A good example is A Rare Bird Antiques which is located at 3016 West 50th Street in southwest Minneapolis. It&#8217;s one in a cluster of vintage shops at the corner of 50th Street and Xerxes Avenue South which has been drawing shoppers for years with high quality goods beautifully displayed. A Rare Bird is one of the newer shops, but owner Kelly Wallace isn&#8217;t new to vintage sales. She has been selling beautiful pieces of European furniture and art at several other shops around the metro for awhile and has a good eye for interesting pieces of various styles. Aside from lovely handcrafted items (made with vintage paper), everything in the shop has a history. Even the garden furniture and urns are authentically vintage. Inventory changes often making frequent visits a pleasure. Shop hours are 11 to 5 daily except Tuesdays. Happy saling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend provides a rare opportunity to visit shops that we don&#8217;t often write about: local antique shops which are open more days than they&#8217;re closed.
