Thrill of the Hunt, located at 3122 Battleground Avenue, is a fabulous vintage collectibles store. Here, you can find mid-twentieth century furniture– chic, shabby chic, a little retro and, other great vintage items, including TONS of unique, vintage jewelry. Proprietor Carol P. left corporate life several years ago and hasn’t looked back. She loves owning her own business and spending time around  people who appreciate collectibles with provenance! The above photo is just a tiny slice of the wonderful items in her shop.

Thrill of the Hunt offers furniture painting classes, interior design services, occasional outdoor flea markets, and, just recently, has ventured into etsy with a new line of one-of-a-kind upcycled, vintage jewelry. Fellow blogger, tomboyaroundtown, also sings Carol’s praises. What do you collect? Where is the best area to find antique stores in your town?  Mr. and Mrs. GDP would love head your way on a shopping spree/photo shoot! 

Addendum: As of 2011, The Thrill of the Hunt has been reinvented as a jewelry-only place called Preen. Carol said vintage and repurposed jewelry became the majority of her sales.
