If you were one of the lucky ones to visit the VIP areas at this year’s Pilgrimage Festival at Harlinsdale Farm, you might have noticed the furniture and decor, which were all selected to make festival goers feel like they were sitting in their own living room. Where did they get all of that furniture? Erin Sparks of  Shop Vintage Sparkles worked with Pilgrimage Festival organizers to supply them with the furniture.
Her company, Shop Vintage Sparkles, is a multi-functional one stop business where she sells vintage items, provides staging and decor resources to clients and she has a blog offering decor tips and tricks. 
We sat down with Sparks to learn more about how she got started, how much furniture she provided to Pilgrimage Fest and where does she keep all of that inventory?
Tell us how Shop Vintage Sparkles began?
I got started at the Nashville Flea Market! I set up there for the first time in July of 2014 and did that for about a year.
How did you get involved with Pilgrimage?
I got involved with Pilgrimage Festival through my rental business. They were wanting a bohemian vintage vibe in their Artist, Media, and VIP lounges and that’s what I do. I’m so thankful we found each other.
What was the process like to deliver the furniture with Pilgrimage?
With the help of my amazing husband and many generous friends, we delivered 8 sofas, 19 chairs, 31 tables, trunks, screens and bars, 27 rugs, 10 throw pillows and 13 accent throws to Pilgrimage Festival this year.
After Pilgrimage, where do you store all of that furniture?
Currently, we have a 1300 sq ft basement that houses some of my inventory, our home also has pieces scattered throughout, and I have a very large storage unit. I am hoping to move into a warehouse soon.
In addition to renting furniture, what things do you offer?
I have my Etsy shop and also do a lot of custom sourcing for designers and clients around town. In addition, I do some real estate home staging, styling and decorating. No two days are alike and I am so so grateful to have a business and life that I love!
