From the Pottery Belt to Your Home
The Heart of the Nest
Growing up just off the historic Lincoln Highway near Pittsburgh, I was surrounded by the rich heritage of the "Pottery Belt." My love for well-loved treasures started early—from tossing nickels at church fairs to win a "Jolly Elf" teacup to admiring my grandmother’s 1904 shoe buckles. To me, these aren’t just objects; they are stories waiting for a new chapter.
Why "The Repurposed Robin"?
Like a robin building its nest from a mix of found materials, I believe in the beauty of the "collected" home. My mission is to curate a blend of authentic vintage—like classic Fiestaware and mid-century ceramics—alongside unique, upcycled pieces. Whether it’s a tile transformed into a Mediterranean-style trivet or a shelf-sitter given new life with IOD transfers, every item is chosen or created to add soul to your space.
