The Merry Market

The Merry Market is a home based treasure trove of vintage loveliness, based in Aurora Ontario. The Merry Market is me returning (kind of) to my retail roots while being a working artist and stay-at-home mum. My only expectation is that this venture will be a sanity-saver.

I've been thrifting, wearing and using vintage since Grade 9 and I'm long out of high school. A little bit about credentials - I've been employed in large and small retail operations and coffee shops since the age of 17 and worked a real grown-up job at NSCAD in Halifax. I've been buying and selling on eBay since 1998 and have always maintained a 100% rating.

Second-hand shopping is like treasure hunting in my books. My own home is full of treasures but the passion to bring home more and find loving owners who were just dying for that piece or who just want to find their own gateway to this addictive, environmentally friendly, extremely stylish and fun lifestyle was too appealing. There's So many great items out there just waiting for someone to love them again!

The Merry Market will focus primarily on housewares and decor, secondarily on vintage toys and finally on fashion. Everything will be in good to excellent condition and as being a mum of two means i'm available at all and weird hours for my kids, it's likely I'll be available to chat or answer inquiries at all hours for you too!

The items will sell to the first person claiming them in the comments. Some will run by an auction type process.

A merry welcome to all who visit!
