The Hunt! What did they buy?
By Shelly Thompson, Owner Millie McKeever's Vintage & Home Decor, Walnut, Iowa
The Hunt!
When you're on 'the hunt', there are two ways you know you needed exactly what you've found -
You were looking for it and FINALLLY found it! You're elated that the long search for the treasured item has come to an end. Or, this is the most common way...the second method...IT FINDS YOU! That means the item caught your attention and you have to buy it, and you didn't even know that you were hunting for it!
Our shoppers at Millie's Vintage & Home Decor are THE BEST! Sure, it's great to sell your merchandise, but if you're in this business for the right reason...you like to match the item with the perfect person. Kind of 'match making' in a way. You've hunted and found treasures and now...you'll see who loves them as much as you. There's a lot of time and care that goes into selecting items for our shop.
I love it when someone leaves and they are over-the-moon with their purchase, because then they tell me why they are buying it, what it means to them, and the treasure now has come full circle...it's leaving with a story on a journey to a new home.
Some people talk to plants...I talk to my merchandise. No, it's never talked back. Yet.
I think you'll enjoy seeing some of the fun and unique finds that our shoppers have found recently. They might get pictured just because they were so amazingly kind, as our customers are. No purchase necessary to have fun, or get photographed at Millie's. We like making memories on our old 147-year-old original bank wood floors. And, I think by the way they creak...they don't mind a bit!
Thank you to customers everywhere who shop small, helping people live out their dreams everyday!
Now, let's see below what they found!
