... who found great joy in collecting second hand treasures and dreamed of sharing those treasures with anyone who appreciates glimpses from the past.

Hello ~ Hola ~ G'day ~ bonjour ~ Ciao ~ Aloha....

Thank you for visiting my little shop by the sea. My love affair with vintage is truly a life long romance. Vintage pieces are a glimpse of someone's life. My goal is to bring you a lovely curated collection of vintage goods. I was blessed to have a mama who was always in vogue and she encouraged my own personal style and my love for repurposed & vintage treasures. Dad was a Mr. Fix it and could repurpose anything and everything ~ especially the unique treasures mama brought home. We were flea market and thrift shop connoisseurs... such great memories. Mama went home to be with my dad on Christmas Eve ~ they ARE my inspiration. ♥

I am entering the autumn of my life and as I look back I am grateful for the love and friendships I have been blessed with. My family is my number one priority and my grandchildren are my heart. My littlest grandson is my saving grace ~ due to his delicate medical conditon I must be near and available whenever he needs me so having an Etsy shop was the ideal solution for me to help my family do my part part financially. Thus the evolution of my inspiration has allowed me to pursue my passion of combining my artistic skills with my love of vintage pieces! So please consider visiting my shop often because you never know what you will find.

For My Dad: There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. ~John Gregory Brown

For Mama: To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart and to sing it to them...when they have forgotten.~Anonymous~

For all who pass this way may you have a most lovely day ♥


truly,
