Do you trust people who don’t appreciate nostalgia, antiques or vintage? 👻🤣 I’m a little wary — yet I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t have at least one heirloom. #vintage #antique #thrifting #writer #upcycle by @whitco_vintage

I love vintage and antique books. I gotta say this one is ahead of its time. #vintage #antique #vintage books by @whitco_vintage

I notice a lot of customers shop this way too! I’ve seen people buy vintage sports jersey’s that don’t fit because they had the same one as a child. Or vintage bakeware because their grandmother used the same during the holidays. Antique cookie jars from grandma’s house, or that ceramic planter! Do you spend on sentimental value too? #vintage #antique #thrifting #writer #upcycle by @whitco_vintage

I love combining the romance and craftsmanship of the past with some of the benefits and sensibility of the future. A Vintemporist! Where is your overlap? Mostly vintage? Mostly modern with a little vintage sprinkled in? #vintage #antique #thrifting #writer #upcycle by @whitco_vintage

Watching their confidence bloom is my greatest joy. ❤️

If you don’t know who @joedreamz is and you live in SoCal you need to get out more often. I had so much fun chatting with him. Everyone there felt like friends, even though I had only just met them. I share a lot of my story as a writer and what keeps me going. Tune in! Link is in my bio. by @whitco_vintage

I just bought that piece in the second pic! I’m in love! Any antique with etched glass and my heart goes pitter patter. #vintage #antique #thrifting #writer #upcycle by @whitco_vintage

Took me a while to get part 2 of my Texas antiquing up. I had so many videos of this antique mall just outside Waco, TX. At 32,000 square feet I could’ve spent days in here. I will say everything in Texas is cheaper than California — except for antiques. ☹️ The prices are premium but they had great stuff! Probably best that I flew — some of that stuff would’ve come home with me. #vintage #antique #thrifting #writer #upcycle by @whitco_vintage

Anyone else excited? I don’t care if we haven’t had Labor Day. You all know I brought some home. Vintage Halloween is hard to find so I just go for the real natural deal. ❤️#fallvibes #antique #vintage by @whitco_vintage

Texas antiquing part 1! The bummer is I can’t take any of this stuff back. I didn’t bring a big suitcase. 😩Terrible planning on my part. by @whitco_vintage

Wouldn’t it be awesome if all antique malls did this? I saw a similar sign at an antique mall this weekend and it gave me a giggle. 😜#vintage #antique #thrifting #upcycle #writer by @whitco_vintage

As a SoCal native I’m embarrassed to say I had never been to @grannys_attic_antiques in Temecula. Heard about it a million times but it’s 45 minutes north of where I live in San Diego. Well worth the trip! Fun place to get lost in. They have vintage for every style you can imagine and it’s beautifully maintained and curated. As you can see by my last picture I made it to Palm Desert with time to spare. That’s called antique shopping efficiency. Do you guys have antique malls like this in your area? Please share so we can put them on our antique road trip bucket lists. #vintage #antique #thrifting #upcycle by @whitco_vintage
