About

Back In The Day Vintage is a little dream that got big enough to fill a whole church.

I’m Patricia, and my partner Shawn and I have a passion for things of the past, thrifting our way through small towns, estate sales, flea markets, and “the bins,” hunting for pieces that still have a story to tell. Somewhere along the way, we fell in love with an old church in small-town Alabama and decided to turn it into our home, warehouse, and future vintage shop under the name Back In The Day Vintage LLC.

We’re building this business the same way we build our racks: one great piece at a time.

Our shop is all about:

• Vintage & secondhand fashion from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and Y2K
• Well-loved denim, tees, dresses, jackets, and cozy sweaters
• Home décor with character—the kind of things you’d find in your cool aunt’s house back in the day

Almost everything you see in our physical shop will also be available here online, plus extra pieces that are still waiting for their turn on the store floor.

We believe in reusing what already exists, supporting small towns, and making it easy (and fun) to shop secondhand. Our dog Bogie supervises from the sidelines and occasionally photobombs our photoshoots.

If you like watching projects come to life, you can also follow along on our YouTube Chanel: @thisflippinchurchlife, where we share the church-to-vintage-store renovation, thrifting trips, and behind-the-scenes life.

Thanks for being here and helping us give these “back in the day” treasures a second life. 💚
