From vintage finds to repurposed gems, these local shops prove that everything old can be new again. In the 2024 TribLIVE Best of the Best Community Choice Awards, readers cast their votes for the most beloved antique and resale destinations.

Taking home Gold is Lil Birdy’s Antiques & Decor in Butler. Known for its charming mix of curated antiques, rustic décor, and one-of-a-kind treasures, Lil Birdy’s offers a nostalgic shopping experience that’s equal parts cozy and inspiring. Whether you’re redecorating or just browsing, it’s a local favorite for vintage flair.

Silver goes to Second Harvest Community Thrift Store in Sharpsburg. More than just a resale store, Second Harvest is a nonprofit with a mission. They offer affordable finds while supporting community programs. Their well-organized space and ever-changing selection make each visit feel like a treasure hunt with heart.

Bronze honors AKVHS Flea Tique in Tarentum. Hosted by the Alle-Kiski Valley Historical Society, this seasonal flea market is packed with antiques, collectibles, and unexpected finds. It’s a haven for thrifters, collectors, and anyone who loves a little history in their home.
