I’m sure by now you know I love my vintage finds. I love adding ‘junk’ with new items. It’s original, unique and can be beautiful all on its own or gorgeous after a bit of updating.
I have a few usual places I head to for looking for these vintage finds but I was curious to know what other vintage/antique stores there were in my area.
Way back in the day, everyone would go to their trusty Yellow Pages phonebook. Those seem to be obsolete nowadays.
Did you know there was the Yellow Pages app? It’s free and it’s so easy to use.
Let me show you how I found new stores that I didn’t even know about.
It’s so much fun to score a vintage find. You can’t recreate that rustic look that took years to weather on its own.
You need to search high and low for a cool vintage find.
Searching stores with this app is super easy.
A whole list of antique/vintage shops pop up just like you would find in your Yellow Pages book.
{Yep, love my vintage finds!}
I pretty much know that there aren’t too many antique stores right in my area and my favourites are a little farther away but I didn’t know what other ones were out there.
If you put your finger on the map, you can move it around a little bit to find areas outside of your area too.
Then you just click that redo search button and it gives you a new search list!
That is SO COOL because I only know a few antique stores outside of my area but the list went on and on.
Well, what do you know? I found myself a new antique shop to visit. Actually, a whole bunch I never knew about.
Now I can make a day of it and visit all of them.
You can click through the app to get directions, hours of operation, the phone number and the business website.
You can check out reviews, deals, where to get the cheapest gas and more!
Excuse me while I go shopping to find some more vintage finds!
You can download your free app on iTunes or Android
For more information, go to YP.ca
Yay! I love that you found some new shops to visit! Looks like a great tool for the hunts! 🙂
Thanks Heather!
Ooh I need this! I’ve lived in my area for 6 years now, and I feel like there is still SO much to discover! Thanks for the tip, Jamie!

What?!? I had no idea Yellow Pages was still around. Definitely need this app!
It’s so cool, Sarah, you gotta get it 😉
Hugs,

Wow! I had no idea the Yellow Pages had an app. You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be adding this to my ever-growing app collection because I am still trying to find the best thrift stores here in Orlando and I’ve come up dry….
I didn’t know there was a YP app! Definitely checking this out! I bet it’d be great for travel & vacations as well! Thanks for sharing, Jamie!
