This holiday season, I had the joy of having a pop-up in Sewickley, Pennsylvania and an in-person introduction to my Vintage + Designer Resale edit, which launched online November 3rd. While the collection lives digitally, experiencing it face-to-face brought something truly special to life.
What made this pop-up so meaningful was the chance to connect one-on-one. To listen, to observe what pieces people were drawn to, and to share the stories behind them, where they came from, what era they lived in, and why they found their way here. The collection spans decades and styles: some of the oldest pieces I’ve ever sourced, some of the funkiest accessories, and more, all curated by me. Seeing how each person connected with different pieces reaffirmed just how unique and layered this collection truly is.
When I first launched this collection, I described it as being for the dreamers and the kindred spirits... and that sentiment came alive in this space. The pop-up felt like a gathering of people who appreciate beauty, individuality, and the quiet magic of wearing something with a past.
The experience was made even more special by sharing the space with fellow local small business Align + Bloom, owned by Allie Heyward. Allie brought her signature touch throughout the week with whimsical, romantic floral bouquets of garden roses, greenery, and rich seasonal tones, as well as a hands-on flower bar where guests could create their own arrangements. Alongside the florals, her home goods added another beautiful shopping opportunity to the space.
Because the response has been so lovely, we’ve decided to extend the pop-up for a few more days, continuing all of these elements. It’s been such a gift to create in a space that feels festive yet intimate (holiday music playing, yes) but also ultra-feminine, thoughtful, and creatively charged. There’s something about this time of year that invites slowing down and really seeing one another.
Every person who has walked through the door has fallen in love with the experience in their own way, and the conversations have been just as meaningful as the pieces themselves. If you’re nearby, I’d truly love for you to experience it for the final days. Allie and I are so grateful for every person who has supported us this season.
