I was a Garage Sale Girly from the start and spent many a happy summer day cruising with my Grandma looking for treasures at garage sales. Always on the hunt for all things Barbie, I loved finding original 1960’s Barbie clothes, not owned by the other girls on the block. My love for Barbie clothes grew into a passion for fashion. As a graduate from Kent State with a degree in Fashion Design, I worked as a clothing designer infusing vintage detail, fabric prints and graphic techniques into the designs that I was creating. After seven years in this industry, I soon discovered that I could combine my design skills with my love for collecting vintage home décor.

This Garage Sale Girly has come full circle and returned to scouring garage sales, flea markets and estate auctions, finding vintage items and repurposing vintage textiles into items that could decorate your space to create a truly unique look.
