I've always loved old things. I grew up in a house full of them, thanks to a mother with a passion for antiques and junk shops. She taught me to see the beauty and value of these objects, and along the way I've developed my own unique aesthetic. My shop is a place for me to display and share the objects I've found, to highlight their beauty, and to put into practice my belief that there's great value in using and appreciating what the past has already made available to us.

I started this business in 2013 while living in Boston, MA in the beautiful neighborhood of Jamaica Plain (and I named my shop after the Forest Hills subway station I passed through daily). Not long after, I relocated to Raleigh, NC, and spent many sunny weekend mornings at the Raleigh Flea Market hunting for treasures. I had wonderful luck in both cities with my thrifting endeavors, but I've recently moved back to my home state of New Jersey and I'm eager to see what treasures I can find here in the mid-Atlantic. The thrill of the hunt is one of the most exciting parts of the experience, and my Etsy shop has enabled me to transform my hunting from a hobby to a business that has traveled up and down the east coast and has grown with me over the past several years. I couldn't be happier, and I hope you'll enjoy the fruits of my labor as well!
