you know how there are times you go somewhere and sort of forget to enjoy it until you're gone, and then you realize you didn't need to be in such a rush? such is the case with my (quick) visit to
beaucoup vintage. a few weeks ago i made a little pit stop in fredericksburg, va on my way to northern va to see
carla. megan, the stylish owner of beaucoup vintage contacted me about a business deal involving my bullet necklaces and her store, and since i love an excuse to actually visit a store that sells
dinosaur toes jewelry, i couldn't say no! while i was there i took a few pictures to share, but of course after i left, i wondered why i didn't stay a little longer to browse (and possibly buy, but i can't say too much since my husband reads this). even though i was in an unnecessary hurry, i can still tell you that megan has put together quite an impressive collection, and i'm trying to think of an excuse to drive the two hours back to fredericksburg...
doesn't that look like a shop you could seriously have some fun in?! i totally could. oh, and before i forget, i did not take the beautiful second picture, i got it from
megan's twitter page, but i love that she has origami cranes hanging in the windows!
if you're near fredericksburg and you're a fan of vintage, you should definitely stop by and say hi...and be sure to spend more time browsing than i did. and if parallel parking freaks you out, it's totally fine, because you may get lucky like i did and have the man whose car is behind you walk out of a store laughing and tell you he's about to leave so you'll have more room to attempt parking (one or six more times).
What an awesome little shop! Makes me wish I lived nearby :)
ReplyDeleteThis place looks great! I love vintage shops that are clean and organized and have a well-curated selection of pieces. I'd love to spend some time in this shop. Are there a lot of vintage stores in your part of the world?
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty shop! i wanna visit and try everything on. looks like such an inspiring place all together. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That place looks so organized and adorably decorated. And let me just announce that I am a master at parallel parking. Probably b/c that's the only kind of parking in SF.
ReplyDeleteparallel parking is stupid. There is never anywhere to park in sd, so all you can do is parallel park. I do what Doug likes to call the 10 point turns. Uh...that shop is also really sweet. I like the photo you took of all the clothes on the rack. Looks great!! ;)

Oh wow - this shop is adorable. My sister is down in the Fredericksburg area. I'll have to tell her about it. :))
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of a parallel parking queen, but I can't imagine Beca trying to parallel park her massive amazing van!!! It's so rad! Anywho, that shop looks amazing! I wish I could go by & see it...& see your jewelry on display in a place as cool as that! Congrats on having it there for sale, btw! <333
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that told me about this shop not too long ago! I don't have much reason to head to Fredricksburg either but when I do, I'll def check it out :)
ReplyDeletecute! i'm going to file this away for whenever i'm near fredricksburg!
