Hello, my name is Giovanna Trentanelli-Webb, owner of Retro By Gio, I’m a proud wife and mother living a vintage lifestyle in a modern world. I’m infatuated about the simplicity of life, values and fashions of the 1940’s & 50’s, all of which play a big part in my life and my Rockabilly / Pin-up bravura. I’m crazy about antiques and I enjoy doing DIM (did it myself) projects and decorating for the holidays. While I appreciate all things vintage I am lovesick for collectable kitchen items and pretty textiles / linens. Coming from a big Sicilian family one would understand why the “cucina” is the most important room in the house; it’s the room we gather to visit, eat good food and enjoy having a few spirits. To me nothing feels better than baking a yummy treat or cooking a nice meal in a cheerful kitchen decorated with colorful kitchen gadgets and pretty textiles & linens throughout. Over the years I’ve collected an array of retro/vintage/collectable kitchen objects and have handmade several fun and unique items all in preparation for my little business “Retro By Gio”. Thank you for visiting & Liking my page, please feel free to share it with your friends & family. Giovanna

Good evening,

I hope you are all doing well. It’s been three & half years since I’ve posted any retro items for sale. A lot has happened over that time, my husband retired from the Alaska State Troopers, we bought & sold a second home in Tennessee, we dealt with C*vid like the rest of the world, took a few awesome vacations including a month in Italy. This last December we purchased our forever dream home in New England and sold our beautiful home in SE Alaska AND this summer we’re moving. One of my dear friends asked if I was going to bring back Retro By Gio after the move. I’m SO happy she asked and it really warmed my heart that she reached out to me. The answer is YES! This fall of 2023 I will be posting retro treasures for sale on my page again and I’m so excited about it. I really missed my little business and I missed all of my loving customers. I’ll be sure to post updates after the move this July!

Thank you & Thank you for reaching out to me Alia, I appreciate it!

✨Retro Inspired Tin Breadbox✨

SOLD - I’m back....😃It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything for sale on my page. I ran across this adorable retro inspired breadbox today and just couldn’t pass it up.

This isn’t a true 1940’s breadbox as this one has screws holding it together whereas the boxes produced in the 40’s were held together with rivets. Nonetheless, this box was too cute to leave behind. This box is very clean and in great condition with no scratches or dents. The box is standard size measuring 16” long and will hold a full-size loaf of bread and other goodies.

Asking $15.00 with free local delivery. If you’re out of town I’m happy to get a shipping quote for you.

If interested please PM or text me at 1 (907) 617-6134 .

Thank you & have a Retro Day!

✨TRUE RETRO 1950's ATOMIC✨

It doesn't get anymore atomic than this! Today's special consists of three awesome pieces manufactured in 1954 & 1956 by Franciscan Ware in the Starburst & Oasis patterns. These pieces are ceramic and can be stacked for easy storage; however, I recommend placing a paper towel between them. I don't recommend placing the items in the dishwasher.
Made in the USA.

Please note that my prices are well below the average asking price as I try to keep my items affordable.

~Divided dish, 8" in dimeter, 1954 Starburst pattern in very good condition $25.00

~Covered dish, 8" in diameter, 1956 in the Oasis pattern, both dish & lid are in excellent condition $35.00

~Large Serving Bowl, 10" in diameter x 4" high, 1954 in the Starburst is in good condition but does have 2 small chips as seen in the last photo. There's also 3 tiny spots of some kind, I included them in the pic as well. The chips are small and around the edge. Due to the chips I discounted this piece at 60% off. $30.00

All pieces together $85.00

Free local delivery, out of town orders shipping is to be paid by purchaser.

If interested please call or text me at 907-617-6134.

Thank you & have a Retro Day!

Retro By Gio's Weekly Special

Late 1960's Popeil Brothers Canister Set.
Made in USA.

This is a super cheerful three piece plastic canister set manufactured in the late 1960's by Popeil Brothers of Chicago Illinois. The canisters are stackable and nest inside one another for easy storage. This set is a bit smaller than the average canister set.

Measurements & Capacities:
~Large 6" high / 8 cups
~Medium 5" high / 4 cups
~Small 4.5" height / 2 cups

This set is in good shape; however, the leaves on the large canister have some light fading and there's a .5" scratch on the lid (please see last two photos). There are no cracks or chips on any of the canisters or lids. This set is in clean usable condition.

$16.00 for the set

~Free local delivery available.

~Priority / flat rate or parcel post shipping available for out of town orders. Shipping fees will be quoted.
Note: Shipping will be pretty cheap as this set is light weight and will fit in a rather small package since the canisters nest inside one another.

If interested please PM, call or text me at 907-617-6134.

Please stop back next Sunday for my next Weekly Retro Special.

Thank you & have a lovely day,
Gio & Bugsy❤️
