Plot twist: the girl who owns the pink antique store was once an elementary art teacher, summer theater coordinator, and professional actor. 🎭✨

I've spent my entire life helping people create.

Now I'm doing it from a giant pink antique store in downtown Kalona.

The Vintage Society was never meant to be "just an antique store." It's becoming a place where creative people find their people. A place where you can shop vintage treasures, drink tea, make something beautiful, learn a new skill, and leave with a few new friends.

Because honestly? Making friends as an adult is weird. 😂

So this next year, I'm on a mission to build an even bigger creative community. More craft nights. More art classes. More tea parties. More reasons to gather around a table and make something together.

If you're the person who buys craft supplies before you know what you're making... if your Pinterest boards are out of control... if you've been craving a creative outlet... I made this place for you. 💕

And if you've been looking for your sign, this is it.

Grab your bestie (or come solo—we adopt introverts here 😉) and join us next weekend for Crafternoon Tea! An afternoon of crafting, tea sipping, laughing, and connecting with fellow creative souls.

📍The Vintage Society | Kalona, Iowa
Just a short drive from Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Washington, Riverside, and surrounding Eastern Iowa communities.

Come antique shopping.
Come make something pretty.
Come find your tribe.

Because the cool kids are crafting now. ✨🎨☕🩷

Does anyone else have this dilemma? 🤔🤔 I have been doing some creative hat painting this Friday 💗 come in and sign up for one of our art classes tomorrow from 10:30-4 --- I promise I will get different cups for paint and teacups for our tea 🤣

✨ SUNDAY SHELFIE | ✨One of the things that makes our little pink antique store in Kalona, Iowa, different from so many others is that 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.
A vintage teacup that reminds you of Sunday afternoons at Grandma's. A painting that feels like it belongs in the home you've always dreamed of. A forgotten treasure that takes you right back to a moment you thought you'd forgotten.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞. 𝐈𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

My incredible vendors pour so much heart and creativity into every shelf, carefully curating collections that give these treasures a chance to be seen, loved, and brought into someone's life all over again.

And my favorite part? The same item can mean something completely different to every person who walks through our doors. One shopper sees a beautiful old vase. Another sees their childhood kitchen. Someone else sees the beginning of a brand-new collection.

Every story matters. And maybe the next one belongs to you. 🥹

So this Sunday Shelfie is an invitation to slow down, wander upstairs into our ballroom, and really LOOK. You never know which piece of the past might feel like it was waiting just for you.

If you're searching for a unique Iowa antique store outside Iowa City or Cedar Rapids, come visit our pink gem in downtown Kalona. Discover thoughtfully curated vintage finds, antique treasures, one-of-a-kind collections, and a little inspiration around every corner.

Come for the antiques. Stay for the stories. Leave with a piece of the past that's ready to become part of your future. 💕
