Antique, Vintage, Retro, Old Stuff – Shopping at Mad Hatter Antique Mall

2020: Still one of my fave destinations!

Original 2011 Post:

A break from the food posts for a moment to bring you some cheery colorful vintage collectibles from our recent fun to the Mad Hatter Antique Mall in Adamstown, PA. We got some great stuff and looking at these photos makes me want to go back there again soon!

Love these  crazy spaghetti lamps! Wish we had a ceiling high enough to hang one on without bonking our heads on it.

Love the logos from old magazines on this trash can / waste basket. It was a bit pricey but if I did get it I'd put magazines in it for sure, no trash!

I could spend all day looking at vintage postcards- they are total road trip inspiration! (Don't forget, if you're in the Boston area you can check out a show at the Boston Public Library of their classic postcards - it's been extended to April 30th!)

Here's a vinyl travel case from one of my favorite "teen themed" vintage brands - Ponytail. Again, I'd love to add this to my collection! I think my pal Fuzzy Lizzie " The Vintage Traveler" would too, so this photo goes out to her.

Speaking of items that might appeal to online vintage-loving pals - I think Pam Keuber from RetroRenovation would be able to find a good home for this Del Val vintage lighting fixture. Looks like it would fit in one of her pink bathrooms!
(I have the cannister set that matches that bread box - my grandmother had the yellow version.and hey! There's Ponytail again!)

Who can resist the cheery colors of vintage Pyrex? Not me! Such a pick-me-up on a dreary rainy day.

We ran into Chris - the Smilin' Gal behind some of the great vintage clothes for sale at the Mad Hatter.

(You may remember Chris from my visit to Mommalicious in Lancaster, glad to see her around!)

And finally, actual vintage, old retro road maps!

There are a bunch more photos of the fun and colorful stuff we saw here on the RetroRoadmap Flickr Page. Hopefully they've convinced you that Mad Hatter is worth the stop - (and it's just inches away from Boehringer's Ice Cream and Sandwiches!)
