Finding a Place in Paris

I moved from Arizona to Paris in 2010 and have been fortunate to spend over a decade exploring the brocantes and the flea markets and growing my collection. This city is teeming with gems if only you have the patience to dig!

In September 2020, I lost a lot of work due to the pandemic. I had plenty of time on my hands for the first time in years and so I decided that it was an opportunity to start the business I’d been dreaming of : my own vintage shop.

My first sale came on the 25th of September, the anniversary of my Mother’s passing. I took it as a sign - and a gift - from her that I was on the right path and I haven't looked back.

I am so grateful to every one of you who has supported my little dream business!

 

A Childhood Passion

I inherited from my Grandma a love for collecting beautiful old things. I would spend hours with her examining her clothing and jewels and learning their stories. These old beauties have past lives and hidden secrets; they've been cherished by people who bestowed sentimental value upon them. They've become a kind of amulet. I believe these aged, previously-loved items possess a certain magic. And this is why I also believe that they will always find their way to the right person who will love and honor the item the way it deserves.

When I find these lovely old things I take them home. But they're not always meant for me. I hope that while perusing my shop you will find something magical that calls out to you.
