Best Vintage store around. Something for Everyone.

by Dano3271

They have 2 stores. There is one also in Columbus on High street. The employees that work there are very likeable people and are willing and able to help you dress up your home or even yourself. Both stores are equally great in the merchandise they carry. Its a must see to appreciate.

• Pros: Both stores are great.
• Cons: parking. Columbus has parking available.

I LOVE THIS STORE!!!!

by mizzlovel

I love this store! I've never seen so many wonderful collectible and vintage items ANYWHERE as I found here. Spacious, LOTS of themed rooms so you can find what you're looking for, and an off-beat owner who loves her job. OTHER VINTAGE SHOPS IN CLEVELAND TAKE NOTE!!! Truly awesome.

• Pros: So many items from the early 1900s on!
• Cons: parking can be bad.

Funky boutique offering furniture, clothing and memorabilia from the '30s to the '70s--and fresh flowers, too.

The Scene

Picture this: a thick, beaded curtain, a vibrant orange couch, 1950s Playboys piled next to an overused vinyl copy of "Saturday Night Fever." You're inside Flower Child, a two-story vintage shop representing nearly every houseware and clothing trend of the 20th century. From the military-esque to the downright gauche, items are displayed with the reverence of museum artifacts.

The Selection

The fabulous selection of vintage pieces includes a hodgepodge of knickknacks, furniture, collectibles, clothes and accessories. The basement is a cross between "Pee Wee's Playhouse" and "The Dating Game." Kaleidoscope-style rooms are filled with disco-print shirts, faux fur, shoes and two-tiered lampshades. While you won't find big designer names, you will find reasonable prices for decent replicas that need a little elbow grease.
