Go Green, Buy Vintage

My mom and I have been each other’s companions in travel and work for the last 10 years, not to mention my first 18. In that time we have always had a project in the works, be it the remodel and redecoration of a property or retail business, she is the machinery making the gears in our lives shift, change and go!

Our endeavor in American antiques spans more than my lifetime, as my mom’s passion for antiques predates me. I am familiar with stories of little Harriette dragging home bits and pieces of antiquity since girlhood. Re-use and re-purposing have always been a part of our lives… like those multitudes of rusticated treasure we’ve been bringing into our lives all these years.

Antique seeking is good, wholesome fun my mom and I both share. Our cross-country expeditions have been true adventures, times we reflect on again and again. Quality time together finding quality goods from the past.

Bargains have never been part of our story, but vintage merchandise that has already survived through lifetime’s and here to provide service and joy today, are worth their weight in gold. Utilizing the products of yesterday is good for the planet today and that alone is: priceless!

As we look around at the outsourcing of American goods and the deforestation associated with that manufacturing, we are proud of our choice to go vintage, stay American and be “Green”.
