Florence, Oregonis an excellent destination for coastal antiques and vintage thrifting. The treasure hunting begins along Highway 101 where a collection of vintage shops comprise an informal gateway to "Florence's Antique District". Many more vintage shops are tucked on side streets throughout Historic Old Town Florence. Expect to find glass floats and mari-time objects among collections of glassware, jewelry, tools, toys, vintage clothing and antique furniture. An exciting twist on Florence's antique scene are art galleries where some local artists have cleverly re-purposed commonly discarded items, transforming them into spectacular works of art. Below are some thrifting highlights. 

Blue Dolphin Antiques

Right on Highway 101 in Florence, Blue Dolphin Antiques has a beachy feel, yet with twenty antique vendors, there is an array of all styles of vintage and one-of-a-kind items. From crystal to anchors, from jewelry to seashells, browse an everchanging display of antiques.

H2O Florence 

Also along the main highway through Florence, this charming "ocean to home" gift boutique stocks all kinds of vintage finds from vinyl to artful clothing, and new boutique items too. H2O Florence is a fun find for shopping!
