The story:
At the end of my senior year in high school, I began visiting second-hand shops as a way to unwind and take some time for myself. I soon realized that I could find items like the ones in my favorite decor magazines that compliment my relaxed style and satisfy my love for vintage.
If I hadn't started my shop, I believe my house would be completely overrun by vintage, and then I wouldn't be able to continue buying fun, unique decor. Because of this, I am thrilled that I have an outlet through which I can share my finds.

The shop:
Itch for Kitsch is an online collection of upbeat vintage items for your home. I choose items that reflect my personal taste and the aesthetic of decades past. Most of the items are from the 60′s and 70s (although other decades sneak in from time to time), and I specialize in “kitsch.”

The focus:
Kitsch is easier to show than it is to explain and often differs depending on a person’s perspective. To me, a kitschy item can be one that is so ugly it’s cute (which would make some people’s kids kitschy, right?) or one that is tacky/gaudy but makes me smile. I believe that while material possessions shouldn't be a person’s only source of joy, decor can sometimes help brighten a person’s environment and improve their quality of life. My goal for the shop is this: to add a little “kitsch” to someone’s life.
