Vintage & Vines is a somewhat new antique shop and flower shop located at 623 Broad Avenue in Belle Vernon. The shop opened in 2013 at 719 Broad and grew into a 14-dealer antique co-op very quickly. The shop's owner, Jean Ann Gallo, relocated the antique shop to 623 Broad Avenue in May of this year and expanded into a “full service” flower shop. This fulfilled her dream of combining an antiques and primitives with gifts and flowers to create a unique shopping experience.
The NEW Vintage & Vines is comprised of eight antique vendors that bring their own individual style to the shop with unique treasures that are merchandised throughout in a pleasant “gift shop” atmosphere. You will find primitive, vintage and antique furniture combined with collectibles, wrought iron, salvage, bottles, boxes and so much more to create a shopping adventure.
Vintage & Vines is locally owned and is very proud to sell artisan and USA-made products. This began at the old location and continues to grow at the new location with homemade soaps, handmade pillows, candles, cards and very special painted furniture pieces. Each month brings a new addition to the family.
The latest venture at Vintage & Vines has proven to be a wise decision by putting a “full service” flower shop back on Broad Avenue. The shop specializes in one-of-a-kind fresh, dried and artificial designs with a vintage flair. Many plants and floral creations are designed in antique and/or primitive containers. All are unique and different. Your special piece can be designed just for you! Custom orders are always welcome and local deliveries are available.
