Found and Collected: The Story Behind Gracie Lou's Preloved/Vintage Collection

Imagine this: breathing new life into a cherished piece of home that once held the warmth of another family's love. It's like writing a new chapter in a beloved story, infusing it with your little ones own milestones and dreams.

My childhood was punctuated by weekends of treasure hunts at flea markets and yard sales. Those memories are etched with the thrill of finding hidden gems. I shared these memories with my aunt while we searched for Hull-brand chinaware, and the joy of discovery alongside my mother finding fun and funky boots for me to wear to school. Long summer days were filled with spontaneous roadside stops in my uncle's van, as my cousins and I sang Shania Twain songs and laughed for hours. It was a childhood filled with so many found treasures and memories made.

Over time, my love for this timeless tradition deepened, leading me to the doorways of antique shops. The rows of forgotten items, each with a story to tell and that kept me captivated for hours.

And now, our collection of Preloved/Vintage items is a homage to this time-honored family tradition. Each piece holds character and history, perfect for adding a touch of individuality to your nursery or playroom. Imagine days of playtime with wooden cars and airplanes that have weathered the tides of time, wicker furniture that brings a touch of nostalgia and elegance, and other treasures that effortlessly align with modern nursery aesthetics.

Incorporate a vintage flair into your little one's space – a piece of yesterday that's destined to be a cherished part of their own story. Explore our collection and bring a piece of the past into your child’s new world.
