The long and the short. I love vintage, salvage, upcycling and repair.

I was in Florida restoring vintage motorhomes, Airstreams and GMC's, and I'd been spending a lot of time helping my girlfriend in her vintage clothing shop. She'd come into this just as I met her and after a year her partner retired to selling solely online. So she needed a partner. And although I loved the work I was doing I was looking for a more active role in running a business. We joined forces and soon after I opened a space next door that was only furniture, art and housewares to compliment the vintage clothes. After running the shops successfully for just around three years we decided to move to my hometown in Virginia.

Winchester, VA might not have the traffic or customer base that we had in central Florida but we do have a variety of other opportunities. I run the shop out of a converted barn on an old family farm, repair vintage (and mowers, chainsaws, broke old cars) and am working on setting up an off the grid residence with a yurt and Airstream. Our lives have only gotten busier in this small town but vintage and the warmth of objects with age is something I thoroughly enjoy finding and sharing.
