Burlington Vintage & Co.

09/05/2026

It’s a hot one today, so I’d like to remind you that Downtown Burlington is basically one giant air-conditioning crawl. 😂

Walk into a shop. Ahhhh.
Walk half a block. Regret leaving.
Walk into the next shop. Ahhhh again.

Repeat as necessary while looking at cool stuff and supporting small businesses. 😉 There’s not much else a day like today is good for anyway.

I’m spending my time in the AC updating a few of our more popular Burlington designs and getting some new totes printed, including these two local classics.

And this is just the beginning. The Burlington souvenir section is getting a major restock this week with posters, prints, postcards, tote bags, ornaments, and all kinds of locally made Burlington goodies.

So come downtown, enjoy several brief and glorious blasts of air conditioning, and see what everybody’s been up to. ☀️😂

We are open today until 2 or so to welcome in the Viking passengers! It's worth driving to the riverfront just to see the ship, but getting the chance to talk to the passengers is so fun too, they're from all over the world and have such wonderful things to say about our beautiful little town.

A little glow-up for the jewelry case. 💚

Uranium glass isn’t only a vintage thing! While the amber beads at the top date to the 1960s, some of these pieces are made with modern uranium glass, including the loose gems and rings.

And for anyone new to uranium glass, it doesn’t sit around glowing radioactive green all day. The uranium in the glass fluoresces under UV/black light, which is what gives it that ridiculously bright neon glow. Under regular lighting, most pieces look like ordinary glass.

I now have 18x13mm uranium glass gems for whatever weird little project you’ve been dreaming up, plus uranium glass rings in sizes 6.5 through 12.5.

Basically, if your jewelry collection could use a little more atomic energy, I’ve got you. ☢️

Antiques, oddities, and just enough sparkle to distract you from the train sounds downstairs.

We have cameras.

We have alarms.

And apparently…

…we have overnight security. 👻

A local group of filmmakers recently turned Burlington Vintage & Co. into the setting for a horror short, and the full film is now on YouTube!

I’ll put the link in the comments. Go give it a watch, give them some views, and leave them some love. We have some seriously creative people doing cool things right here in Burlington.

Trailer made by me, so please don’t judge the film quality by my CapCut skills. The real thing looks much better. 😂

If dull people live in clean houses, every woman I know with a craft room is absolutely riveting.

Have you been looking for angry fire hydrant salt and pepper shakers?

Of course you have.

And luckily for you, these two have been standing here absolutely furious about something.

We also have judgmental bears, suspicious birds, smug penguins, and whatever emotional situation is happening with those little yellow birds.

Basically, all of your seasoning needs can now be met by tiny ceramic creatures with complicated personalities.

Also, don’t forget, it’s Jefferson Street Farmers Market Day! Come downtown, wander the market, and then stop in and buy something completely unnecessary. 🙂

Open today until 3 or so! 🎃

Halloween has officially begun creeping its way into the shop, and I am absolutely ready for it.

These wonderfully weird Halloween pieces are handmade by local artist Geri Lloyd, and no two are ever exactly alike. Each one has its own face, personality, and, apparently, strong opinions about whatever is happening in the shop.

Come pick your favorite before someone else decides they have the same taste in tiny ceramic pumpkin people that you do. 👻

The kids are back in school, which means the shop will be open more hours again!

However, those hours may be a little sporadic. This job comes with a surprising number of side quests, usually involving basements, barns, and trips down dead end roads. 😂 I’ll do my best to keep this page updated on the days I’m opening up.

Speaking of back to school, you’ve probably already bought all the necessary stuff, but there’s always room for a few fun things. Burnbox Studios has the cutest assortment of engraved pencils and pens, awesome journals, and little pieces of decor that are perfect for making your kid’s school day a bit more special. Because regular pencils work just fine, but a pencil that says “You are loved” is better. 🙂

We have SO many fun things brewing at the shop and around downtown over the next few months. I’ll be working overtime to get my parts done, but I think you’re going to love what’s coming. Stay tuned!

And if you’d like to do a little Burlington shopping but aren’t in Burlington, we have lots of locally made and Burlington-themed goodies available on our website too!

I try not to pick favorites in the shop. But…this is my favorite item in the shop right now.

It makes me smile every single time I look at it.

Because pigs? As a lamp?

Brilliant. No notes. 🐷

This is where my To Do list starts today! I’ve got a whole lot of glass to clean. 😬

All but one of these cabinets has glass shelves, so if you have a collection that desperately needs its own fancy little house (I’m looking at you, uranium collectors), now is your window of opportunity. Grab one somewhere between the “Chelsea cleans 47 square miles of glass” phase and the “Chelsea fills every available surface with merchandise” phase.

Because once I start filling them, we all know how this ends. 😂
