Why we chose the Mockingbird as our namesake
As every Texan knows, the amazing mockingbird is the Texas state bird. However, as we are not native Texans, and had no idea. But we were pleasantly surprised when this happy coincidence was brought to our attention. We hope the reasons we chose this amazing creature to be our namesake may pleasantly surprise you. Did you know that the mockingbird has the incredible ability to mimic almost any sound it hears with such incredible accuracy that you are never sure if its the real thing? However, this clever bird never re-creates anything exactly, instead, it changes the pitch, power or tempo just enough to make it unique. We feel the same when we use vintage items to re-create the past. We are able to mimic the past using vintage items, while still putting our own unique twist on it to make it our own. We hope to reflect the wonderful abilities this sweet bird embodies. |
Dottie & Brittany
We are a Mother & Daughter team who avidly LOVE all things vintage, and are always looking for new ways to make second hand and unloved things beautiful and useful again. Decorating our homes with these treasures, we often have requests from others to help bring that same vintage charm to their homes and special events.
Growing up in rural Michigan, roaming the countryside picking wild flowers and caring for horses, chickens, and even a goat, vintage isn't just a "style" with us, it's a way of life and we relish it! Taking our love of country style and combining it with our experience staging homes and owning craft & antique businesses, the decision to pursue a boutique vintage rental business seemed the perfect way to merge our experience, passion and style. Like many families in this economy, we have had our share of troubled times, including several moves, so packing and unpacking is second nature to us and being thrifty is our specialty! We consider it a privilege to help you add the warmth & charm of vintage style to your special occasion, while staying within your means. So let us help you create your dream, on YOUR budget. We hope you delight in perusing through our store filled with our favorite beautiful things, and once you discover those “ just can’t do without” pieces, let us know so we can reserve them for you! Don’t see something that your heart is set on? Let us know and we will try to locate it for you. Have favorite pieces you no longer have room for or need to part with? Let us know, it may be just the piece we have been looking to add to our inventory! |
