The heart of Cleveland: Flower Child.

I had a feeling just by the name Flower Child was going to become one of my new favorite stores. Flower Child is located in Lakewood and nestled right next door to Big Fun. A great perk is, unlike most places in the area, there is ample parking in the back.

Flower Child is a two story vintage shop that carries everything from clothing, shoes, accessories, housewares, and even furniture. When you walk in you feel like you are walking into a home full of gems from the past. The top level was cozy, and the lower level was bursting with goodies. I had to contain my excitement, and practically pad lock my wallet to keep myself from buying everything in sight.

Flower Child is a haven for the vintage dresser. The clothing, shoes, and accessories all had tons of character that fast fashion can't touch. You will find most of them in the lower level of the store. It isn't organized by size or color from what I could tell. So allow yourself take more time to shop.

I ended up finding a Kate Spade purse for $15. It is in really good condition aside from a frayed strap. The staff was so warm, and it was a great experience all the way down to the register.

If you are in the Cleveland area go visit Flower Child, and get your vintage itch scratched.

With all my heart,
