♥ making the old new again.

while at camera ready bootcamp last month, i sat across from the lovely anathalia, 

a brazilian transplant (and ex-lawyer!), now living in boston with her husband, pup &

thriving etsy shop of vintage collectibles, brilliantly called: SCAVENGENIUS.

i had a chance to ask ana about her shop, and here is what she had to say:

"old things" have always fascinated me. i have so much fun hunting for 

little treasures! i love antique fairs, flea markets and thrift stores.

 SCAVENGENIUS grew out of this fascination. i wanted to share my findings

 and show people the beauty of the old. in a time where everything seems so 

disposable, it is nice to "rescue" beautiful pieces that were forgotten

 and give them a new home. 

when i asked ana if she had a good story about one of her finds,

 she answered:

"the best story about something i sold is of a cookbook. the buyer's great great

grandmother wrote the cookbook and she wanted a copy for her daughter. she gave it

to her as a christmas present. i was really happy to read her message to me!"

and ps. how genius is that packaging?
