Hi I’m Rachel!

I didn’t grow up liking old things.

In fact, I didn’t really start getting into antiques until my mid-20’s. I dipped my foot into the antiquing world when I met my hubby in 2008 and the rest is history!

I purchased inexpensive little pieces here and there early on and played with them in my decor. By experimenting and playing around with those antiques, I learned which types of pieces I loved.

Old things are full of beauty. My hope through this blog is to inspire you to find that beauty in whichever way it speaks to you.

Me and my husband Mitch met during my senior year of college and have a lovely life together!

We currently reside in a cozy townhouse that we have been slowly updating, room by room, with our own two hands.

Whenever the time is right, our big dream is to purchase property, build a cottage on it, and move to the country in Southern Minnesota.

This is our Boston Terrier, Tilly. She is our absolute joy.

I live a life of adventure and curiosity, going against the grain. A few tidbits about me:

• My definition of a ‘date night’ is spending the day at a state park fly fishing for trout and then maybe stopping at some antiques stores!
• I deeply care for the ocean and all it’s creatures and am a huge advocate for the environment. Antiques are not only beautiful but they are also environmentally friendly. By purchasing them, you help in keeping things out of landfills and precious waters like lakes and oceans.
• Country music runs through me! There is nothing quite like a Keith Urban concert!
• Old things are neat…ghost towns, old houses, old barns, weathered wood, vintage trucks… you name it! If it’s old, I probably love it.
