Our story - Renee & Jason
———-////—————
First up - Jason:
Growing up in Southern Arizona, I was surrounded by living history my whole childhood - Native American, Cowboy, Route 66, Cavalry, The OK Corral, etc. - was a daily part of my growing up. Along with that, I lived just outside of a large military base, so military surplus and all its stories were woven deep into my life and grew to influence my own desire to serve.
As a teenager and young adult I got into comic books, action figures, games, and lots of movie and music memorabilia. I collected that media for many years and just started to part with some during Covid lockdown.
Incidentally I met an amazing woman during that time period and she has a great passion for vintage, antiques, repurposing, and just random artistic displays of skill and beauty.
Fast forward to the present. We have combined forces not just in life and love, but also a love of adventure. In these adventures, we find our “treasures” - our antiques, our links to the past, our small glimpses into bygone eras, and more importantly, unique pieces that made past lives easier to live and love.

Now Renee:
I have loved antiques and dusty old stuff since I was a kid. My Grandmother used to take me with her to all manner of estate, garage, yard, rummage and , antique sales, hourse and stores with old furniture – all the time. She collected antiques and her house was FILLED with them. She had such a flair for seeing the pieces and displaying them!
One of my favorite memories as a child is of the Barrister bookcase she had in the living room. That bookcase was where I discovered the magic of reading - books by Zane Grey and James Oliver Curwood and all the Britannica Encyclopedias. I still have Kazan and Baree, Son of Kazan books and one Zane Grey that lived in her bookcase - now it lives on mine.
