When we got married in May of 2023 we started collecting items to decorate our home together, (mainly Disney themed items, Legos and vintage rustic items) and suddenly we found ourselves wanting to still go our every Saturday morning together to hunt for vintage treasures but we were running out of space in our home. So after a little bit of convincing ourselves to part ways with some of our vintage items, we decided to share our treasures with others around the World. We opened our Etsy store in May 2023 and we have been delighted to share so many items with people that love vintage items just like us.
The "Hubby" Eric has always enjoyed collecting and selling Lego items and has a great collection of vintage and new ones that he loves to put together and we have displayed throughout our home. He also enjoys collecting Star Wars memorabilia and everything Disney.
The "Wifey" Kerry has always been a picker, her Mom started her at a young age taking her to yard sales and turning old things into new. Kerry once owned a vintage store in Murphys, CA where she spent lots of times at yard sales and auctions. Her first collection was of Longaberger baskets, but now her love is vintage patriotic decor and Little Mermaid collectibles.
So, what do we find in Northern California? Well, not any GOLD but we definitely find treasures during our weekend pickings. We love to discover those untouched vintage and retro items that you remember your grandparents having in their homes when you were a child. We love finding vintage Christmas items like glass ornaments, tinsel trees, handmade decorations and of course ceramics of Mr. and Mrs. Clause. Although, we don't drink a lot of beer we love to find breweriana items such as pre-prohibition beer mugs or steins, vintage beer calendars, signs, steel beer cans and retro barware items. The wifey loves finding quirky one of a kind vintage items, she always says "the weirder the better".
We love our Etsy business, from treasure hunting together on weekends, to bidding at auctions, researching the items we sell and packaging up our items to be shipped around the World it is something we enjoy doing as a family. And there is nothing more that makes us happier when we hear from one of our customers as to why they purchased a specific item or how happy the gift was the person receiving.
If you are looking for something in particular, let us know. We have a large inventory of items that have not been posted, so no matter if it's a specific beer stein, an item from a specific city or just something similar you have seen in our store let us know. You never know we may already have it or we may find it at our next pickin' adventure.
Don't forget that if you purchase multiple items we will always combine shipping to give you the best price and refund any overages on shipping costs. If after putting a couple items in your shopping cart and Etsy changes your shipping to priority only, let us know and we can always ship USPS Ground Advantage which depending on location is often less expensive.
So, enjoy browsing through our store and be sure to mark our store as a favorite, since we are weekly adding items to the store.
