One of the joys that truly ignite my passion for my small business is the opportunity to connect with incredible individuals. Through an ephemera group, I had the delight of meeting a remarkable woman named Carol, who resides in the picturesque countryside of rural France. Her kindness and expertise are genuinely inspiring. Carol’s frequent visits to the Brocante are a treasure trove for discovering exquisite antique and vintage treasures. I feel incredibly fortunate that she has graciously offered to source for me, sharing her finds with me all the way here in Maryland. The anticipation of receiving my first package from her has me overjoyed! The photo below showcases a few of these precious treasures that are now on their way to my shop!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! ☀️

This weekend is a big one for Rescued and Reimagined Relics, LLC!

I’ll be consolidating my spaces at This & That Consignments & Gifts, and I couldn’t do it without the help of my sister and Mark. Their support is making this transition possible, and I’m incredibly grateful.

Going forward, I’ll be keeping my larger booth, where you’ll find both my creative supplies and my carefully curated collection of antique and vintage treasures all in one place.

But that’s not the only exciting change! I’ll also be opening my studio here in Glen Burnie for shopping by appointment and special events. This will give me the opportunity to connect with customers in a more personal way and showcase even more unique finds.

And last but certainly not least—my website is finally nearing launch! If all goes as planned, it will be ready today, with a live launch tomorrow. The site has had a major glow-up and now reflects my new vision and direction for the business.

I know I’ve been a little quieter than usual lately, and this is why. Running a small business often means working behind the scenes, making changes, solving challenges, and building for the future. As many of you know, I also continue to navigate ongoing health challenges and treatments. Because of that, I have become very intentional about creating a business model that allows me to continue doing what I love while managing my health and conserving my energy.

These changes are designed to help me serve my customers better, create a more personal shopping experience, and continue growing a business that I am truly passionate about.

Thank you for following along on this journey, supporting my small business, engaging with my posts, sharing my work, and encouraging me along the way. Your support means more than you know, and it has helped make these exciting next steps possible.

Stay tuned for website details, studio events, and lots of new treasures coming soon!

📚 DID YOU KNOW? Protecting Antique Book Plates, Engravings & Ephemera Matters!

Many antique book plates, engravings, lithographs, and paper treasures have survived for 100–200+ years—but how they’re stored today will determine whether they survive another century.

Here are a few simple ways collectors can help preserve these pieces of history:

✔️ Use Acid-Free Paper & Backing Boards
Regular paper and cardboard contain acids that can cause yellowing, brittleness, and staining over time. Acid-free materials help protect delicate antique paper from deterioration.

✔️ Avoid Direct Sunlight
UV rays are one of the biggest enemies of antique paper. Even indirect sunlight can cause fading and discoloration over time.

✔️ Handle with Clean, Dry Hands
The oils from our skin can transfer to paper and leave marks that may become permanent.

✔️ Store Flat Whenever Possible
Older paper can become fragile. Storing pieces flat in archival sleeves or portfolios helps prevent creases, tears, and stress on the fibers.

✔️ Choose Archival Framing Materials
If displaying an engraving or book plate, use acid-free mats, UV-protective glass, and archival backing to protect your investment.

Why does this matter?

Many antique engravings and book plates were printed on high-quality cotton rag paper, which is often far more durable than modern paper. With proper care, these beautiful pieces can be enjoyed for generations to come.

At Rescued and Reimagined Relics, LLC, preservation is just as important as presentation. When I frame, package, or store antique paper items, I use acid-free materials whenever possible to help protect these historical treasures for future generations. I believe we are not just collectors—we are temporary caretakers of history.

Whether it’s a 19th-century engraving, an antique book plate, or a rare piece of ephemera, I strive to ensure each piece receives the care and respect it deserves.

Do you collect antique paper, maps, engravings, book plates, or ephemera? I’d love to hear what treasures you’ve rescued!

📚 Authentic 1918 Yale University Press Historical Volume

“The Eve of the Revolution”
by Carl Becker
The Chronicles of America – Volume II
Published 1918

There is something truly special about antique books like this one. Over 100 years old, this beautifully preserved Yale University Press volume is part of the highly respected Chronicles of America series — a collection created to document and preserve early American history through elegant literary craftsmanship.

Bound in its original deep navy cloth with stunning gilt detailing, this book features tissue-guarded portrait plates throughout. The delicate translucent tissue papers were intentionally placed over illustrations to protect the artwork from ink transfer and wear — a hallmark of higher-quality early 20th century publishing. Many of these tissue guards were removed or damaged over time, making intact examples especially desirable to collectors today.

The deckled page edges, decorative gilt binding, and preserved tissue guards are all part of what makes antique books from this era so collectible and visually striking.

Why I priced this piece the way I did:
The current fair market value for comparable examples in this condition is approximately 💰 $95–$125. I intentionally priced this piece below fair market value at $88 plus shipping to offer my customers an opportunity to own an authentic and beautifully preserved piece of American publishing history at an exceptional value.

This is not simply an “old book.” It is a beautifully preserved piece of American history with strong decorative appeal, collectible craftsmanship, and historical significance.

Perfect for:
• Americana collections
• Historic library décor
• Interior styling
• Revolutionary War enthusiasts
• Antique book collectors
• Shelf and coffee table display

Condition:
Beautiful antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Tight spine, strong binding, intact gilt detail, deckled edges, and tissue guards remain present.

Hi friends 🤍

I’ve been a little under the weather lately and am currently waiting on my next immunotherapy treatment. During seasons like this, I’ve learned to listen to my body and give myself grace when I need to slow down a bit.

Please know that I’m still quietly working behind the scenes whenever my energy allows — researching, cleaning, tagging, curating beautiful finds, and continuing to work on my website updates little by little. There are so many exciting things coming soon, and I truly cannot wait to share them with you.

I also wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for supporting my small business by following along, liking, commenting, sharing, and engaging with my posts. Your kindness, encouragement, and support mean more than you know — especially during the harder days. 🤍

My website is still being updated and refreshed, but I’m hoping the new version will be released very soon!

Meanwhile… I received some happy mail! Nothing like Antique and vintage ephemera from France 🇫🇷. I have connected with a wonderful woman named Carol who lives in France and will be sourcing for me!

Thank you for being here and supporting Rescued and Reimagined Relics, LLC.
