    Description

    Jen runs three online vintage shops on Etsy. The first shop opened in 2008 with a nice mix of vintage. Several months later she niched down and started a vintage milk glass shop, and soon after that, a vintage china shop.
    Jen’s passion for objects with character and history started when she was little and would visit my Great Aunt Esther. She had a beautiful 250+ year old homestead in Rye, New Hampshire. It was a gorgeous home filled with many antiques.
    Jen is a proud member of the EtsyVintageTeam and the VestiesTeam. She’s also a proud mom of three, Katherine, Mark and Lindsey. AND Lindsey just had a new baby, Oliver whom she adores!
    You can visit all of Jen’s vintage shops on Etsy. The are JensCloset, TheChinaGirl and MyMilkGlassShop. In our talk, she shares how she set up her shops, sources and prices her items, and how she attracts attention to her online shops.
