While I grew up checking out antique fairs with my dad and thrifting with my best friend, it was really in college that I discovered my true passion for collecting vintage. It all began with a little vintage shop called The Get Up, while attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (go blue!). My first loves were 1970s owl pendant necklaces and 1950s fit and flare dresses.
You know that question people ask… ‘what would be your dream job?’ Well my answer has always been ‘own a vintage store’. This little shop is my first step towards that dream. This store is a reflection of the vintage that is my joy - women’s clothing, jewelry, and handbags. Sprinkle in a little bit of home goods (a reflection of my being a first time homeowner recently).
