Welcome....to the vintage home

Welcome to the vintage home, an exciting store with ambiance, style,delightfully old and whimsically new...a great mix which offers something for everyone. The store opened June 2007, and has been growing ever since, always changing going on, new products and handmade unique items that only we carry. I feel very fortunate to be doing exactly what I love and am passionate about. And it must be said that this has been a group effort , without all my supporters and all the continued encouragement none of this could have ever transpired. My friend and once partner Kim Shumate has never ending energy and always finds time to step up to the plate bringing her husband Jug along for the ride. Without them my store would still be a dream...I am forever grateful to the both of them...especially since they won't let me go anywhere..looks like Wilkes County might be home for awhile. And I have met so many great people, customers and customers turned friends, that makes it such a joy to have such a great store...so if you haven't yet made your way in...stop by and experience it for yourself. There is always something going on.....

Aw, Michelle! Speaking for myself AND Jug, it has been a privilege to watch you blossom! We stepped up because we saw your great potential, your inate talent and your energy. It just seemed like the only thing to do! We're so happy for you! The store is becoming THE place to shop in the Wilkesboros and it's because of your uniqueness, your style, and your talent that this has happened. And lastly, no, you cannot leave Wilkes County--EVER!! I would just be lost. You are my bestest friend! And I love you!
