Meet Emma Rozeveld of Eben Lemon on Etsy ~

One of Emma’s goals in life was to open up her own vintage store; her shop on Etsy, Eben Lemon, is the result of her hard work! In addition to selling carefully selected vintage goodies, Emma sells items she’s made herself.

For the new handmade items, Emma usually tries to use vintage or upcycled fabrics and materials. You’ll find all sorts of great vintage apparel, accessories, goods and housewares at Eben Lemon!

» Captionapt22 owner Candice McGourin goes antiquing

Candice McGourin of apt22 on Etsy tells us why she loves vintage ~

The term vintage conjures up different images for different people. For some, the idea of vintage is an old box of junk sitting in their mother’s attic that has been gathering dust for twenty years.

For me, it is something completely different. I can’t explain the thrill I get from entering a thrift or antique store and finding an amazing piece of clothing or item for the home that is from a completely different time and place.

» CaptionCandice’s apt22 favorites include this 60s Black and Red Peggy Olson Dress (left) and 50s Daisy Hand Knit Vintage Cardigan (right)

I love the little piece of history that each item I find represents. You may never know the story behind an item, but you know that there is one.

Today we live in a culture of throw away clothing and “Made in China” luxuries; people don’t hold on to things anymore… I love the idea that a woman kept the dress she wore 50 years ago to a school dance and that now I can give that dress a new life and a new story. That is why I love vintage…
