Occupation Homemaker/Small Business
Location Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Introduction My name is Amy. I am a God loving, simple living gal living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with my Hubby of 23 years and our 4 children, son 21, daughters 20, 8 and 2. Our children's ages? Yes, God's ways are strange and wonderful... My business... When my daughter was 14 or 15 she came up with the name Fresh Vintage. I do love old things not only for what they look like but rather what they represent. To me pretty vintage kitchen finds represent a simpler world. To find a great piece of furniture with good bones and paint it, making it better is good thrift. To search high and low for gently used children's dress clothes, wash them meticulously and sell them at a reduced price compared to their new counterpart is good stewardship. Doing all this while being able to be home with my children is priceless.
Interests I love God, my family, and my Catholic faith. I enjoy being a homemaker, making things and thrifting. I have a small business where I sell handpainted furniture, vintage collectibles, many different types of handsewn items and a great variety of gently used dress clothes for the litlle girls in your life. I really enjoy this business and love that our whole family is involved in some way. We have just moved to a bigger space at Building Character in downtown Lancaster. It has always been my dream to have my own storefront boutique.
Favorite Movies I love watching movies! It all started as a little girl on Sunday afternoons watching Abbott and Costello, Shirley Temple, Danny Thomas, Fred and Ginger, oh and I almost forgot to mention Elvis-lol to name a few. I still enjoy a good movie on a Sunday afternoon. If I get a chance to wacth something by myself lately. I'll look at Masterpiece Theatre on PBS. I so enjoyed Downtown Abbey this season, can't wait for more of that!!!
Favorite Music Contemporary Christian, Light Classical.
Favorite Books When it comes to books I read mostly non fiction. Books that will help me in my vocation as wife and mother. I also read tons of decorating and craft books and magazines. I do love a good novel now and again.
