Welcome to Stuff From Back Then, where every piece—handmade or mass-produced—carries a story shaped by thoughtful design and lasting function. From retro tech to nostalgic decor, each item is chosen for the way form and purpose come together.

I’m Melanie, the curator behind the shop. I’m drawn to everyday objects with intention—pieces that mattered then and still hold meaning today.

Thanks for visiting and helping keep vintage stories alive around the world. 💜

So happy to locate and get this perfect, complete set. Had one when my kids were young which they loved, but somehow various ones got lost. Nice seller.

My family collected spoons for decades. So glad I can share the collection worldwide. Thank you for the kind review.

Curated Items from "Back Then"

Fostering passion and care for "Stuff From Back Then".

As a designer, I see things differently. I see the beauty in everyday objects, whether mass produced or uniquely made.

Our items are sourced, cleaned and prepped for sale in our tiny shop here in Winnipeg. I try to curate collectable electronics that tell a story from the past, artful pieces for gifting, and fun decor that gives a glimpse of vintage life. Canadian made products, and items that celebrate Canada are especially exciting.

Come have a look at "StuffFromBackThen", and see what is new each week!
