FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother's creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores & garage sales. These gifts were tailored to the recipient, & we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from "Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s.

Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom & I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on.

I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!
