmas decorations, antiques, and refinished furniture. You can also find some great gifts like boutique clothing, handmade jewelry, and even beautifully decorated cookies. I'm sure you are going to love looking through all of these vintage Christmas decorations. Let me know in the comments below if you remember any of today's items from your childhood or if you collect something you see. I love to hear what antiques are your favorite! Thanks so much for watching! Merry Christmas!

I feel like the signs have just saturated the market and people are tired of them. Wish they would get tired of the gnomes, lol

[@barbarahaines7661]

You are SO right

[@td8866]

The gnomes are going away soon!

[@constancerobinson1377]

Awww not the Gnomes!

Merry Christmas Nicole! When you stated somewhere around 4:56, that you get stuck in the mindset of being able to make something you've seen if you really wanted to, but then never do. This brought back a memory of a sign I saw at a craft show about 25 years ago that read, "Yes, you probably could reproduce this... but will you?" Ever since that time, if I see something I really like, I just go ahead and get it, because I likely WILL NOT reproduce it.

[@vintageladydesign]

I buy it to remind me to reproduce and inspiration for that reason

[@kimtyndall876]

I agree with you sales are down. I just did a really big market not what it use to be but I have been doing this for 16 years now. I always love to see what other people are doing thanks. Merry Christmas

[@maryloucharron111]

I would go crazy there! Great things.

[@debbiel8585]

[@necoragha65]

I still love all the white furniture and that was my favorite booth! Thank you for taping it for us. I live in Idaho.

[@wilmaburns5280]

Thanks so much for sharing! My son lives in Belleville.....who knew they had such a market!?! I'll be sure to attend next year. Hopefully, they have a site to follow.

[@tamarataber9455]

Hi Nichole I’m a bit west of Saint Louis and I have been to this venue vintage before it was a blast . You should come to Saint Charles . You and your family have a Merry Christmas 💕🎄

[@nangel270]

Spools.

[@GreenOnionVintage]

Lol yes thank you!

[@ginamaria2579]

I’m really excited for the Spring fairs, have you heard of any ?

[@countrysister700]

Thanks for going to the trouble of videoing this. Interesting that many "vintage" stores and shows sell much more new/crafted items than true vintage

[@marybollinger8668]

This looks like a great vintage market! You said it is held twice a year, Christmas and....?

[@GreenOnionVintage]

Spring! I want to say it's in May but you can lime their Facebook page to stay in the loop.

[@lyndafreier4090]

[@kraftykathy.]

Merry Christmas, Nicole! I’m in Chattanooga, Tn., my booth doesn’t do well.. I have a channel on yt that shows what I do (come check me out..it’s “krafty Kathy”) but I buy thrift, and re- make it (I do dt stuff too), but… my area doesn’t do well for some reason🤷‍♀️it breaks my heart, I have to pull my booth in January 🥵anyways- I love your channel, and always look forward to your content! Ps.signs don’t do well for me🤷‍♀️

[@carolfeltner7744]

I love this stuff, but it's not antiques.

[@larainelamb6951]
