I’ve been a bit preoccupied lately, but wanted to pop in with a little glimpse at some things I’ve been hyper-fixating on while disassociating on the couch. It’s a mixture of fashion and knick knacks that popped up while I was searching and deciding what to spend $30-$50 on at 11:15pm on a Tuesday. I’m not that emotionally invested in any of these, though there is always blink of disappointment when one of my favorited items is sold. That’s quickly replaced with a caress of my ego at someone else having such great taste.

Welcome to Finder’s Keepers
This is the newsletter dedicated to leaving no vintage stone unturned. Each edition will cater to a rabbit hole that I fell down one night and include an assortment of vintage finds that make you question “Why did anyone own this?” followed quickly by “Should I own this?”
My method is simple: I attach a keyword or phrase to the item and go digging, spending hours each week combing through hundreds of pages of Etsy and Ebay bric-a-brac. It’s chaotic but satisfactory, like looking through every rack and bin at a thrift store for those that partake in the more visceral act of going in person. I like to sit on my couch.
