Lafayette shoppers looking for a little nostalgia have a new stop on Johnston Street: Collecting Yesterday, a vintage marketplace at 3219-B Johnston Street.

The business celebrated its grand opening on October 24, introducing a collection of vendors offering vintage merchandise, antiques, collectibles and curated secondhand finds.

Rather than focusing on a single product line, the marketplace brings together different sellers and styles under one roof.

That means a visit could turn up decorative pieces, keepsakes or unexpected finds for collectors and casual browsers alike.

For shoppers who enjoy the hunt as much as the purchase, the appeal is discovering something they did not know they were looking for.

The opening adds another locally oriented shopping destination to the Johnston Street corridor.

It also gives independent vendors a shared place to showcase merchandise and reach customers interested in items with character and history.

Unlike a conventional retail store, inventory at a multi-vendor vintage marketplace can change as sellers bring in new pieces.

Anyone planning a visit should check the business's current hours and vendor offerings before heading out.

For Lafayette residents interested in antiques or secondhand shopping, Collecting Yesterday is a new name worth knowing.
