While the shop, Three Chicks Vintage started less than a year ago, in reality, we three chicks have been around a long time (some longer than others)!
3CV is my kid sister Diana, myself (the grande dame) and my youngest daughter, Katie, who is only 15 years old. Katie grew up being passed between Mommy's hip and Auntie Di's hip as we trudged through antique shops, thrift stores and tag sales. Pretty soon she got too heavy and was forced to walk on her own, by which time she could spot a perfect piece of Dragon Ware from 20 paces and navigate a crowded antique shop without touching a thing. The child was trained and we were proud!
At some point over the years our husbands started to grumble about all 'stuff' we were bringing home, and to be honest, we were running out of room to stash it, so the idea of a shop was conceived, and in the Fall of 2008, was born.
Like any obsessive vintage hoarder, we come across all kinds of things but can't possibly buy it all, but we will do our best to keep our eyes open for a special request, so drop us a line!
