Relics to relish

Ever been torn between the purchase of an official, vintage mug from
The Lion King and a seven-piece Victorian cruet set? Or maybe it’s that Cypress driftwood sculpture, which would fit your decor perfectly. Heyday Antiques & Vintage is a charming, well-curated indoor marketplace with plenty to offer. The store is a collective of 18 vendors who stock and style their own unique shops within an Allied Street warehouse space.

“We want to be different,” says co-op member Laurel Lorigan, who has been selling in two stalls—one vintage and one formal antique—for five years.

That difference manifests naturally throughout each vendor’s thoughtfully organized lot. A stroll through Heyday offers equal parts time travel, discovery, and nostalgia, as shoppers peruse extensive book collections, paintings, furniture, and even a set of high-heel shoe forms, all sourced from travels, yard sales, and family attics.

Lorigan says she started selling as a way to support her own shopping habit, and Heyday’s unique, tasteful selections from the past are sure to support ours. See what’s new and old at heydaycville.com, and follow along at @heydaycville.
