About Me

My name is Leslie and I am the vintage yankee.  I came up with the name vintage yankee because of my love for all old things and because I originally grew up in the northern part of the U.S.; Indiana to be exact.  I love anything with a history or that could have been a part of someone else's life.

This blog is a journal of sorts; a place to log my interests and ideas.  A place to keep projects that I am working on, recipes that I have tried, creative ideas that spark my interest and most importantly, vintage items that I find and want to document.

My hope is that you will share this journal with me.  Let me know about things that you find that interest you or if you have ideas for an item you'd like for me to feature.
