I take great care in accurately describing and photographing the condition of all the unique goods I have for sale. My items are all in retro, vintage, or antique condition, meaning that they are old and pre-loved with possible signs of wear and tear. You need to expect to find a certain degree of use noticeable on pre-loved items, colors may appear aged, and surface finishes may lack lustre with possible damage or noticable repairs. 

From clothing to home decor to accessories, my collection is full of one-of-a-kind pieces with their own unique history and charm. Embrace the character and history of each item, and find the perfect vintage piece to add a touch of nostalgia to your home or wardrobe. 

By purchasing my listing of goods you do accept these facts and considerations and you do understand that all sales are final. I urge you to use extreme caution with your lovely piece of history and to cherish it for its beauty and uniqueness. The world no longer makes such things of true craftsmanship with the qualities that have held up over time. Thank you for choosing to add a piece of my lovingly selected historical collection to your home!

While the pieces in my shop exude charm and character, it's important to note that they are difficult to assess for food safety and in many cases may be best used for decorative purposes. With their unique designs and rich history, these items make for stunning display pieces and conversation starters that will add a touch of nostalgia to your decor.  

Any piece listed in my shop may display unique signs of age including crazing, cracks, hairline fractures, and potential lead-paint concerns. While these characteristics add to their aged appeal, it's important to consider the integrity and food safety of the item before use. I strive to provide accurate descriptions of every item to help you make an informed decision about your purchase. Embrace the nostalgia of your item while being mindful of it's condition and your pesonal safety.

Again, please take all necessary precautions when handling vintage kitchenware and homegoods, and be aware of any potential health hazards.

If you have any questions or concerns about a particular item, please feel free to reach out to me directly for more information. 

• Antique: An antique item is something that is about 100 years old or older. So in 2022, an item would need to be from 1922 or earlier to generally be considered antique. Examples could include handmade, wooden furnishings, paintings, or other decor items. 

• Vintage: Vintage furniture and other items have a broader age requirement than antiques, though they must be old enough to feel like they are from a pre-existing time period or a bygone era. This would include items that are anywhere from about 20 to 99 years old. Oftentimes, vintage items bring back feelings of nostalgia and may also be collectible. 

• Retro: When it comes to retro furniture or decor, it may not actually be old at all. You often will find retro pieces at popular retailers today. These items are newly made but designed to look like vintage or antique items. For example, you might find a pair of "vintage" shoes or an "old" lamp that evoke styles of times past, though they are not actually from an older time.
