This shop was one of my favorite stops on Cherokee Street. I got the feeling that a lot of the…read morethings I admired were not for sale because they didn't have prices on them, but it was great to just walk through and see things. It was like walking through an awesome quirky museum of americana, but keep in mind that I love old signs. Definitely check out the outdoor area, which has a neat little bridge and is filled with trinkets, statues and cool signs, including a few hotel/motel signs. Yeah, I would live there.

The Purple Cow is my favorite because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason for what's in the shop, but the randomness makes sense once you're in there! A few of the Purple Cow's specialties include: - A huge collection of vintage postcards, kept in old library card catalog drawers. I love to sift through them and see what vacation spots used to look like. And it's fun to read the used ones...see what kinds of messages people used to send to loved ones back in the day. - Antique hardware. If you're in the market for hooks, pulls or doorknobs, this might be the place for you. They usually don't come in sets, so if you like an eclectic aesthetic, that's a perfect place to purchase items for your house. - Signs. There's a huge, neon parrot sign that I inquired about. It's not for sale, but most of the signs are. There's old street signs, signs advertising products and a random arrow that directs people to the restroom. - There's also a large bookshelf of sports memorabilia near the register. Personally, sports anything doesn't pique my interest. But my boyfriend, who's an avid baseball card collector, said that the collection was pretty interesting. On my first visit, I purchased a framed "paint by numbers" of a ship at sea for our new apartment. It cost $5 and hangs on the wall next to a framed President Garfield on our entry room wall. If that gives you any indication of what kinds of antiques I'm into, then you'll understand why I love the Purple Cow.

Van and My daughter talked and gabbed moreso about their mutual interests than clothing LOL I saw so many precious items there that I remember seeing in my grandmother's and mom's closets.

I didn't go downstairs but there's more to see there.

Full disclosure: I haven't yet visited the Your Friend's Apartment storefront on Cherokee Street…read more(I'll update the review when I do), but I spent so much time lingering at their booth at their Vintage Market event this past weekend that I can't imagine the joys of experiencing an entire shop dedicated to their aesthetic. That being said, my current review is solely for their clothing selection and the event! I'm not an expert on the vintage curation process, so perhaps I'm biased with my five-star review in that I loved their selection. The European sophistication/sharp business casual/minimalist aesthetic is completely my style, and I had a hard time refraining from purchasing a brand new trench coat, tailored blazer, or wide-leg trousers. I feel like this is a gem in St. Louis, because from my experiences vintage shopping here, it's hard to find stores that aren't catered to the quirky/retro/Y2k aesthetic; this store is for shoppers who prefer to keep it simple and classy, but appreciate adding their own touch. As far as the event goes, I thoroughly enjoyed the DJ and open cocktail/mocktail bar concept. It was so great to get exposure to other great vintage shops in the area!

I live right around the corner in McKinley Heights and always drive/walk by this place, but it sometimes looks a little mayhem. What do I do when places look mayhem? I buy online. I started following them and one day while sitting on my plane wi-fi, I noticed the blurry shots of a gawgeous milk glass shelf, walnut sideboard and hutch. In my horrible connection, I typed "#sold". Then, I was asked if I wanted the matching piece for a little discount. There I went again - "#sold". They will send an invoice and you can pay online then pick it up on a Saturday or Sunday 12-5. Pick up can be a little hard to understand because you have to find The Unlabeled Guy (whoever that is) and find your piece. We were able to back the truck up the sidewalk to pick it up once I found The Guy and he confirmed my invoice. The inside is chaotic, with pieces of furniture everywhere. I think they list their nicest pieces online then keep them in the front room until pick up, so I'm guessing their nicer stuff is in the front. Basically everything they have is priced cheaper than any antique store or online seller, with the only exception being maybe an auction. I suggest following them on Instagram and checking it daily, with your #sold fingers ready to go. The good stuff goes quick. I bought another item just last night. IT'S SO EASY. TOO EASY. The peacock wall piece? Yeah, that was me.

I usually buy smaller pieces here, including old photos (nerd that I am, I look through the ones that have legible names on the back and find descendants of those depicted). They offer a sizeable discount if you pay in cash. No mask requirement, but vaccines have been available for quite some time and the place is big enough to space yourself many feet from the nearest person.

The selection is vast and diverse (THREE floors), with something for every taste and budget. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they go out of their way to ensure you find exactly what you're looking for. The prices are more than fair, and the quality is outstanding. I highly recommend Elders to anyone in the market for high-end antiques at reasonable prices.

They have such a beautiful shop with great plant/flower options. They were running low on bouquets but we found a bouquet. They also had a bouquet making bar so that would've been a great back-up. We loved how helpful and kind the staff was and their selection. I'm sure on a less busy day they would have had so much more pout but we were grateful to have snagged a beautiful bouquet. A bit on the pricier side but worth it in my opinion.
