Welcome to Vintage Market Days® of Birmingham!

 

I’m Kim, born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama—and there’s truly nowhere else I’d rather be than the South. With a background in accounting, business and event management, and marketing (including time with Chick-fil-A), I’ve always had a heart for small businesses. Today, I’m honored to bring unforgettable Vintage Market Days® events to our community. My love for heirlooms and storytelling runs deep. One of my most treasured pieces is a chippy red swing that once hung on my grandmother's porch. It now swings on mine, holding generations of memories and inspiration.

My VMD journey began as an attendee at an event in Lebanon, TN—and I was instantly hooked. I traveled across the Southeast, meeting kind-hearted vendors and admiring their unique finds. The more I listened to their stories, the more I realized we had a lot in common. Many had once balanced corporate jobs and family life, just like me. I knew then this could bemore than a dream.

With my husband Taylor by my side, we applied to be vendors—and to our surprise and excitement, we were accepted! Even while working full-time and raising our college-aged kids, VMD quickly became a joyful passion project.

In 2017, I had the chance to purchase the Birmingham and North Alabama markets. With Taylor’s encouragement, I took the leap. Then in early 2021, the Chattanooga opportunity opened, and I jumped in again—this time bringing my daughter on board as my business partner. It’s been a family adventure ever since. 

When we’re not hosting a VMD event, my daughter and I are either vending at other markets or shopping for our next big find. Safe to say, we’re true VMD fans through and through! We can’t wait for you to join us at Vintage Market Days® of North Alabama. Come discover what makes these events so special, and don’t forget to ask our vendors their stories—you might just fall in love, too.

Bringing the Vintage experience to you®…
