It seems that I've always had a fascination with old things. I think it started back when I was a little girl and happened to discover some 1930's toys and old magazines stashed away in a dark cubbyhole in the basement of the home my parents had just purchased from my grandparents. Those old toys and books captured my imagination like nothing else had before.

For years afterwards, I often had dreams of wandering through a Victorian mansion searching for hidden treasures...

In my shop, I'll be taking you with me on that treasure hunt. One by one, we'll be looking through stacks of old magazines, books and paper ephemera, piles of vintage clothing and accessories, boxes of intriguing estate sale finds. I've been passionately collecting a lot of history over the years and am excited to share my discoveries with you!

Stay and shop a while, won't you please? Here's the link: SIPofSarsaparilla.etsy.com

SIP of Sarsaparilla is dedicated to... my two favorite little “Sips” who somehow survived a childhood of “Mom’s old junk” scattered throughout every room of the house.

And...I would be remiss if I didn’t also give a shout-out to my eight amazing sibs and wonderful parents whose influence on me runs deep. If I am kind, honest, and service-oriented in my business, you can thank my parents for that.

Did I tell you that my father ran a small town variety store, featuring an amazing candy counter and endless comic books to read? Perhaps that’s a story for another time...
