Of Yesteryear
I started this adventure when I realized I could satisfy my love of hunting for vintage items and also sell them to others to enjoy too.

I buy things I love and I enjoy finding just the right buyer for those things. I hunt for unique items reflective of the region I am visiting- especially America's small towns. I am a collector of all things old that were used and cherished by those in the past. Every item has personal history. My job is to find it, and past it on to the next generation to love it all over again.

I am completely reversing my prior review which was posted in error. It was meant for a different seller. I had ordered two of the same album from different sellers on Etsy; somehow I was posted to the wrong seller. I had not received the album from this seller at that time. I must say that Jan seems to be an exceptionally responsive and honest merchant. He had posted an apology and provided a refund before I even got the album. The album was fine. I felt so bad about posting a negative review. I will certainly be doing business with him in the future and would absolutely recommend him.

I love the Midwest and visiting small town USA. I am an avid collector of all things old and vintage. We live in suburbia but dream to live in small town Wisconsin. Future plans include visiting every national park living in a small travel trailer.
