About

Hello and a heartfelt welcome to all who cherish the beauty and stories of vintage finds. We are located at 22 Bayview Ave, Stonington CT 06378 in unit 68B of the Velvet Mill. This store is not just a business; it is a heartfelt tribute to my mother, a celebration of our family's history, and an integral part of a lively and creative hub. Stonington Vintage is born from cherished memories with my mother and sister Diana, exploring the fun world of vintage finds. These experiences went beyond collecting items; they were about creating lasting, precious memories. This legacy also touched my son, Luke, an "old soul" who appreciates the rich stories and heritage of different eras, a love he fostered through his experiences with his grandmother. Her wisdom and keen eye for vintage beauty not only taught him about the Martini heritage but also instilled in him a profound respect for the craftsmanship and narratives of the past.

Tragically, in 2009, a year that also brought the joy of expecting my daughter, Laura, we unexpectedly lost my mother at the young age of 63. Stonington Vintage is a dedication to her memory, embodying her passion for vintage treasures and the invaluable insights she shared about each piece's beauty and historical significance.

I am also incredibly grateful to be part of The Velvet Mill community. This historic mill, now a bustling center for unique shops, eateries, and artists, provides a perfect setting for Stonington Vintage. Here, the past and present come together, offering a unique experience to all who visit.

Our logo, a martini glass, holds special significance, reflecting my mother's family name, Martini. This symbolizes not only our specialty in vintage glassware but also the rich legacy we cherish and continue to build upon.

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Together, let's honor the past and weave new stories into the tapestry of our lives.
