Lovely vintage candle holders. I love the non-uniform two tone patina on them. I think they'd look stunning with tall tapered candles. Looking forward to using them for tablescaping for dinner parties.

What's in a name?

When my only daughter married and had two sweet little boys, I knew that I had to start parting with all those girly things I saved from when she was young. Since I already had a handmade shop on etsy, and the vintage section had just been added, it made sense to start there. The name "mailbox vintage" came to me as I was sorting through the more than 100 cards and letters my late dad, a mailman, (aka "Lynchie") saved from our correspondence over the years, since we lived miles apart. To know that he treasured them as much as we treasured him just made me smile. So, I just named the shop after him...treasures from our mailbox to yours. And of course, it gives me an excuse to keep searching for more great vintage!

The third daughter of 11 children, I run the shop but he is my inspiration, along with my mom, still thriving, who taught all of us to see potential in everything, and for that matter, everyone. When "Lynchie" saw people tossing out good old stuff on his mail route, he and mom rescued it and restored it to its original beauty for our humble home. We grew up learning to plant from seed, turn fabric scraps into quilts, refinish furniture, bake from scratch and do most anything "the old-fashioned way". Whenever we siblings get together even now, the conversation inevitably includes tales of our latest finds...whether "trash picked" or discovered at a thrift shop or tag sale..and what we did with them. We all have some of those original Lynchie trash-picked treasures in our homes today, and that innate desire to discover, re-purpose and create more lives on.

Here's to happy hunting for years to come! Check out our handmade shop on Etsy called “glorygivers “ for meaningful gifts with eternal truths.

Owner, Curator

Third of eleven children, and like my dad, Lynchie, I love old things and the thrill of the hunt. Tag sales, thrift stores, side of the road... you name it. I especially enjoy matching them up with their new owners who do the virtual hunt on Etsy.
Lynchie

Inspiration

My dad was a mailman, so we were always on a tight budget for our large family. By bringing home and refinishing treasures from his route that others left at the curb, we were able to have a beautifully furnished home, rich in history and character.
Mom

Encourager

This beautiful lady is such a faithful encourager! Despite having 11 children, she still makes me feel like her favorite, and I know each of my siblings would say the same. So blessed to call her mom!
Keith

Better Half

Most importantly, my husband helps with the day to day details whether it's trips to the Post Office, minor repairs or just working around the inventory. He even brakes for thrift shops. :-) I could not continue without his blessing and support.
