My Story:
I love a good story. And, glassware can tell an amazing story of families, tradition, memories and making memories. I started collecting over 20 years ago and love finding treasures. My brother and I used to collect treasures together up until his death in 2013. As part of discovering joy in my grief, I started Chinkapin Farm Vintage (my physical store in Springfield, MO) in 2015 and began Four40Four Vintage Etsy Store as the online store sister. I love connecting with people and hearing about their story - the story of the pieces I find while out traveling around at sales and the story I hear from a customer that finds that one piece that their aunt had at Christmas. We all have at least one story and that one vintage item can bring the love back like it happened yesterday. I personally love FireKing and McKee glassware along with 1940's pottery. I believe that vintage treasures, especially kitchen glassware, can help interweave the stories and histories of our families from then to the present to pass on to our future. Find Chinkapin Farm on Facebook and Instagram. And, if something in the store catches your eye - I'd love to hear your story. Why Chinkapin? My Grandfather's farm inspired the name as it has several of the rare Chinkapin Oak trees. Once numerous throughout Missouri. A special and beautiful oak tree with sweet acorns (deer and wildlife are especially fond of) and hard to find like some of the vintage treasures you'll find on your visit. I discovered this beautiful oak on a walk with my Dad on Christmas Eve and he shared memories of Grandpa and growing up on the farm. A special Thank You to my Dad and Mom for helping to this dream started and Love to my Brother, Daniel - whom inspires me from heaven to share our love for "all things vintage".
