📣 CALLING ALL 80s BABIES! 📣

WHO remembers these?! 🙋‍♀️🍟

If you grew up in the 80s, chances are you remember these making their appearance in the 90s! 🍔❤️🍟

We’ve got a little piece of 90s McDonald’s nostalgia waiting for you at The Private Collection!

Come grab a piece of your childhood before somebody else remembers it first. 😂

Because apparently we’re old enough now to collect the things we used to get with our Happy Meals. 🥹🤣

🚨 GRANDMA’S STUFF IS HAVING A NIGHT OUT 🚨

Downtown Live is TOMORROW, and if you’ve ever walked into Grandma’s house and thought:

“Why does she have 47 milk glass dishes?”

“Who needs this many serving platters?”

“Is that a candy dish… or an ashtray?”

“Why is there a tiny porcelain person staring at me?” 😂

WE’VE GOT YOU.

Come wander through The Private Collection tomorrow night and shop all the vintage, antique, quirky, beautiful, weird, and downright unnecessary things Grandma left behind. 😂

A Little Front Porch Social Update

Due to the recent decline in customers downtown, I have made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming Front Porch Social.

We will still be open for Downtown Live and would absolutely love to see you! Come by, shop a little, visit a while, and help support the small businesses that are continuing to show up and chase their dreams. 🫶

We truly hope things turn around soon. Our hope is to bring the Front Porch Socials back in the future when the time is right. We love getting to open our doors, gather together, and create a little bit of that grandma’s house feeling right here downtown. 🏡💕

Thank you to everyone who continues to support The Private Collection. Every visit, purchase, share, and kind word means more than you know!
