Vintage BMW friends, let’s try this again! Registration for The Vintage 2021 is open!
Despite our valiant efforts to find a suitable and safe venue we’ve decided to reschedule The Vintage to May 2021 September 2021. Please check out our Facebook page here for the most up to date info.
The Vintage has been rescheduled to May 2021
IMPORTANT UPDATE!! (From Scott’s Facebook post)
With North Carolina still in ‘Phase 2″, that means the possibility for an outdoor event in NC is now impossible. THE GOOD NEWS , I met with the BMW plant in Greer, SC and they have come to the rescue and offered up space to have The Vintage 2020 on Oct. 24th! South Carolina is giving exceptions for outdoor events that can conform to their current guidelines (social distancing, masks, etc) . I just have to submit a special form to the SC Department of Commerce.
So we are a “GO”.The venue only has room for about 500 cars , plus sponsor tents, vendors, and food trucks, so I have put a cap on registration and there are only a few spots left. BUT if it is full, register to be on the waitlist, that way if someone cancels, you will be next in line. Find a link to registration here .
If you have hotel reservations at The Clarion , Fairfield, or other hotels near the Clarion in Fletcher, NC , do not cancel them. At this time we are still planning on Friday evening registration in that area. If you had hotel reservations near Mountain Air in Burnsville, you will need to cancel those. I will hopefully have some suggested hotels near the new venue at the BMW plant in Greer, SC soon.Stay tuned for more info.(p.s., you won’t believe the efforts that friends of this event are going through to make this happen….truly amazing folks)
For more info please join our Facebook group as more up to the minute discussion going on there.
EDIT:: Please see the post above for new updates about venue changes.

Guten Tag Y’all,Well, all this Corona stuff has forced me to reschedule The Vintage 2020. OK, that’s all for the bad news, now the good news.New dates are: October 22-25, 2020. It doesn’t get any better than Fall in the Appalachian mountains. In fact “leaf-lookers” flock to the area each Autumn to take in the beautiful weather and fall color. EDIT:: Venue information in updated post above. Stay tuned for more updates. -Scott Sturdy – festmeister
Check our our Registration page to register for The Vintage 2020!
Thanks for making The Vintage 2019 a huge success! It was great to see our Vintage family again. Please enjoy this video by Erick Orlando and Motorventures that really captures what Vintage is all about. Get out there and drive!
Get your tickets now for the opening weekend of PASSION, a special event for the 50th anniversary of the BMW CCA. Just like the ICON and Heroes of Bavaria events, PASSION opens the weekend of The Vintage and will be filled with amazing examples of BMW CCA member-owned cars.
Tickets and more information are available using this link.
2019 will be the year of 5er celebration at The Vintage! E12s, E28s and E34s will be parked together in the grove area on the west side of the event venue. We’ll have more 5er related news as the event dates draw nearer. We had lots of great feedback from the last couple years when we focused on specific models (E3s in 2017, 2002s in 2018) and had them parked together. This year we’ll focus on Fives so bring ’em out!
The Vintage 2019 will be happening on May 16th – 19th. Hot Springs will again host us on Saturday and the Clarion Inn Asheville Airport in Fletcher will again be the main event hotel. We’re still working out details for the event schedule and registration will open in early 2019.

We are about to dive deep into our flea market season! There is nothing more exciting to me then the flea market. I love a good vintage haul, and spending not a ton of money on dusty filled items that have a story and character. Let me know in the comments if you’re a vintage enthusiasts too? Because I’ve got something fun coming to the vintage world this year, but for now lets talk about what I saw this weekend. I’ve got all the trend alerts to share with you. After all, some things are by gut and some things are by what I saw a lot of.
I’ve shared about this in the past, but vintage trends are very interesting to me. Because they are not something that the fashion world can decide on and start mass producing. Most of what you see in fashion comes from a trend research facility usually started from economical reasons, political, environmental, and what’s happening in the pop world. Could be swayed by television (Bridgerton is definitely a good reason for some of these) could be swayed by a global shutdown (which we saw in 2020 and 2021) and most of trends come from previous trends. I am not quite sure of the cycle of it all but as we see trends from the 90’s resurfacing in current fashion and home design…we can rely on this continuing to happen from decade to decade.
What I think is most interesting is the vintage world nothing can be mass produced anymore, so how does all of this arise? Well I think a few ways…
#1 That decade trend idea resurfacing. So as I just mentioned 90’s style is back in fashion, well I believe it’s also back in home fashion. With grandmillenial being a hot trend currently and even the European style these were both popular during the 90’s awful wallpaper trend trying to repeat “grandma’s” home (BUT BADDDD) and the Italian Mediterranean style of the early 2000’s (but very commercialized). So when we talk about these resurfacing we are seeing what we call “vintage”, yes 90’s and early 2000’s are now considered vintage, coming back to flea markets and vintage shops. Ducks being a big trend of the 90’s and a ton of floral pattern. Transferware and other patterned pottery and textiles are all the talk right now.
#2 Demolition of properties and buildings. I believe what happens is there are properties that either commercial contractors knock down and we are seeing products from these old warehouse and homes getting auctioned off and finding their way to these dealers. So a lot architecture or items that may of came from these buildings are coming down in large quantities and making their way at these flea markets and becoming “hot items”
#3 Social Media! Yes, believe it or not blogs, instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Facebook all play a part in what is happening in the trend world. With more and more designers and home decor acounts showing up and sharing their projects and even “unique” ideas the word spreads faster than ever. So we are seeing this quickly change the industry and mold it.
#4 Fashion! With fashion trends this will always have some kind of influence on the home industry. Which again if its a decade, pattern, color, or style it will influence the home and even vintage buys.
So, that’s my theory how vintage finds become “trendy” but it also depends on your style just as it does personal style and there are different trendy looks depending on your home style.
Let’s talk about what I saw “trending” this weekend at the flea market and what I predict will be hot for the flea market season in vintage home decor.
I know this was popular during the “Farmhouse” take over a few years ago but I saw many vintage scales at this weekends flea stroll. It was surprising but I guess with the increase of home gardeners and homesteaders it makes sense. Why not weigh your products at home in style. I can see more and more farmer’s markets becoming a thing so this makes a ton of sense. Not to mention they make a great prop for photography in the kitchen too.
We had our faux stems be a thing for a while so why not faux fruit? I never thought I would be a fan since the days of squeezing my grandparents plastic grapes as a child when I would visit their home. But… think alabaster, glass, ceramic fruits. Its becoming popular with the increase of the European style and Granny-chic. Both are nostalgic looks of a grandparent’s home or in my case Italian Grandparents home. I picked up some Morano glass grapes and I can’t wait to style them.
If you haven’t heard about the very pop-history show Bridgerton, then you might not be aware that it is most definitely influencing the home trends. I saw some very ornate lamps, sculpture, ceramics, etc. of this English Regency style. Just imagine some ornate queen looking scultpures and detailed furniture and moldings taking over interiors this year. I personally love the look and feel but also have a more classic clean aesthetic to my style so I would see incorporating this in moderation with my European Farmhouse home. Maybe ornate mirrors or classic paintings.
I shared about this above, becoming trendy because of the nostalgic feel of the 90’s style resurfacing. Can you remember mom having ducks in her home too? Or maybe while raising your kids you added some duck border wallpaper to a nursery? Its back but I think it’s good, after all I am quite the duck person these days haha. Think ducks in moderation again. Maybe a duck garden statue, brass ducks on a shelf, a collection of wooden ducks in a study, or a really cute duck or swan planter to display a house plant.
A few other items that caught my interest:
This was flea market #1 for me, so I look forward to seeing what the season brings along with my trip to Brimfield next month. That will certainly open up some more trend alerts!
I love a well designed home and I believe you can create this on every type of budget.

Home / Vintage Business / Vintage Selling / 2022 Vintage & Antique Trends
Hi there! I’m welcoming in the new year with a list of 15 vintage and antique items that I anticipate buyers will be looking for throughout 2022. I’m thrilled to be sharing my take on 2022 Antique & Vintage Trends.
These are the items that I’ll be searching for to sell over and over again in this year because so many collectors and decorators want them. They have a proven track record that I expect to see continue well into 2022, and probably beyond.
I’ve been buying and selling antiques for over twenty-five years, so I’ve brought all that knowledge and experience to bear on this list. (Click HERE to find out more about my background.)
If you’d like to get a serious jump on what’s selling in vintage and antiques, you’ll want to pick up my Savvy Seller Sales Guide 2020-21, coming out soon.
It will contain prices on every item I sold during 2020 and 21, broken down by category (books, ironstone, glassware, etc.) and platform (Etsy, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and my antique booth).
Click HERE to get early order pricing!
Today’s list contains items I’ve personally had experience selling, with confirmation based on extensive reading and feedback from my thousands of followers.
Many of those followers are also members of my private Facebook group– Your Vintage Headquarters . If you’re not a member yet, you should be!!
I had an absolute field day with ironstone this year. Not only did I sell several larger serving pieces from my antique booth, but I sold over 30 smaller pieces on Etsy. This Turner, Goddard & Co. pitcher, with the small chip, sold for $42 from my booth.
This year I learned that Etsy buyers look for ironstone items like mugs, creamers, small pitchers, and butter pats, and they are willing to pay premium prices for them.
White ironstone provides the perfect blank canvas for decorating since it allows more colorful antiques to really stand out when placed near them.
Look for signed English pieces since buyers prefer them and will pay more, but unsigned American pieces and some restaurantware sells well too.
Condition matters less with this collectible than with others. In fact, pieces with all-over browning are preferred by some collectors(!).
Quality costume jewelry continues to be an excellent seller from three platforms: Etsy, eBay, and antique booths. In particular, I’ve found that high end designer jewelry sells especially well on eBay.
The pair of earrings above, marked “Tabra,” serve as a good example of this. Made in Bali (Indonesia), these Bohemian-style pierced earrings sold for $125. A similar pair sold last year for $130.
In addition, this year I experimented with selling Trifari jewelry on eBay and had surprisingly good results. Look for perfect condition, signed pieces of costume jewelry to secure the highest prices.
Vintage and antique baskets appeal to collectors and decorators, not just for their beauty, but for their functionality. Want to contain extra pillows in the living room, remotes in the family room, baking supplies in the pantry? Baskets are the answer!
I sell examples like the basket above from my antique booth. It went for $45. Finer quality Native American baskets sell well for me on eBay where avid collectors are always on the lookout.
In general, avoid buying those large oak splint picnic baskets with the awkward lids for resale since they’re not popular. Instead, look for light weight, tightly woven baskets (often made of ash splint) with a darker surface patina and handles that have been securely integrated into the body of the basket.
Baskets with reeds that appear “hairy” rather than smooth signal a newer example that should be avoided.
Canning jars are a perennial good seller for me from my antique booth. I consistently secure values that are equal to eBay’s sold listings–or slightly higher. This saves me time and energy since I don’t have to photograph, list, or carefully ship them.
I always pick up every low-priced jar I come across with the exception of those made of clear glass with common names like Ball, Mason, and Atlas–unless they have some unusual characteristic.
Do pick up clear jars with interesting names, like the Presto Wide Mouth above, which sold for $18 from my booth.
Don’t let the lack of a lid prevent you from buying a jar. Keep a stash of screw-on zinc lids and glass lids for wired “lightning seals” on hand for easy mixing and matching. They are frequently available for a dollar or less out in the wild.
When I first got into the antique business, I didn’t give tools much thought. But as I began to notice other dealers selling them, and collectors and decorators buying them, my interest began to grow, LOL.
I have a container on a shelf in my booth that holds multiple tools for sale, and I sprinkle others around the booth where appropriate. Folding rulers shaped into stars, for example, accent farmhouse style booths nicely.
I hang levels and other interesting pieces, especially wrought iron ones on the wall. I placed the plane you see above on a table with some succulents tucked inside, and it sold for $28.
Look for tools made of wood or with wooden parts, signed tools, and colorful tools, like those with red handles.
“Farmhouse Style” antiques is a big, broad category, I know. But I find it necessary since all kinds of messy metal and wooden items can be found at estate sales (and curbside) that aren’t easily categorized.
This rusty, metal claw-like thingy that sold for $18 from my antique booth serves as a good example of this phenomenon.
I cleaned it up, slapped a price tag on it, and a buyer came along who fell in love with it. Not every item has to have a specific function, so long as it has a great “look.”
My thingy’s powerful silhouette suggests folk art when placed against a white wall. It could also make a great decoration on the outside of a shed or small barn. So many possibilities!
Train yourself to look for unexpected items in possibly unexpected places (e.g., the garbage pile) that once cleaned up or presented in an interesting way, could yield a good profit.
Leather bound books, or leather-spined books like those
