Q: Tell our lovely readers a bit about yourself. Is buying and selling vintage your full-time gig or a hobby? How and when did you get started in this business?
Although vintage buying will always be a hobby and favorite pastime, I made the decision to become a “hobbypreneur”, as my father calls it, last February when working on an estate sale managed by my parents company, Riverbend Estate Sales. It was a gem of an estate, full of wonderful vintage treasures. While organizing the vintage goods into a single room, I realized I had a much wider base knowledge than I’d ever credited myself. I was enjoying the organization, pricing and research so much I decided to combine my love for events planning with my favorite hobby of vintage shopping, thus Miss Ohio.

Q: Are there any items you’ve regretted selling and wish you would have kept for yourself?
There are many items that I find and appreciate dearly, but I keep very little. I do have a favorite belt, “the miracle belt” we call it, that every one of our models has her eye on, but I’ve managed to keep their paws off! I’d definitely miss that one. I think the hardest part is finding amazing Aigner shoes that are a half size too small. Bummer!

Q: Pick one and tell us about it: Weirdest, most valuable, or most satisfying find?
Our most valuable finds in dollars and cents are probably bakelite, specific leathers and furs or some special Austrian crystals. However, our most satisfying finds tend to be our Aigner items. We’re pretty into it, and the more we find, the better they get! It went from a favorite designer to an all out obsession.
