The outside of Digs. It is a one story long white building. There is a big empty parking lot in the foreground and some trees and a cloudy sky behind the building.

DIGS is a collaboration of creative vintage and antiques dealers. The space is huge and full of furniture, art, glassware, clothing, and anything else you can imagine. Each dealer has their own space in the store and walking through it feels like walking through a beautifully curated flea market.

The inside of the Digs store. There is a row of windows on the right side. An aisle goes through a row of furniture and other vintage wares.

The owners have done all the digging so all you have to do is pick which piece is going to come home with you. The best part is, each person is constantly adding to their displays so there are always new things to find! They update their facebook often, so keep an eye out for new things coming to the shop.

The inside of the Digs store. There is a table and chairs in the middle of a small room. The room is full of other vintage wares on the walls and surrounding the table.
