about me

smiling shop owner

I’m Mae, a lifelong cherisher of old books n’ things — a passion that goes back five generations. It’s the stories that stoke my fire.

      stories attached to our treasured keepsakes

      stories we tell about ourselves,

      stories that — from ancient to modern —

               simultaneously reflect and shape culture

It is such an honor to facilitate connections between people and the treasures they seek — especially the books they cherished as children! The stories of childhood stay in our hearts, and there’s nothing like holding that cherished piece of ourselves in our hands again.  

My other pursuits are life-long education, writing, spending time in nature, and practicing yoga. I’d love to connect with you, so feel to reach out, share reading journeys on Good Reads, sign up for blogs, and/or follow on socials. 

Thanks for visiting and for supporting small shops! I just love your vintage style!
