| - It is honestly so astounding to me that Flower Child doesn't have more recent reviews and photos. The photos others have uploaded are not reflective of this place at all. It's not creepy. In fact, it's the polar opposite. It's a visual treasure trove and an interesting place everyone should visit once. Even if you're not looking for something in particular, if you're in the area, just come explore. You'll have fun.
Flower Child itself is two floors. The highlight, for me, is the furniture sections. They've curated several rooms of funky, crazy, colorful furniture sections filled with couches, decor, trinkets, and accessories. You'll find a gorgeously eccentric velvet tufted sofa next to an end table filled with hand-painted art and vintage frames that still have photos of beautiful people in them draped in fur in the 1950s. Honestly, to thoroughly investigate even one of those rooms takes significant time. They also have a really cool jewelry selection filled with statement pieces, costume jewelry, dainty pieces and nightlife pieces. Everything looks like it carries an interesting story... which is one of the reasons I love to vintage hunt.
I'm an experienced vintage hunter. I often hear that people think that's "cool" and they "wish they knew how to do it." If you're one of these people, Flower Child is a great place to start. It's budget-friendly, the staff are willing to help you, and no one is going to cheat you out of anything (this isn't a super high-end place where you're looking for couture, though they might have some). It's a great place to welcome yourself into vintage hunting by finding a few quirky things you never knew you needed. Tea set? Faux fur Penny Lane coat? Books? A vintage letterman's jacket? Why not.
