I'm motivated by more than 25 years experience in the vintage poster industry; a well developed creative nature; and a love for what I do.
I'm bringing this all together in a quaint location:
4557 Technology Drive, Ste. 3,
Wilmington, NC 28405
tel: 910.399.5128
The store is open 11-5, Monday-Friday; 11-3, Saturday and Sunday. I encourage you to please contact by telephone or email to schedule a time to stop by in I've stepped out of the gallery.
Happiest Kid Finds also has a satellite location at
Azalea Antiques & Art , 1502 23rd St Wilmington, NC 28401
and actively connecting with other local businesses as we grow into the Wilmington community.
Beginning in 1998 , I began as a restorer at a New York poster gallery and then transitioned to helping manage it during the first sixteen years of working in the vintage poster industry. Fast forward to the inevitable after being surrounded by it for so long- in 2015, I caught the treasure hunting bug.
My interests are wide, but what I offer here are works that are aesthetically pleasing; of historical significance; have social relevance; and above all, are unique. This growing collection boasts of a broad assortment of subject matter and material, but it's that broad interest that defines and what you'll come to expect from Happiest Kid Finds.
As Happiest Kid Finds continues to grow as a business, being creative is a key element behind my motivation. One of my most recent creations that I’d love to collaborate on is Milagritos Hot Sauce. This is my recipe. Like painting, I’ve used spices and produce to find harmony between flavor and heat. "But what does hot sauce have to do with vintage posters and art? " you ask. It is an extension of creativity and finding ways to connect the creativity along with the knowledge that I've accumulated over the years.
I hope you take a tour of my listings and let me help you start or add to your collection today, and if you’re looking for something spicy, be sure to check out Milagritos Hot Sauce.
Feel free to contact me with questions about any of the listings and shipping.
I look forward to meeting you!
