It’s funny how sometimes when you collect things, you also collect memories. Better yet, some of those things have had memories and lives of their own when they’re antiques.
When we shared our very first RVT Collection, RVT Collection 1, we spoke to the idea and our why behind our latest online web shops, Collections.

So, when Valentine’s Day comes around, I get excited to gift little tokens of love to my favorite people.

We love the antiques business for so many reasons. The main one being the stories behind the merchandise we buy and sell. We've always felt the souls of those that either made or owned vintage pieces are past down as well. So, when we had a chance to buy a large lot of items from the Shudde Bros., we couldn't wait to find out their story.

This Father’s Day, I’m reminiscing on the traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. I consider myself blessed to have had the absolute best father in the world. Growing up, it was always special to be able to use my creativity to make a gift by hand for him. I think I can speak for my father and certainly for Smoot in saying that there’s no better present than one that’s made from love and thoughtfulness. Whether that looks like handmade notes or intentionally carving out time together, I always love seeing our children spoil Smoot in their own special ways each year.

Our Mother's Day traditions are simple, but so dear to my heart. Smoot and our children always prepare a special breakfast in bed before we head off to church. Then we enjoy brunch together and spend time as a family for the rest of the afternoon. Days like Mother's Day remind me of how blessed I am and how much I cherish our time together.

As long as we can remember, we've always had a thing for numeric typography. It has always spoken to us from the very beginning when we first started with the various ways we've incorporated numbers into the decor of No. 1450 cottage. I think it's such a cool aspect in design, and it continues to catch our eye, especially with authentic pieces like this vintage metal sign.

Back in its day, this vintage French sign may have served as a signal post for military traffic or a town road sign. Today, it serves as a sign post from the past with the its vintage paint and worn edges.
We found this cool sign in the French town of Marseilles, which is a beautiful beach town on the water. As we explored and took in the sights, you could really feel the soul of this old French town. It was such an incredible experience visiting this amazing place, much less being able to shop for priceless antiques there.
This vintage sign is an authentic French piece. Today there is a tremendous amount of vintage and antique knock-offs, so there's something to be said about the soul and stories carried with an authentic piece. We think this sign was used on a military road, so each man or woman who drive by it had a story and a reason for being there. That's the soul that these pieces carry with them throughout the years.
Found in the French town of Nimes, this beautifully aged "L'illustration" book dates back to 1891. From the illustrations and articles on the pages, this bound piece of French antiquity seems to be a periodical or world book.

One of the main things we look for in a Modern Vintage Style piece is the story behind it. We love to gather pieces with a heritage that can be repurposed into something new, while still maintaining the historical integrity. These sage-scented Antique Snuff Candles are the perfect example.
