Rebecca Wallace calls herself a “nostalgia curator,” and for the past five years, she has been selling unique mementos from the 1950s to ’90s in her store, Kitschy Business. Eva spent a Sunday afternoon with her at Vintage Inspired Lifestyle Marketplace in Burlington to talk about her obsession with thrifting and what draws her to these blasts from the past. Eva also followed Rebecca to ReSOURCE on Burlington’s Pine Street and watched as she scored cat tchotchkes, a colorful crocheted blanket and a child’s high chair.

There is so much stuff out there, and so many people doing interesting things with it. Stay tuned in upcoming months for more videos about Stories of Stuff.

Shooting dates: 2/9/20 & 2/10/20
