MountainAireVintage

The idea of a vintage shop came to my wife after she joined a vintage team here on etsy. She thought that with our love of vintage and antiques that maybe we could find a great home for the many items we run across. We love to spend weekends on the hunt for items for our rustic home and so this seemed like a natural addition for us. We also love to hike the mountains and stop by the many garage sales, barn sales, etc. that we see while traveling to our hike.

We also love to roam the highways and byways of Vermont. Just get in the car and follow our noses. Stop by the many wonderful villages and various sales we see on the way. It is all about the hunt.

The great joy of finding an item, bringing it home, cleaning it up, and finding a true treasure is a wonderful feeling for us both. Now we can share some of those wonderful finds and help them get a new great home.

If you enjoy handmade crafts, unique crocheted items, art, and photography stop by our other shop. ADKArtsBoutiuqe https://www.etsy.com/shop/ADKArtsBoutique
