As a designer and vintage lover, I have always believed that your home should be a reflection of you. It should reflect the feelings, the vibe and the history of you. It should project exactly what you want others to know about you when they enter your space in an unspoken language.

I decided to create this Etsy shop 10 years ago as a resource to help you achieve the look you want to create in your home, to build the layers of personality in the design of your space and to help you find meaningful objects that will come together in your home to tell YOUR story. Finding just the right item for your wall, kitchen island counter top, child's room, or mantel space will help reflect your style, personality and the life that you bring to your home. Maybe you saw it once in an antique store, or maybe it was on the wall in your grandmother's kitchen, or maybe it's just in your mind's eye, but I am out on the prowl finding great pieces that will speak to you.

I find pieces from every decade and every decorating style. If you like an eclectic mix, you're in the right shop! My inventory is always changing, but you will consistently find a few key items in my shop and lots of great reviews about my top sellers. Over the years, I have sold tons and tons of these specialty items. Let me be your go to gal for the following:
* Vintage Hankies - I'm drawn to novelty prints an holiday themed hankies
* Vintage Shelf Liner Paper - I sell full rolls of paper perfect for lining the inside of your vintage dresser or lining your closet shelves. My shelf paper is old and does not have sticky back, nor fragrance. It is printed craft paper from eons ago.
* Old Wooden Spoons - I grab these any time I see them. I sell them in lots of 8 but can always come up with more for your idea or project. I love them in old crocks on your counter or up cycled into Pinterest inspired wall art.
* Vintage Crewel Fiber Art pieces - I just love the kitschy style of old fiber art pieces. I am all about creating gallery walls and I think adding a handmade needlepoint piece (or two or three) adds dimension and interest.

My shop was named Calm, Cool & Collected Vintage as a play on words. It not only grounds me and gives me purpose, it also refers to the great pieces I gather for interest and dimension in your space.
