Hi, I’m Lori—and I believe the best things come with a little history.

What began in 2013 as a simple search for well-made furniture for my young children quickly turned into a lifelong love of vintage. I still remember the thrill of that first thrift store visit—where a row of antique dressers, solid wood and full of soul, stopped me in my tracks. They were rich with character and craftsmanship, once cherished but now overlooked. I didn’t see cast-offs—I saw stories, waiting to be told again.

That moment lit a spark in me.

Over the years, I’ve become a devoted treasure hunter, spending weekends at flea markets, antique stores, estate sales, and tucked-away barns—always on the lookout for pieces that whisper of the past. I gravitate toward items that feel soulful… the kind that stir a memory, or bring a smile, or instantly make a house feel like home.

Today, I share those finds with others who value the beauty of the old and the art of the collected. Through my website, and in person at Midwest Memories, in Tipp City, OH I offer thoughtfully curated vintage collections, seasonal offerings, and timeless treasures—all lovingly chosen to help you create a home that feels personal, storied, and truly your own.

Whether you’re a collector, a decorator, or simply a dreamer who loves a bit of nostalgia, I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for something special, I’m always happy to help you find it.

Because around here, it’s not just about what you buy—it’s about how it makes you feel.
