About Us

We offer a collection of vintage and newer items that are mostly from collections of my Grand Mother who was born in the late 1880's and my Mom, Trudy who lived to 91 and had been a model in the 50's and a true fashion plate throughout her life.
​
My Grand Mom once told me what an amazing life she had lived. She grew up in Germany when they still used horse and buggy for transportation and then saw a man land on the moon... all in one life time! She came on a boat thru Ellis Island during World War I and worked for a furrier in Chicago in the 20's and 30's so some vintage pieces are from her.
​
Mom collected shoes, clothes, accessories and most of all jewelry. We always said she never met a pair of pearls she didn't like and teased her that she even wore jewelry to takeout the trash.
​
Our family always had a great sense of humor about everything and mom often joked that we would have a challenge getting rid of all her stuff that she affectionately called "crap".
So all the the things were once crap are now ...
