Growing up, I've always drifted towards the thrift shops and the shops where you have to look through the clothes and actually imagine them in your head. Not the shops where the clothes are already set up on mannequins in outfits.

After graduating college, my closet started to overflow with clothes. As I traveled around visiting family and friends, the closet became smaller and smaller after every trip...or maybe, it could have been the clothes I brought back. :)

That's when I decided to open up the etsy shop. I decided to call it Rearview Vintage because it was all vintage items that I had collected on the road. And if you are looking back to the past (vintage) in a car, then you are looking in the Rearview Mirror. ANYHOW, that's where the initial name came from.

I love to craft and make things, and really any medium is fun for me to work in. It distracts me, and honestly, it takes me out of my head, which I need a lot of the time. When crafting, or shopping for the shop, I am in my own world, no worries, no analyzing. I am just in my happy place...and I like to be in my happy place.

I started a blog to go along with all my adventures and recently wanted to encompass more things than just vintage...so the name needed to change. My name is Kate and the blog was going to be about all the thing I loved...so I came up with the name The Kate's Meow...like the cat's meow. So the name of the shop needed to change along with the blog and so of course it just became Meow.

I hope you like the shop and I would love to hear from you if you have the time!!
