Last summer I wrote about a cute coastal town in Michigan called South Haven. It's situated on Lake Michigan and is chock full of unique, eclectic and vintage shopping spots. I haven't gotten back there this summer but we did just visit another coastal town a bit farther south called New Buffalo.
While there, my daughters and I literally stumbled upon a really neat thrift store called Cece's Wares & Wears. It's very new, and it's situated in a well-hidden courtyard at the end of an alley on North Whittaker Street.
Initially, you're greeted by this fine gentleman.
And a very unassuming sign.
Then you walk down an alley of sorts to a lovely courtyard just outside the store.
Even the sign on the building was unique-junky!
And the courtyard was full of old containers that were brimming with greenery.
There were also a few seating areas outside where you could take a load off.
The store is actually spread out between two buildings. The first building we visited was filled with clothing and some small home decor pieces and jewelry. Sorry, but I didn't get any pictures of that one.
The second building was filled with great vintage finds.
I've always wanted a tripod lamp just like this one.
And what's not to love about this retro pleather naugahyde ottoman?
This swivel bar stool was ripe for the taking. I can picture it with a new upholstery job. Maybe grainsack?
Red, white and blue prevailed in this cute summer vignette.
I fell in love with these plates.
I could picture these silver/pewter bowls filled with flowers.
And this chair reminded me of one we had when I was a kid. I wish we had kept it! Look at the legs and nailhead trim.
I was thrilled to have stumbled upon all that thrifty goodness. I'm planning on going back for sure the next time I'm in town.
What's that?
Did I BUY anything?
Smirk.
I guess that's a story that will have to wait until next time.

Hello Kathleen! I am visiting from Betsy's My Salvaged Treasure and so happy to find your blog. Loved readying this post!
What a fun place, I can see why you want to go back. I love that junky sign and all the planted containers.
Looks like a fun place! I love all the unusual planters! I'm trying to guess what you would have bought! I can't wait to see.
