The day I became a Vintage Junkee.

It was 6 years ago when fell in love at a first sight of an Eames chair. I just loved it's clean lines, sleek body and its mod style that most Mid century pieces have and of course the mid century culture itself. Also an avid diehard fan of the Mad Men series, I got addicted to the mid century craze and became a vintage fanatic.

I slowly got interested in collecting vintage pieces and started going to garage sales in my neighborhood and grab items that caught my eye. But soon, I learned to pick through the piles and see the potential and value of it. This immediately became my passion. To satisfy my vintage junking addiction, I started going to flea markets, estate sales and thrift stores in different NYC boroughs. For me the more disorganized the place, the better the hunt since you do not know what you will find underneath the pile. It could be an original vintage piece or just a glamorous fabrication.

Through the years of picking and buying. I accumulated vintage stuff. A lot of them. Its like a Hoarders: Buried Alive episode waiting to happen. But they are my own personal pieces, pieces that attracts me the most and pieces that I love. I find satisfaction and happiness in a great vintage find and curating them inside my home.

I love milk glasses, mid century wall decors and most of all vintage owls. Some of them are made by  Homco, Sexton , Dart ind etc..

As the pile grew and my storage became smaller . I decided to let go of some of my vintage finds and share it with other vintage junkee like me.

So, I started selling at ETSY. Come and visit my shop and start picking my personal finds here in my little town called  New york city :)
