As a long-time lover and collector of vintage clothing, accessories, décor, and knick-knacks, plus a few attempts at selling online, I opened Party Line Vintage in July, 2023. 

My shop was located in a rented space inside the Town peddler Craft & Antique mall, located in Livonia, Michigan. Although running a business within a large, successful company comes with many perks, the hard work it requires to take my space from a blank box to a well-stocked, eye-catching storefront is all my own doing. This venture has allowed me to develop my skills in garment repair, visual merchandising, digital marketing, using a point-of-sale system, and even graphic design. 

My business has been a labor of love--emphasis on both labor and love. My goal was not only to create a successful store, but one that enticed every customer to come in, take a look around, and bask in the joy of unique, vintage "wears & wares". And if they take a piece of my space home to display on a shelf or wear to their next event, then I know that the business I've created is a successful one.
