We specialize in repurposed, shabby chic home furnishings in a rustic, French country style.
Hello, my name is Maria! Welcome to my shop! So what's my story?
I grew up on our family dairy farm in northern Michigan where my daily routine involved the milking and care-taking of a small herd of cows. Country living and homegrown values mixed with a strong work ethic is the essence of life here.
I developed a passion for all things old, vintage, primitive, and chippy! I love how these well-loved pieces tell their story with each time-worn detail.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Karl, who tolerates my obsessions with all these things, although I have to admit some days he is more tolerant than others. We currently have not been blessed with children yet, but we are excited to announce that we have decided to pursue international adoption! We ask for prayers as we take this journey!
We live in a hundred-year-old Victorian home and it has many things that might merit complaint, but I call it character and charm. I am constantly rearranging and fluffing up our space with found fleamarket and European antiques, so rather than store and hoard them all to myself, I have found great joy in moving them on to your good homes thus the reason for my little online shop here.
I hope that these treasures find themselves hopping off the shelves to be used and cherished once again! All the proceeds raised here will help fund our planned adoption.
I also host antique barn sales annually for larger finds, but for those of you far away, I am willing to work out a freight shipping or delivery plan for the bigger stuff. I invite you to follow along with my blog, rustyhinge.blogspot.com.
Please never hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have! Thank you very much for your visit and know you are welcome to come back again and again if only just to say hi!
