| Introduction | I've had a little Etsy shop since 2009 and take great care and enjoyment in curating vintage eyeglasses, accessories and beautiful pieces of clothing. I love the thrill of the hunt to find a piece I've never seen before and will never see again once it's carefully packaged and shipped of to its new owner. Selling vintage is unlike selling almost any other type of item--each time I feel like I'm creating a link from the past two future and connecting two lives with an item that was loved and will be loved again. When I'm not photographing, pressing, measuring or describing my garments and eyeglasses you can find me most often behind a book, and on those evenings that are generous time with a good recipe and beautiful ingredients. My fiancée and I live in the beautiful Oakland hills where we house and ever burgeoning library of antiquarian books, take orders from our small dog Coco, and soak in both the sun and the fog. |
