Today's featured shop is Delia with Amelia Bedelia Vintage. Please take some time to learn about her approach to vintage shops - special offer at the end!
Amelia
Bedelia Vintage opened in 2009 when I had discovered Etsy as a buyer and
realized I could open up my own shop! I
have always been a collector, digger, treasure hunter, whatever you want to
call it, and Etsy gave me an outlet to share that love with a whole
community.
Here at Amelia Bedelia Vintage you'll find lots of bright mid century goodies and fun retro home decor pieces to brighten up your day. :) Running this shop allows me to dig for treasure and pass it on to you in the hopes that you'll find a piece that makes you smile!
I
am addicted to color, and my shop is filled with bright and happy pieces from
the 1950’s through the 1980’s. The
colors from the mid century era just blow me away, and sometimes I wish I was
born in the Mad Men age! Each item you
see is something I would be proud to have in my own home, and usually that’s
where it stays until its new owner comes along.
Sometimes
it’s hard for me to part with these things, but I need to pass it on to other
vintage lovers or I’d be on Hoarders for sure!
This guy was one of my favorites….but he has a happy and loving home
now.
You
can also find me at www.thehappyforest.etsy.com , where I just opened a new vintage clothing shop! I found it too confusing to have clothing
mixed in with home décor and wanted my shoppers to have a more streamlined
browsing experience. Here you’ll find
MORE color and bright vintage wearable
pieces from the 1950’s-80s.
Although I do spend the majority of my time thrifting and estate saling, I do have a pseudo day job as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern (MFTI). What’s nice is that the flexible hours of being a therapist allow me plenty of time to maintain my love of vintage goodies! And when I’m not doing any of the above, you’ll find me tucked into a cozy corner with some Harry Potter and a freshly brewed French press, dreaming my day away….
