Uniting Tradition and Togetherness at Pantry & Pub
Nestled within the eclectic 3 Strands Vintage Mall in Oklahoma City, Pantry & Pub is not just a vendor booth but a narrative of family heritage and communal celebration, lovingly curated by Cindy and John. Their collection reflects a lifetime of antique appreciation, deeply rooted in Cindy’s childhood memories of her family’s antique shops.
Cindy’s Deep Connection to Antiques
Antiques are not merely objects to Cindy; they are echoes of the past, each with a unique story that she was introduced to by her grandmother, Polly. Her fondness for antiques began in her childhood, surrounded by her grandmother and great aunts’ antique stores where even simple sandwich lunches were an opportunity to learn about historical dishes. This profound connection continues to inspire her meticulous selection of items for Pantry & Pub.
The Village Pub: A Center of Community
The concept of the village pub is partly inspired by the British series “All Creatures Great & Small,” envisioned as a hub for community interaction—places for fellowship, conversation, and shared celebrations. This theme is subtly echoed in the Pub side of the booth, featuring traditional elements like pewter steins and historical decanters that capture the essence of a quaint pub atmosphere.
The Dual Personality of the Booth
Pantry & Pub’s presence at 3 Strands Vintage Mall showcases a delightful duality: the Pantry side, with its elegant blue and white dishware and vintage copper wares, and the Pub side, which evokes the warmth of a classic pub with items like German steins and bar-themed art. This duality not only reflects Cindy’s multifaceted passion but also creates a rich, immersive shopping experience.
Overlapping Elements and Artisan Services
The booth features overlapping elements such as pewter dishware that might find its place on either side, symbolizing the blend of Cindy’s dual inspirations. Additionally, Cindy and John extend their craftsmanship through services like upholstery and furniture restoration, further personalizing the items they offer.
Discover the Charm of Pantry & Pub
Visiting Pantry & Pub at 3 Strands Vintage Mall is more than a shopping trip; it’s an opportunity to partake in a story of passion passed through generations, celebrating both the beauty of antique craftsmanship and the warmth of community connections. Cindy and John invite you to discover pieces that are not just part of history but part of their personal legacy, each selected to enhance your home and life.
