About QuirkyFriend
I have been buying, collecting and enjoying vintage for over 35 years and selling online since 1997. I come from a long line of collectors (hoarders) and some of my earliest memories involve going to garage sales & second hand stores.
I started out in retail pricing vintage and collectibles for thrift stores in the early/mid 1990s. Since then, I’ve been a power seller on eBay, owned a brick & mortar store, ran a website, sold out of various booths at antique malls, and opened QuirkyFriendVintage (formerly capricornOnevintage) on Etsy in 2009.
Over the years I have sold to movie studios, tv shows, prop departments, set designers, fashion designers, magazines and museums. Along with this website, I run an eBay store & two Etsy shops, with thousands of sales and many happy customers.
I also create digital art & handmade items with a retro kitsch vibe. These are currently for sale on Etsy, some are available here now and more will be added here soon. In addition to vintage, I offer a selection of modern collectibles that fit the same eclectic style.
