Vendor Spotlight – Tina Meismer

How did you get started at Vintage Marketplace?

After quitting my corporate job I knew I wanted something completely different. I had always found thrifting as a form of escape, hunting for treasures. As a newbie to this industry, I jumped at the opportunity for a booth at Vintage Marketplace when Kim opened in 2018.

Do you have an area of specialty?

I stick with things that make my heart happy; kitchenware, home decor, clothing and small collectables.

What is your favorite part of reselling?

When my items find their way to their next forever home.
