Thea’s Vintage Living

This little shop in the Pearl makes my head spin because there is just such a variety of cool and unique things within.
You can find fancy-​pants china and tea sets, highfalutin crystal Highball sets, fine silver utensils and the like. There are many home décor items from one-​of-​a-​kind paintings, vases, magnificent mirrors, and lovely pieces of furniture.
If jewelry is your jam, they’ve got that too. They’ve piles of pearls and locally made jewelry from the super sparkly crystal items to more understated pieces. I have mixed feelings about fur because of the cruelty of the industry but I appreciate vintage furs and they have a few fabulous and reasonably priced pieces that tempt me.
The folks working here are super nice. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, pop in and take a look around. I bet you will dig this shop as much as I do.

An adorable little shop where you can find décor items, antiques, a few newer art pieces and locally made jewelry. A great place to browse and their customer service is 2^nd to none!

This review is for a mail order. I happen upon Thea’s website while looking for a sewing gift. I found a great gift and proceeded to ask a question, wow I had a response in a few hours. Once we worked out the details I place my ordered that afternoon and had it in Dallas Tx in a few day. The whole order was perfect the item had a bow and no price tags or tag glue. All I had to do was drop it in bag and take the credit. :) But I didn’t I gave the kudos to Thea’s.

Thea’s vintage is just okay. One of the problems I had with the store was the lack of practical vintage items. It was all just fluffy extra stuff that you fill your home with.

Great little shop with excellent customer service. Great to wander around if you don’t have something specific in mind, but if you do, make sure to ask an employee. They know where the good stuff is.
I stopped by last weekend looking for a wedding gift and walked away with some vintage tea/​coffee spoons with a great box. Wouldn’t have found them without the employee’s help!

I’d really like to like this store but with the prices they have I just can’t. They had some cool things but they were at least twice retail price in any other market. I don’t mind paying for cool stuff but I’m not going to overpay just because it’s displayed nicely. Also had the same experience with not being greeted, weird maybe a Portland thing?

Blown away by the price mark up. I was in shock everything I saw basically was about a mortgage or car payment. This is not for people who want to «treasure hunt «for their antiques its for those who think that the higher the prices the better the quality. If you don’t care about spending money then your ok. But for the average person in this economy that doesn’t want to sell a kidney and their first born I say stay away not a good buy on anything.

Very cheerful and friendly little shop in a busy commercial district.
This is primarily an antique store, judging by 99% of the stock, but the focus is entirely on ready-​to-​display items that will work with a wide variety of décor. Still, it never felt trendy, and never felt like it was selling a bunch of junk just to dupe the unsuspecting. The pieces seem like stuff you can appreciate just based on the style, or, in many cases, because you know and love the period of the piece, whether it’s antique or just vintage.
My mom and my sister both found stuff for their places here, and I probably could have if I ever bought any more stuff for my house. There’s a lot of cool stuff here – decorations, furniture, glassware, barware, light fixtures. There wasn’t too much mid-​century stuff, though there were a few pieces from that era and they were nice. Most of the stuff was older than that, or at least had been «upcycled» (sorry) from an older piece.
Of course, stock at a place like this changes all the time. I can’t say this is the kind of place that will offer you a deep bargain, but you’ll find finished pieces ready to display or use. You can finish decorating a room with that one last thing you needed, and you could certainly find a worthy gift here. Antique stores usually bug me because of the prices, but it’s hard not to appreciate the thought that went into the merchandising here.

oh goody — a vintage & antique store that doesn’t have a musty smell nor an overwhelming feeling of having to sort through piles & piles of junk to get to one tiny treasure…
everything in this store is a treasure — you can tell that everything has been chosen because of its condition & appeal. that being said, the price tags always seemed to have one too many zeros than i care for, but, the inspiring styling + the quaintness of this shop will keep me coming back for more.

Been in a couple times. Great items and displayed nicely but a bit overpriced. Each time I’ve gone in I’ve been basically ignored-​not even greeted. And it’s a small store so it felt pretty awkward and unwelcoming.
All it takes is a «hello, how are you?», «goodbye, thanks». SOMEthing!

Vintagelicious. Say it with me.
Wonderful lilttle haunt of a place. You can feel the history off of some of the items around you.
The shop has a lot of old jewelry from many eras gone by. There are also items to decorate your house with, including furnishings, knicky knacks, art pieces.
I felt a presence following me around, daring me to pick up certain pieces, egging me to purchase one of their memories…

I always find myself at Thea’s every time I visit the pearl, I enjoy her Neo classical décor and always find myself leaving with a special find for myself or as a special gift. Her jewelry collection is fantastic and I enjoy the fact that she carries local designers. This shop is a must see and always a fun and unique Portland experience !

Love this wee treasure close to the water.
I was in Portland this weekend, and popped into this lovely shop. I love the décor and merchandise. Great little accent pieces for the home, killer old vintage and deco jewelry. Also very unique necklaces made by a local designers. They were of the statement family per say. As you would only rock that necklace w/​a solid outfit. In my mind all the prices were very reasonable, yet coming from SF I may have a off idea of what inexpensive is;) I would for sure come back, as I picked up some snappy hair bobbles and have already received compliments!!!
Yes yes yes to Thea’s and BTW, I met Thea and she could not have been nicer, so one does appreciate supporting local commerce!
