I must have written this one thousand times or more in my head...trying to be witty + poetic...trying to be something I am not. What I am is a collector. I have a gene for it, I cannot apologize. I came by it through my beloved Grandmother, Nanny. And now, forgive me I have passed it on to my daughters...Meghan, my middle child dove right in and is my partner. She is the voice of reason..."put your hand down...we don't need that". And of course since I AM the mother, I give her a scathing look and wave my hand frantically at the auctioneer.
RD1 Vintage began as a way to par down my collections, and then I again heard the siren lure of the Auction Man calling my name. Oh dear, I am in worse shape then before. Way worse shape.
We hunt it down, driving hours to auctions, bring it home, gloat a bit + then shine it up pretty...then get out the camera, crank up the music and coffee pot and go for a marathon photo session. Then we list and people buy ...thank-you to all our customers!
Why do we like/sell vintage? Well we love it obviously. Be it the fun graphics on a lunch box or the sturdy form of a good McCoy vase, we love the history the piece holds in it.
We believe that every home has a place for vintage and that piece becomes more than just an item. It becomes part of a persons' heart + soul.
~~thank you for visiting RD1 Vintage
