On Sunday, Oct. 21—a day of worship—two girls found themselves in a blue tent rather than a white chapel when they made a confession: “We’re cheap.” Before this revelation, they geared up in their favorite secondhand snags and went on their way to find the best bang for their buck.

The Globeville neighborhood held a free service where everyone was welcome, from trendy millennials to eccentric baby boomers.

A hidden gem within this neighborhood, the Fort Greene Bar, housed 27 Denver area mobile and online based, independent vintage shops. It was a makeshift mini-mall that sold only the best of the best.

Unfortunately, authentic vintage pieces are not always cheap, but vintage shops do make it convenient to find items when you have less time and more money. If money isn’t an issue, you can feel good about spicing up your wardrobe while supporting small business owners. On the other hand, if you are a frugal finder, there are always bins of five dollar or one dollar items where one can find refuge.

The girls basked in the sun that blanketed them in warmth. The light may as well have been rose-colored, because between the thick stitched embroidery framed in wood that you swear use to hang on your grandmother’s wall, and the yellow school bus that now holds old records, nostalgia was around every corner.

The Old School Cool Vintage Market does not have any upcoming events as of now, but you can track their next pop up on Facebook and/or Instagram.
