Blackbird Singing
Tin letters that light up, whimsical circus cutouts and a table-full of tarnished silver trophy cups— Blackbird Vintage Finds is a mini marché aux puces in the heart of the Distillery District.
Owner Paula DiRenzo hunts far and wide for unique treasures like the handmade ferris wheel ($325) we couldn’t resist snapping up. Also on our wish list are some pressed glass goblets, ($12.95) ideal for two or three dollops of ice cream.
A smattering of candles, cards and pretty jeweled accessories make this a perfect little gift shop for the hostess, soon-to-be-marrieds, or indeed, you. —AT
