About Us
We're here to help you create a living space that reflects your values and vibes.
I'm Mary Lou - glad to meet you! As a lifetime collector of dust and imperfection, I've sold antiques and vintage pieces for over 20 years to people just like you. Our customers are smart and thoughtful, sharing our joy for collected living by using previously owned objects in their home.
Philosophy
Everyone deserves a home that's more than mere shelter. A place that’s peaceful, cozy and beautiful where you are free to be yourself. A place that evolves with you.
Rush Creek Vintage is here to help you find the perfect timeworn treasure for your collected home. We hunt down the crunchy old stuff that is still relevant for modern living. Nothing too fussy, of course; we want our pieces to be used.
Surround yourself with intimacy, character plus a touch of quirkiness. Mixing new and old can be quite striking aesthetically, lending an unconstrained, informal vibe that is yours alone.
Values
We support diversity, equity and inclusion. We work hard to protect our environment. We believe women's bodily autonomy is a fundamental right. We defend the disenfranchised. Kindness, respect and patience are core values we embrace. (just so ya know who you’re dealing with!)
Team
Our team here at Rush Creek Vintage is small but mighty, consisting of two humans and a feline. I run the show sourcing, cleaning, researching, photographing and managing the website. When not in the garden, Mr. B. does the heaving lifting (kinda), offering considerable unsolicited advice. Our rescue, Little Cat, supervises the action by getting in the way whenever she can, sleeping 20 hours a day and photobombing our product shots.
All in all, we get it done with humor and a lot of patience.
Enjoy browsing! If you have any questions or requests, reach out. Seriously. We answer our emails.
Cheers! Mary Lou
Let customers speak for us
Buying vintage (for me) is about keeping things circular and giving home to objects that have weathered time and still have stories to tell...This is especially true of art. There is something special about buying a painting that was made decades or even a century ago. It's a glimpse into worlds past and the artists, whether professional or dilettantes, that have passed.
This painting in particular drew me in with its lovely pastoral setting and air of mystery. The woman strolling towards the church is both captivating and mysterious...we don't know who she is or what she's doing, but we want to know more! This piece is going above a vintage dresser on my landing and I cannot wait to show it off!

Beautiful classic book set in excellent condition. Great shop - well loved. Thank you!
My shaving mirror with it's ghostly reflection was a Christmas present to me. I love the smoky shadows and history it has brought to my home. My treasure was packed and shipped with care and it arrived in perfect condition. I'm very pleased with this wonderful company and I will be purchasing from them again and again. Thank you!
The plates arrived in very good condition and as expected. I received an email from the seller so I knew when tbey shipped and arrived timely.
Both arrived no damage. I must comment on you packaging. Just great. I have been looking for one of these for a long time. Use them as storage jars for guest bathroom. Thank you now I have 4. Thanks again
It has been great, and it was also shipped in great packaging.
These were described perfectly and priced reasonably.
Love my items! Brought me back to my childhood.
It’s is a gift so I won’t be using it. But I know my friend will love this charming little planter. She is Dutch and loves wooden shoes of any kind - even mosaic. Thank you, Mary Lou! You are super talented.
The collage is gorgeous and fits in perfectly with my "wall of bird art." It's a standout piece. Also, the artist was communicative and helped me in getting this beauty.
Bought these for my grandma and it made her day! Well packaged and super fast shipping, too :)
