Etsy

Welcome!

Hi There! My name is Jacquie and I live in the beautiful Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland. I am happily married to John and in our blended family of 7 we have 5 children between the ages of 25 & 15, a chocolate lab and a sweet little ragdoll kitty. To read more about me please visit The Tag Team Blog where I was chosen and interviewed as Shop Of The Week: http://tagtreasuryteam.blogspot.com/2011/10/tagt-featured-shop-of-week-jacquierae.html

After having my own antique booth here in Annapolis for years, my current lifestyle required me to make some changes. The online venue of Etsy allows me to continue doing what I love. My love and my hope is to help preserve American history through the preservation of American antiques. Because I love all things vintage you will find some antiques from other countries. But my primary focus is finding and offering American vintage.

I love all forms of art and I have been creating and crafting since I was in grade school. I hope I have come a long way since then. I have to thank my mom who gave me the crafting bug and my love for antiques.

I find inspiration in many places: nature, antique stores, second hand shops, magazines and other people. My favorite artistic outlet is taking vintage items destined for the dumpster and re-purposing them. I love to create original handmade home decor reusing and restoring vintage items into decorative items especially in unusual ways or even recreating items I find in catalogs but for much less. I'm even more inspired now as I support the green movement in our country.

All items come from a smoke free home but not a pet free home thanks to Hunter and Bella.

I am so excited to be part of the Etsy community of artisans! I look forward to hearing from you and helping you in any way I can. Thank you for visiting my shop. Please visit my blog too: http://jacquieraes-edensedge.blogspot.com
