Round Up Cockroach GIF

Sunday greetings!

We are literally on the road this week doing some traveling, so for this week’s issue we are rounding up some of our previous posts in the inaugural Curio Road Roundup!

Summer is winding down but you can still soak up its joys wandering through vintage swimwear and nostalgic concerts. You can also satisfy your sweet tooth, scratch your shopping itch, or discover a new old read.

We’ll be back next week with our Curio of collected finds.

'til then, enjoy!

Your Curio Roadies,
Wendy & Kate

This week’s finds:

  • Attention finders and keepers! The Vintage Roundup in Albany, NY is a quarterly get-together of nostalgic buyers and sellers. It’s one of the largest curated vintage/antique markets where you can savor local food while shopping unique goods from 50+ vendors. Plan to visit the fall roundup in October or the holiday market in December. Buy merch on their website and follow them on Instagram.

    The Vintage Roundup in upstate New York.

  • Next time you’re in Manhattan — Kansas, not New York — check out the other Vintage Round Up. Packed with nostalgia, this locally owned thrift and consignment store offers furniture, decor, novelties, books, cookware, clothing, and more — new, used, and handmade. Follow them on Instagram.

    The Vintage Round Up *NOT* in upstate New York.

  • Lifestyle blogger, Diane, at Vintage Zest challenged fellow sewers to “Refashion the 1960s” and transform an existing garment into a new one that mimicked mid-century style. She later posted her contribution that repurposed a portrait blouse using a ‘60s inspired pattern.

    What’s old is new again!
