Why Vintage?

My boy doesn't understand my love of vintage. Like most people, when he hears vintage, he just thinks old and used. I think quality. I think craftsmanship. I think made to stand the test of time. Modern wares are meant to break down, tear up, and fall apart in 5 years, so that you have to replace it and spend your money all over again. Things today have that cookie cutter, everything looks the same feel. I don't like to look like everyone else. I'm my own person, and don't like to appear as I just came off an assembly line. I don't like my home looking like the centerfold of some interior design magazine. We are a disposable society, and I'm not disposable.

And that's why I love vintage.
