👋 I recently hit 800 followers (the organic way, 😆) so I figured I was due for a little re-introduction. Putting a face to the name. I’m Sara 👋 although some folks just call me Funky. I have been thrifting, collecting and slangin vintage since the early 2000’s y’all. I wore vintage to my high school dances, I hosted “denim decorating parties” in high school. My first job in high school was working at JoAnn Fabrics and I worked for an interior designer and ran her boutique. I guess I just love creating and celebrating beauty and art. I studied fashion in college and my first adult job was as Director of a non-profit/ manager of the social enterprise resale boutique and e-commerce. I opened an Etsy in 2008 and started doing local markets in 2012. I am a quirky creative, sensitive, social, spiritual and silly being. Curating, creating, styling is an expression from my heart. I am a lover, a pacifist and a girl’s girl. I love supporting my friends and other entrepreneurial creatives. I love to sew, garden, travel, hike, take pictures, bake and care-take. I love the little life I have created for myself in Chicago with my partner, our animals (Bug, Birdie & Bunnie) and love you all for being a part of this journey with me. Thanks for being here. 🫶🏻💓 My goal and intention is to create more funky and beautiful things and share them with you.
