About Me
I’ve always had a soft spot for the well-loved, the perfectly worn, and the beautifully aged. Welcome to Velvet & Vinyl, where my lifelong love affair with all things vintage finds its home.
My thrifting journey began beside my great-grandma, a woman who could spot a genuine treasure from across a crowded church basement sale. Those Saturday mornings were magical – she’d grip my small hand as we navigated through aisles of forgotten items, teaching me to see beyond the dust. “That’s real crystal,” she’d whisper, or “This chair? They don’t make them like this anymore.”
What started as adventures with Great-Grandma evolved into a passion for hunting down those perfect pieces that tell stories. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of uncovering a mid-century side table for $15 or rescuing a 1970s velvet armchair that just needs a little love.
At Velvet & Vinyl, I share not just my finds, but the knowledge passed down from a woman who knew that style didn’t need to cost a fortune. From spotting authentic vintage fashion to reimagining retro home décor, I’m here to help you navigate the wonderful world of secondhand treasures.
