The thrill of the hunt

Part of the reason why I got hooked into collecting and showcasing vintage items is the fact that searching for quality vintage items is incredibly addictive!

The searches have taken me everywhere, from your local thrift shop, yard sales, to auctions. These include in Singapore and overseas as I find the variety better when you don’t limit yourself to geographical boundaries. And really, you never know where the next gem might turn up!

Yes, it can be time-consuming and one must have a good eye to be able to discern the true vintage from the trash, the excitement of spotting something beautiful hidden among or behind other trinkets and novelty items is indeed something to revel in.

As they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! You never know what you’ll find!
