About Us
We're on a mission is to help you create an authentic home space, one piece at a time.
I'm Mary Lou and am so glad you found Rush Creek Vintage! As a lifetime collector of dust and imperfection, I've sold antiques and vintage pieces for over 18 years to people just like you. Our customers are smart and thoughtful. They ignore the latest trends and share our joy for intentional living by using previously made objects in their home.
Our Philosophy
Everyone deserves to live in a home that's more than mere shelter. A place that is 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 living space. Hand-picking pieces from decades past is not just a job, it's why we JUMP out of bed each morning! We go after old stuff that is still relevant for modern living. Nothing too fussy but with a touch of quirkiness, our pieces are meant to be used.
It’s time to ditch the conventional rules about decorating and decide what matters most. Want to surround yourself with intimacy and character? Then bring on the family heirlooms and flea market finds. You'll never look back.
You’re not going to win any races developing your space intentionally. It takes time to dream, explore and experiment. Mixing newer pieces with older elements can be quite striking aesthetically, lending an unconstrained, informal vibe that is yours alone.
Our vintage finds hold secrets from the past, along with glorious imperfection and swoon-worthy craftsmanship. Big Bonus: buying pre-owned vintage pieces helps break the cycle of throw-away consumerism while reducing environmental impact.
Our Team
The 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!

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.

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 :)
