Episode 91 - Why Antique Acres Is the Only Vendor Event I Still Do

In today’s episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing the story behind Antique Acres — one of my favorite vintage events of the year, and the only vendor event I still choose to do.

I’m talking about what makes Antique Acres so special, how it all started, why this event feels so different than the many shows I used to do, and how this season of life and business has taught me to simplify, pivot, and hold onto the parts that still bring me joy.

If you’ve ever outgrown something you once loved… or found yourself craving a slower, more meaningful way of creating and living… I think this episode will really resonate with you.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

•  what Antique Acres is and why people love it 
•  my old life of constantly being on the road doing vendor events 
•  why I stepped away from most shows 
•  why Antique Acres is the one I still say yes to 
•  and how this event still fills my creative cup in the best way 

If you love vintage finds, decorating, collected spaces, and the heart behind creative living, I’m so glad you’re here.

Thank you for being here!  

Keep rescuing, keep creating, and keep upycling!
