We have a fun new, local business to share with you today.....LampsAndAshtrays. One of my friends recently got married and decided to turn her and her husbands love of collecting into a business.
LampsAndAshtrays, opened in September 2013, is a web-based retail store specializing in rare vintage finds at great prices. Offering a wide variety of unique items, LampsAndAshtrays has it all! Concentrating mostly on the 1950s-1980s, there's everything from collectible ceramics and housewares to furniture to vinyl records and more! And of course, lamps and ashtrays.
Husband and wife duo, Joseph and Michelle Stroehle, of Davenport, Iowa, started their web-based business to share all of their rare vintage finds with the rest of the world. Starting at an early age, both Joe and Michelle loved going to garage sales and flea markets, and always had an appreciation for handmade and one-of-a-kind items. Joe and Michelle's love of "old stuff" drew the couple together immediately, and thrift shopping has always been their favorite pastime. With their experience, they've gained knowledge of well-known artists and furniture makers, making their love for thrifting grow even more. The couple works well as a team, one always seeing something the other missed. Refinishing vintage furniture is also no problem for this team, with Joe's carpentry skills and Michelle's eye for design. Weaknesses of the couple are mid-century modern décor and furniture, and of course lamps and ashtrays!
