Vintage funky, retro, rustic, shabby chic at The Vintage Barn in Carthage North Carolina

CARTHAGE, N.C. - Oct. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- Style has been undergoing a continuous revolution since it became a thing and The Vintage Barn, located in Central North Carolina - Town of Carthage, is a surefire representation of a renaissance in elegance! The Vintage Barn features an extremely unique array of antique, funky, retro, rustic and vintage albums, artwork, books, boudoir items (beads, bustier, faux fur, garters, robes, nightgowns, silks, tulle, wedding dresses, etc.), cards, collectibles, costumes, cowboy boots, dreamcatchers, furnishings, hats, kitchen wares, jewelry (magnificent selection), period clothing, personality memorabilia (Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, etc.) masks, instruments, rustic boots, wall-hangings, woodworking as well as "original" attention-grabbing artworks. This go-to location for Central North Carolina travellers (especially when visiting Pinehurst, Southern Pines and surrounding golf communities) is a hidden gem. If you don't visit - you are missing an experience in coolness.

Owned, and operated, by Ms. Ann Turner, The Vintage Barn is a small woman-owned business and, as such, deserves a tribute for its resilience in maintaining a visage, which easily could be beamed to Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City,  or Paris (etc.) as a cat's meow destination for opulence that disavows designer labels (unless they are previously owned of course). Ann demonstrates her visionary art and theater senses, through interior interpretations her guests come back for time and again. Because once bitten, she'll be the first to say, customers maintain a strong repeat performance. And, if not for the wares, they return for the lady herself because Ann is as eclectic as the items she represents! Most definitely, guests love the advent of occasion at The Vintage Barn that usurps the ideal of routine shopping excursions "and" often at cost savings too boot.

During the Month of October, when everyone is searching for Halloween getups, The Vintage Barn is a definite "must visit" destination. Ms. Turner's costumes are hand-picked from venues up and down the seaboard. These delightful "previously owned and celebrated" collections are pieced together to create one-of-a-kind results.. Ann is also very personable . . .  she often shares . . . "I don't price per product – I bundle. Pick the items you like, and I'll price it affordably for you." The novel regalia, and décor to choose from, is exhaustive at The Vintage Barn. And, the store is expertly laid out and designed, it is like a museum tour - guests do get lost for some time while visiting. So . . . don't be surprised if The Vintage Barn sells out of Halloween goodies early; if it does there's "other" holidays but you don't need a holiday to visit. The Vintage Barn is a great experience every, and any, day.

If you aren't already an aficionado or collector, here's a quick lesson on the differences between 1) antiques (rule of thumb 100 years or older), 2) retro (1940's and 1950's), and 3) vintage (not antique and not retro – usually older than twenty years). While vintage is often used as a "catch-all-phrase" for antique, collectible, pop, previously owned, retro and vintage collections – it is really its own blend of sumptuousness.

The Vintage Barn is registered with the State of North Carolina Film Office as a filming location and a venue for props.
