​Vintage Vera - a Mobile Pop-Up Shop

Women are a big part of the vintage trailering community. They do more than just CAMP and GLAMP in vintage trailers. They are restoring them, polishing them, operating food carts, vintage vendors and photo booths out of them, and memorializing them in art and jewelry. We are recognizing these women in a regular feature in the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine and here on our blog. We want to hear from you too.

​Vintage Vera is a Mobile Pop-Up Shop selling Vintage/Retro/Bohemian Fashions & Accessories out of a 1961 Glendale Glendette (made in Strathroy, Ontario) Vintage Camper NOW turned Glamper! Based out of Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. 
​

The trailer is named Vera after my Nana. My business, VINTAGE VERA, got her name in my Nana's honor. She taught me to brake for thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, flea markets, auctions, junk in the road and the occasional dumpster. I was lucky enough to have her for 36 years. She actually passed away on my birthday. A big part of my LOVE (or obsession) of the old and pre-loved is because of her. Some of my fondest memories are of Saturday mornings adventures with her, my mom and aunties and whoever else wanted to tag along. When I was about 14 she gave me my first beaded vintage hand bag and the rest is history. At last count I had over 70 vintage handbags and purses...every once in a while I try to purge them and add them to my shop inventory, but I’m not very good at it!

I love vintage finds of all kinds and the hunt for the old, unexpected and unique...beautiful vintage dresses and purses, Pyrex and barware, swag lamps and quilts. I also really love old vintage camper trailers that have been restored or made into something exciting and new again. And I’m a  Glamping (Glamorous Camping) kind of girl. I try and go glamping in the warmer months as much as possible with my young son, we always do at least one camping trip that is about 14 days and a few 2-3 days one as well. ​

Vintage Vera is a combination and dream of marrying some of my favorite things and hobbies into a small business. Something other people will enjoy and possibly even inspire them to chase or in my case tow a dream! 
I have my shop on Etsy, but the only a small amount of my actual inventory makes it to the shop posting. Best way to see what I have is to come to one of my pop-up shops. You can also Like or Follow Vintage Vera on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest!
