Vintage shopping doesn't have to be about picking over church lady dresses and stained bras at the Salvation Army. Part thrift-store wonderland and part art gallery for local crafters, the Curiosity Shoppe celebrated its grand opening on March 18. Curious shoppers will be in a question-mark whirl as they ponder the chair made with bike chains, wonder where to stick the Brainwash quote labels and try to figure out whether those vintage heels are their size. They might even be tempted to open the colorful, magnet-covered fridge in the kitchen display or peek inside the antique trunks. That's all part of the fun.
