Seller Profile: In With the Old

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Stephanie Harkins and I'm a 36 year old "momma" to a beautiful little two year old girl and a naughty kitty cat and a wife to a supportive and cute husband.  I am a vintage and antique junkie, always on the hunt looking for treasures.  

My love for items from the past started when I was little and my parents were dragging me around to antique stores.  I then decided at the ripe old age of 10 to open my own little shop in my playhouse located in my backyard.  All the neighborhood kids would come there to shop!  


What will shoppers find in your tent?
Shoppers will find vintage goods for themselves and their homes such as vintage linens, clothes, jewelry, and other vintage decorative accents.


Where do you find your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from old items that have a past and tell a story, old architecture, afternoon rides through the country, my husband and my mom.

Besides Clover, where is your favorite place to shop for art, antiques, vintage or handmade?
I love to shop on Etsy.  I also scour local flea markets, thrift stores, antique stores, yard sales and rummage sales.  It's not below me to jump out of the car to grab something off the curb or go diving into a dumpster either!

What possession do you most cherish?
I most cherish my engagement and wedding rings, my McCoy Pottery collection of over 60 pieces, and an antique quilt that my great-grandmother made by hand.

Where can people find you outside of the Clover Market?
