Vintanthromodern is part modern craft studio, part creative event space, part vintage shop, and part rotating pop-up shop! We carry a tightly curated selection of vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories, along with small batch handmade goods, housewares and craft supplies. I handpick everything in the shop myself -- and I'm proud to say the most common compliment I hear from customers is that I have a great eye!
Working full time as a high school art teacher has made running a brick and mortar shop challenging! The hardest part is juggling the myriad of tasks that a successful business requires: staying on top of social media, keeping store displays fresh and exciting, bookkeeping, acquiring inventory, scheduling classes and pop-ups, and a million other tiny details! I'm passionate about being a shop owner (and a bit neurotic, too) so somehow it all gets done :)
I would say that it's important to surround yourself with creative, hardworking and supportive people who understand your passion. Having a strong network of makers, designers, trendsetters and small business owners has been invaluable to me. Vintanthromodern wouldn't exist without the contributions of these people - it takes a village!

February has been packed with events! Every Sunday we have crafting classes as part of our Sunday Brunch Craft Series. Our craft studio is small so each class only has 6-8 spots and they fill up pretty quickly. Come nibble on brunch snacks and sip mimosas while crafting in our light filled, and cozy modern craft space.

Northeast Nutmeg – handmade candles
Poor & Pretty – apothecary products
Cinder + Salt – screen printed tees, ties and more
