Like the former shop, this pop-up collection includes small furniture, baskets, picture frames, vases, art, pillows, table linens, textiles, pots, signs, dishes, chic bulletin boards, some seasonal décor, and lots of lamps. Most prices are extremely reasonable with just a few choice pieces marked “firm.” You can enjoy outdoor shopping, but bring your mask in case it gets crowded. Shopping continues until 5 pm today and runs 10 to 5 tomorrow at 6925 Hickory Drive in Fridley. (That’s off the East River Road at 69th – about a mile north of 694 – on a residential street. Watch for the Urban Moon sign). Happy saling!

Urban Moon, a former occasional store on Selby Avenue in St. Paul, is holding a sale this Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, we can bring you photos and a full report on Friday. Hours are 9 to 5 both days at 6925 Hickory Drive in Fridley. Happy saling!

Three LIVE Sales Tonight, May 13th
Three shops are going live tonight on Facebook with virtual sales. Take your pick:
6:00 PM Minnesota Rust in McIntosh, MN
7:00 PM Linda’s Cellar in Chaska, MN
7:00 PM Urban Cottage in South Minneapolis, MN
Take a look at their Facebook pages ahead of time to see some of the items on sale. The rules differ slightly among the shops, but they are similar. During the sales, the first shopper to say “SOLD” in the comments can buy an item. If an item is not bought or paid for during the live sale, it could be available later. Listen to the introduction at each shop to learn how they will run their sale.
The sales are fun to watch and, for now, they’re the best vintage shopping available.
Happy saling!
