About the two of us

We’re Patricia and Nilah, mother and daughter, and we’re on a mission to find every piece of our collection a new home. If you have a passion for paper and crave the authentic vintage goods, then you’ve come to the right place!

 

HI! I’m Patricia, and I’ve enjoyed working in the antique and vintage biz for a lot of years. Many, many flea markets, pop ups, and ‘bricks and mortar’ shops later, I’m ready to give up hauling furniture, packing china, and rolling carpets. My focus in now zoned in on, you got it, paper! Old books, prints, maps, photos, just about any piece of paper, has always interested me and often drawn me so far away from the task at hand that it can take me hours to empty a few boxes of the stuff. I’m pretty sure you all know what I mean. I’m a hunter-gatherer. I take great satisfaction in providing my clientele with finds that get them excited and fulfill their needs. But the best thing about this new direction? Working with my talented daughter for the first time on a project of this scale. This is going to be fun! Thanks to you, for making it possible!

HI! I’m Nilah. I’m the little one in most of the pictures.

I grew up on treasure hunts. I journeyed to flea markets, antique shows, estate sales, house calls, church basements, yard sales, crammed warehouses, dusty attics, old barns, and everywhere in between with my mom. And now I’m bringing her to the internet.

I’m here because I love old books. I love looking at them, I love holding them, I love stacking them, I love reading them, I love collecting them, and I love meeting people who feel the same way. I hope you find something on this site that you love.
