SUMMARY:The MushRoom Joins National Vintage Store Day
DESCRIPTION:The MushRoom Joins the Inaugural\n\nVINTAGE STORE DAY\n\nSaturday\, May 17\, 2025\n\n \n\nNearly 600 Stores Participating!\n\n \n\nWesterly\, RI (4/19/25)   The MushRoom   Antique\, Vintage\, Etc \, 49 Beach St.\, Westerly\, RI\, is thrilled to join the first-ever Vintage Store Day on Saturday\, May 17\, 2025 from 10 am   6 pm. This international movement celebrating independent vintage retailers across the U.S. currently features nearly 600 stores in 42 states\, plus the District of Columbia and four Canadian provinces. Like Record Store Day and Stationary Store Day\, Vintage Store Day provides an opportunity for local\, brick and mortar businesses to lift up these beloved specialty stores\, boost sales and celebrate their communities. Vintage Store Day is founded by Chicago-based Lost Girls and Rare Form. For a complete list of participating stores\, or to sign-up your business\, visit shoprareform.com/vsd.\n\n \n\nVintage Store Day co-founder and Rare Form owner Emma Lewis comments\, "This has been a real grassroots effort to unite vintage stores across the country. Vintage encompasses a lot\, including clothing\, home decor\, and art   but most of all an appreciation for reuse\, upcycling and preservation. During the pandemic\, when the supply chains shut down and no one could buy furniture from the big box stores\, many turned to buying vintage from their communities and in doing so kept that money in their local economy. While the circumstances are different now\, the benefits are still the same: we can preserve and appreciate the past while supporting our local economy and our neighborhood businesses. I believe people are championing these values now more than ever and that's why we have a thriving vintage community\, which deserves a day of celebration."  \n\n \n\nAbout The MushRoom: \n\n Just after the closing of two of Westerly's local and long-standing antique stores\, The MushRoom has sprouted at 49 Beach St. to offer a curated selection of antique\, vintage and unique housewares and decor. Owner/curator Erin Buck strives to acquire pieces to suit every style and is more than happy to share her stories and enthusiasm for all things old and treasured. Are you obsessed with MCM? Cottage to the core? Like your chic shabby? Whatever your vibe\, The MushRoom is your go-to for treasures galore and thoughtful\, sustainable gifting! Stop by and take a trip back in time with us.
