2024 Vendors Of The Month
July's Vendor of the Month Spotlight: JJ Jenkins
At Vendors on Victory, we are excited to feature JJ, whose collection of antique and vintage treasures brings a unique charm to our marketplace. Dive into her booth and discover the beautiful pieces that have captivated her heart and can transform any space.
Q: Can you share the story behind one particularly special antique or one-of-a-kind item in your collection?
"That's a difficult question to answer because, as a dealer, everything I acquire must resonate with me deeply. Some items do so more than others. Many of us don't choose to become dealers; it chooses us. We often buy so many pieces we love that we need to sell some to avoid storage issues.
One particularly special item in my booth is a Cupid lamp. It was one of the first significant purchases I made at 20 years old. This beautiful and unique lamp has been with me for over 45 years, moving with me from house to house, across different cities, and through three states. As I consider my legacy, I realize it's time to part with such treasures. From my move from Los Angeles to Florida, and then to Savannah, GA, I've gradually downsized my collection, but the Cupid lamp remains a cherished piece."
Q: What do you think makes Vendors on Victory unique as a market?
"Vendors on Victory stands out due to its exceptional selection of antiques, vintage items, and decorative objets d'art. The market offers a diverse range of items, from jewelry and apparel to furniture and art, catering to various tastes and budgets. The quality and variety ensure that there's something for everyone."
Q: What role do community events or partnerships play in showcasing the unique offerings at Vendors on Victory?
"Vendors on Victory excels in engaging the community and supporting local charities through events and partnerships. The owners are dedicated to giving back, with 5% added to every sale to benefit local nonprofits. This approach not only supports important causes but also enhances the market's reputation and community involvement."
Q: What advice would you give to individuals looking to discover hidden gems or unique pieces when exploring Vendors on Victory?
"The inventory at Vendors on Victory changes frequently, often by the hour. For those seeking hidden treasures, regular visits are essential. Each time I restock my booth, I often find new items to purchase myself. The life of a collector or dealer is a continuous cycle of finding and parting with beautiful, unique items. It's a passion that keeps us constantly engaged and excited."
