I am pleased to meet you. My name is Bridget, I am a creative soul, with an eye for good design. Starting out in art and ending up with a career as a Floral Designer I continue to pursue my passions as I look for creative ways to share my love of art, home decor, design & vintage style.

I love the "Treasure Hunt" for unique, beautiful items! Going to estate sales, tag sales, little "off the beaten path" antique stores,resale shops, thrift stores and garage sales are what got me hooked on vintage,you never know what you will find. I have always felt connected to things from the past.

I bought my first vintage item when I was 10 years old, at a neighborhood garage sale, it was a Florence Original Ceramic Figurine of a pretty 19th Century Lady, I still have it today and keep it on display even though it was broken when my daughters were little, (we glued it back together.)

It was inevitable that I open a shop & put my skills to use, I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I love and share what I love. I have been selling vintage online with various platforms since 2010. I joined Esty in 2010 but did not become a seller until much later. Helping others to discover the beauty,value and history of vintage is important to me. Living with and using vintage everyday is my goal, to encourage a green lifestyle by using vintage in your daily life; Reuse,Repurpose & Recycle and do it with Style! Vintage is the beautiful and fun way to live Green!

One of my favorite quotes "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful". -William Morris

I am also a wife (married 30+ happy years) & mother of 2 wonderful daughters( both married to equally wonderful husbands,Grandma to one amazing little girl as well as 1 fiesty cat. We live in a home my husband & I remodeled,designed and built (an eclectic mix of old & new styles) in a family oriented lake filled area of southeast Michigan. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and love to help anyone who asks with decorating advice!

I try to live my life every day with gratitude for the blessings and gifts God has given me and I try my best to learn from and help others on this journey called Life.
