My name is Dana Marston and I'm the owner of Circa Dee. By day I have a corporate job and by night I scout vintage and blog about my finds. I have been collecting antiques since I was a kid. My passion for vintage, design and DIY have grown tremendously since then. I love to incorporate treasures from the past into a fresh, new functional home designs.

What will shoppers find in your tent?
Shoppers will find personal accessories like the coveted vintage cowboy boots. But primarily I sell unique accent pieces that give the home a little extra flair like luggage, tool caddies, chalkboards, enamelware, industrial scales, etc. Anything that can be repurposed to work for today's lifestyle.

Where do you find your inspiration?
Everywhere. In the commercial stores and catalogs, I see "fauxtiques" all the time and people are buying them for double what the real thing costs at venues like Clover. But these stores help to set a trend in the vintage world which inspires me when sourcing my own goods to sell. I also find inspiration on other blogs, in design magazines & boutiques. There's a world of inspiration out there!

Besides Clover, where is your favorite place to shop for art, antiques, vintage or handmade?
From city to country to coastal...I recently visited the Brooklyn Flea and found that to be a really fun shopping venue. I also enjoy antiquing in Adamstown and Cape May. I shop all over the tri-state area in search of great finds.
What possession do you most cherish?
My grandmother's French Provincial bedroom set that is currently in my guest bedroom. I have considered redoing it but I don't know that I ever will. I have a photo of her getting ready for her wedding at the very mirror that I now own.

Where can people find you outside of the Clover Market?
