Thanks for visiting! I’m Chelsey!

A little more about me…

From a young age, I loved going antiquing with my mom and i’ve always loved dressing up. I guess you could say that’s where my love of old, unique things began. Fast forward to college, my friends and I would hit up our local thrift stores every week to find new outfits…and we were broke college kids so we knew how to stretch a dollar!

Over the years my style developed and I started appreciating the sustainable and affordable side of vintage and secondhand. I love “the thrill of the hunt” finding one-of-a-kind pieces that are made of quality materials and unique prints and styles. shopping secondhand allows you to completely be yourself and create your own style. There are no rules, it’s all about creativity and expressing yourself, And you can build your personalized wardrobe at affordable prices!

I started selling my own personal collection over the years when I would rotate pieces in my closet, which later led to me hunting for unique pieces to resell online as a little side hustle.

In March 2023, I rented space in a couple stores as a vendor and was approached with an opportunity to buy out an existing store in our quaint lakeside town of Harrison, Idaho. I prayed about it, talked with my husband, and made the decision to open my own brick and mortar vintage shoppe! What started as a passion project turned into a dream come true to curate a store! God’s timing is perfect and so many prayers were answered through this opportunity. We’ve met so many wonderful people and it has beens fulfilling to be able to do what I truly love for a living!
