Someone Else’s Trash is Someone Else’s Treasure
The first floor houses a super-cute preloved boutique featuring vintage, used and new clothing, jewelry, accessories, gift wares and craft items (it’s almost impossible to not want to buy something, er…everything!). The second floor is where the magic happens in a Vintage Party Room that’s reminiscent of great-grandmas fancy formal living room. If you decide to throw a shindig here, an assigned host helps to coordinate everything around a tea party that features all vintage wares—from teacups and saucers to luncheon plates and serving tiers.

Girl Talk (and Tea)
While Vintage hosts all sorts of parties (think: baby showers, corporate gatherings, and grown-up get-togethers) their “Girlie Girl” Tea Parties are just what your tannin loving tyke ordered. Designed especially for littles (ages 6-12) who love to dress up, entertain friends and host cute tea parties, “Girlie Girl” Tea Parties are held for up to 12 guests in Vintage Glam’s party room or at an off site location.

Cheers!
This isn’t your mom’s tea party! Guests get to use petite teacups and saucers, luncheon plates, cloth table linens and napkins, silverware, platters and servers for cake,  Centerpieces, tea (herbal or fruit), punch, milk or juice—regardless of the beverage tea cups, saucers and/or punch bowls are used—during the tea party. And, come dressed to impress, but just in case, consider renting Vintage Glam’s Fabulous Dressing Table staged with feather boas, vintage hats, bracelets, necklaces, handbags, gloves and scarves to accommodate “dress-up” during the party.
