In my essay titled “Vee Get Too Soon Old…Undt Too Late Schmart” I tried to explain a little about the history with our attraction to buying old stuff:

Some years back in addition to being obsessed with each other, we learned that we both shared another obsession…old stuff and collecting old stuff…

And when tragedy struck and the “in sorrow” part was put to the test, I decided we needed something to do to distract us in our time of grieving, so I got a Dorchester County, Maryland business license and rented a corner of antique store in Cambridge, Maryland and Christiansen’s Antiques and Collectibles was born.

Soon we expanded to a second location in Sterling, Virginia and then a third in Lucketts, Virginia…

Though we no longer sell antiques at any rented locations, we do continue to operate our business on a smaller scale online. We now call it Kim’s Vintage Cool Stuff. Most everything we buy now is intended to be sold with an occasional item getting squirreled away when I am not looking.

Kim’s Vintage Cool Stuff is our online Ebay store.
