Photos: First Tennessee Pavilion hosts Vintage Market Days

Debby Weaver and her 8-year-old granddaughter Cosie Weaver look through items at the Retro Rosa booth Sunday, April 8, 2018 during Vintage Market Days event at the First Tennessee Pavilion in Chattanooga, Tenn. Cosie said her favorite items she had seen so far were a watch with the Eiffle Tower on it and a flower sifter. The two thought it was fun to see so many things that their parents or grandparents owned or still own at the event.

Vintage Market Days brought about 100 vendors to the First Tennessee Pavilion this weekend, April 6-8.

Items for sale included shabby-chic designs, jewelry, clothing, upcycled and repurposed items, antiques, outdoor furnishings and gardening items.

"Vintage Market Days started eight years ago in Tulsa, Okla., the brainchild of two schoolteachers," says Earl Fields, organizer of this weekend's show. "They cultivated relationships with dealers and built a data base of vendors. Once a vendor has applied and been accepted, they have access to all our events. We've also gone to shows and sought out vendors, some come find us and some start as visitors to the market then become vendors.
