Vintage Pop Up Shop
Written by Maureen Dahill
Once upon a time, a long time ago (the late 90's to be exact), I opened a cute, little vintage shop on the corner of G and East Broadway called Maude Mango. It was a vintage clothing boutique featuring clothing and accessories from the 1920's to the 1980's. Not to toot my own horn, but it won the coveted Boston Magazine's Best of Boston Award in 2000 for Best Vintage Clothing Shop in Boston. Yay, me!
So with that in mind, I am more than excited to tell you about the Vintage Pop Up Shop that's happening as part of the South Boston Holiday Stroll on Friday, December , 9th from 4pm-8pm.
The Vintage Pop-Up Shop is being hosted by:
Mass Bay Credit Union
147 West Fourth Street with plenty of free parking!!
Who's gonna be there?
Kennedy Homes will be bringing her collection of vintage clothing and accessories. Kennedy is one of those people that no matter what she has on she has the ability to make it look amazing. Her sense of style is inspirational! Here is a link to her blog so you can get a feel of what she'll be bringing:http://www.kennedyholmes.blogspot.com/ And yes, that's her modeling the clothing on her blog! She's gorgeous and her prices are more than reasonable if not cheap!
Chrissy Beale is a ball of energy! Just being in her presence immediately gets you fired up! Her visual eye is second to none - she works for Mad Props (http://www.madpropsboston.com/) - a visual prop rental house for photography and the film industry. Chrissy will be featuring her hand picked selection of clothing, accessories and home goods. You will not be disappointed!
Stop by the Vintage Pop Up on Friday - you'll find amazing and unique gifts that will impress everyone on your list. But if you're anything like me, you'll end up buying things for yourself!
I'll be there along with the many, many vintage-savvy fashionistas in the area! Get there early to get the good stuff!

Maude Mango was indeed one of the best Vintage stores that ever lived in all of Boston!
It was a small space, and therefore selective.
I've been collecting for quite awhile and in my (non humble) opinion, Maude Mango always had the goods.
I don't shop anymore, but I may visit anyway just to look at the "art."
