There’s something for everyone
at Park Street Antiques
To say Park Street Antiques
carries a little bit of everything
would be an understatement. The
dealers are an eclectic group. Their
specialty booths feature vintage
jeans and T-shirts, antique glass-
ware, hard-to-find records, video
games, cards, comics, jewelry, and
more. There’s also a wide variety of
Southwestern and Native American
offerings, books, linens, furniture,
wall decor, barware, dish sets, and
postcards.
The same goes for vintage
home items, with people of all ages
turning to classics for decorating
and everyday use. A young couple
recently purchased a half dozen
eclectic art pieces to adorn their
bare walls, including a watercolor
of Dennis the Menace created
by Hank Ketcham, the original
comic artist. Customers often see
furniture or knick-knacks like their
parents had, or perhaps a dish with
a vintage pattern they want.
The dealers bring in new items
and move things around to keep
their individual areas fresh. Wel-
coming and knowledgeable, they
work together to ensure a pleasur-
able shopping experience.
“We all take pride in this shop,
and we place importance on featur-
ing quality items while keeping our
prices affordable,” Hill said. “We
each have our own niches, and
several dealers come in at least once
daily, which means we consistently
have new items. So, if you’ve visited
us before, be sure to come back
because you’re likely to experience
a completely different store.”
Repurposing, restyling, and
finding the past
“It’s really exciting when people
find a new purpose for an item,” Hill
said. “One customer bought a vin-
tage ashtray to tile with mosaics and
turn it into a little dish. When people
repurpose items, it’s really cool to
think about how it’s lasted 50 or 75
years before being given a new life
and not ending up in the landfill.”
“Our clothing, shoes, and
hats are popular, particularly the
vintage wear,” Hill said. “So many
people are into repurposing items,
especially clothing. We’ll have teens
and 20-somethings pick out long,
beautiful vintage night gowns with
gorgeous lace and trim, repurpose
them as dresses, put on some boots
and a cowboy hat, and they’re ready
to go!”
