About Us

We offer vintage decor, local wares & American made products/gifts from other small businesses.

Our story began at a dance in the dorm at Ball State University in the mid 1980’s. It’s there that a guy raised in Michigan & a gal born in Illinois fell in love. We married a year after graduation & settled in Michelle’s hometown of Columbia City. A few years later we were blessed with our son Connor, followed by our daughter, Kennedy to complete our family of four!

Fast forward to 2018! We were true empty nesters with two college graduate children, added our son-in-law to the mix and helped them all move to different parts of the state. We have always shared a mutual interest/respect for all things vintage. We love hearing the history & imagining the stories each item could tell. So in May of 2018, Vintage Blessed was opened in a 1969 Frolic camper, a mobile store frequenting markets, pop-ups & community events.

Thanks to our enthusiastic and supportive customers we quickly realized we needed a permanent structure for year round shopping. It was then that the Tiny Shop was built on our property and occasionally using our barn, we were open for Saturday shopping and hosting special events.
