Stopped in Tinsel Trading on a recent visit to the area, this small retail "crafters" store has all kinds of great vintage trims, ribbons, embellishments, knick knacks, what nots and do dads most from the 1940s and earlier.
This vintage crafter shop was originally opened in NYC in the early 1930s and recently relocated its one and only location the the Bay Area and more specifically Berkeley in the last year.
On my visit I found vintage embellishments from the late 1800s not cheap but reasonably priced for what they are. Antique floral pieces and components take up one whole wall in the store. Lots of unique small items of both vintage and contemporary items (you have to watch closely as some pieces are new mass market junk) with prices reflecting the difference.
If you're looking for vintage or just unique this shop is worth a look and visit. You can also find them online and they will ship to you if you live at a distance.
4 Stars - a very cool vintage accessories crafts shop & worth a visit
