History

Established in 2008.

Jenny and Jim Vielandi have always loved antiques. Jenny’s parents were hippies and their love of re-​using and re-​purposing vintage and antique items rubbed off on her. Jim has a great eye for a good find. Their loving aquisition of antiques took over their house and they either had to stop the hobby or make the hobby into a business. The business venture won! The store is now a multi vendor location with a vast general inventory.
