This weeks LocalĀ Spotlight
We are starting something new. As bargain shoppers and local Utah gals, we thought it would be fun to start featuring some of our favorite local shops. You know, the secret little stores that only the locals know about. We hope you like this idea, please give us the thumbs up if you do.
Tucked away in East Millcreak there is a local shop that has something for everyone inside.Ā The Old Flamingo is a vintage store located onĀ 3474 S 2300 E in East Millcreek. It that is run by aĀ coop of 14 vintage eco- friendly minded artists. Each artist displays their abilities to transform their unique finds into one of a kind pieces for your home.
Take a look at the beautiful and unique pieces we found
It is so much fun to mill the isles, there is something for everyone in this little shop.Ā Whether it's a custom painted vintage furniture piece or, the a finishing touch piece for a difficult spot, you will find a one of a kind unique treasure at this shop.
Plus, they make it easy, Ā if you find a piece that has the bones you love, but you want a different color or paint finish, they will change it for you. You would think all this would come at a high price right? Ā Think again, their pieces are priced for all bargain hunters. Seriously, you must stop in and see for yourself, no coupons needed.
If you are looking for a solution to a problem spot in your home, you will find it at The Old Flamingo, if you donāt, I bet one of the artist will make it for you. Check out the piece a friend of mine had them do for her home. The Old Flamingo customized the above pictured hutch to the finish of their liking and put a special hole that lines up right with the mail slot in the house. It's hard to tell with the lighting, but on the top of the hutch they painted the word “Mailbox” in French and have dubbed it Utah's largest mailbox. What a clever solution!
Put this fun store on your list next time you are on the hunt for some eclectic treasures. Tell them Coupons4Utah sent you. Have you been to The Old Flamingo? What did you find?

February 2, 2013 at 10:12 pmI love the idea of highlighting local shops. The restaurant right next door to the Flamingo is fantastic. There are a lot of art studios in the adjacent buildings, they have a lot of mega art shows.
