Our July dealer of the month is also our youngest dealer!
Meet Bodhi, who just turned 13 and is about to start 7th grade. Bodhi was born into an antique family, being the grandson of our founder and matriarch, Sue. Bodhi started his space in the shop in October of 2021 – he checked his calendar and knew exactly when! – and has been keeping busy ever since! He specializes in and stocks vintage tools, books, military stuff, old cameras (he loves the way the “old school ones” look) and all things vintage baseball related. He started collecting by going to swap meets with his mom Katie and his uncle Bryce. He also likes to hit up garage sales and loves when his family takes road trips to Texas so he can do fun picking all along the way!
His room at home is full of vintage treasures, too; he says some of his favorite things include “a collection of old baseball gloves, old soda bottles that belonged to my grandma, and a cool old small slot machine that my Uncle Bryce found”. His number one tip for antiquing is to “not to spend all your money, be sure you put some of it aside, and invest it back in your business.”
Bodhi hopes to one day be a professional baseball player and also have an antique shop of his own. Come in and check out his space -and maybe even say hello, as he helps out at the shop during the summer months!

I just met Bodhi the other day when I was in the store visiting from Arizona, I used to be a dealer there and I know Katie. He gave me a tour of his amazing space… I was just amazed about his knowledge…!
