My love affair with antiques and interiors begins with my very talented mother.  A lover of art and history, she taught me the importance of roots and family, and the power of inherited and found objects, a new coat of paint, classic upholstery, beautiful linens, fresh flowers and unusual decorative elements.

Fresh Vintage is inspired by years growing up along the Miramichi river in beautiful New Brunswick, canoeing, walking the woods, gathering with family, exploring attics, and travelling the atlantic region in search of “treasure” at auctions, shops and flea markets.

After many years of thrifting and picking, I’m thrilled to have a shop of my own that offers a carefully curated selection of antiques, vintage furnishings, rugs and fabric, along with new furniture, home accessories and gifts.
