This sweet little pine table with distressed painted legs for two was so hard for me to part with! I'm hoping she finds the perfect home with someone who will love her like I did 🤗 Available in my corner space at Happenstance Vintage.

I've taken a second space at Schoolhouse Antiques & Collectibles. This is the view as you walk down the aisle of my newest space on the left, and then looking straight on into my other space. I'm not done with staging or decorating it, but wanted to share. I felt I needed additional space to spread out the furniture that I have available. Visit vendor #54 soon please 😊

Fall is in the air (or at least I'm over summer at this point 🤭) I've taken a second space just outside of this one at Schoolhouse Antiques & Collectibles which allowed me to remove all the furniture clutter and move to my second space (still a work in progress), but love it!! This sweet, painted and distressed sofa table is now available (price and measurements in photos. Applicable sales tax will apply). I was able to also bring in Fall and Halloween decor 🍂🎃

Yes, Fall and some Halloween has crept into my spaces at Happenstance Vintage 🍂 Not that I'm over summer just yet, I'm just over the storms and high wind devastation we've endured here in Chicagoland. I love, Love LOVE me some Halloween, so let's go 🧙‍♀️ Why not?

We had such a great day! The hotdogs 🌭 were SO good, there were smiles for miles, but the best part was our customer support 💕 Here's to another successful year for our new Happenstance Vintage owners Phyllis and Shannon 🍷

BOTH THE STAND AND POT RACK HAVE SOLD 😊 Thank you!!

I was going to post these pics in the morning of this brass pot rack we brought in two nights ago. Mr. MHC was going to hang it from the ceiling on a chain, but hung it on the brass and copper birdcage stand we had previously brought it. I loved the idea! Well the birdcage stand sold today, so I'll be hanging the brass pot rack from the ladder in my corner space tomorrow. If I had a space in my kitchen, I would have brought the whole thing home, I loved the combination that much!!
