Dear friend,
Thank you so much for shopping at Alison Rose Vintage. I’m Alison Rose and I define myself as an old soul with a generous heart. I’m deeply passionate about words and giving. I’ve been mailing letters, cards, and gifts to family and friends for 25 years, forming very special bonds. I started this business to help you connect with your loved ones as well.
I was born and raised in West Virginia, lived in Ohio and Massachusetts for many years, and now reside in East Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In addition to pouring my heart and soul into Alison Rose Vintage, I also love to snuggle my dog, read, volunteer, and explore beautiful places.
Keep in touch with me on social media @alisonrosevintage.
With love,
Alison Rose
One of my favorite parts of owning a small business is stopping into shops that carry Alison Rose Vintage products. We stopped at Wellfleet Marine on Cape Cod, Locally Yours in Plymouth, MA, Three Buoys and a Mermaid in Duxbury, MA, Framed in Time in Framingham, MA, Kitchen Sink Candle Co in Bolton, MA, Willow in Windham, NH, and Sea Love in Kennebunkport, ME. I got to meet several shop owners, sit for hours with people I’ve collaborated with over the years, and stop and chat with several of my fellow maker friends at the pro.found market...
When I lost my sister in May 2020, I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. The weeks following felt like a fog; my brain could barely process or handle the simplest tasks. Some gestures and gifts from friends and family really comforted me at a time when I felt a deep sense of loneliness. Besides sending flowers, here are some meaningful condolence gifts for someone grieving a loss...

I’ve been reading a book from the 1890s called, “The Technique of Rest” and this quote really hit home: “She lives in a perpetual sense of not being able to draw one full breath.” Do you ever feel this way? It’s why my word of the year this year is “breathe” and why I’m writing this blog post today. We can all benefit from ways to calm our nervous systems. Read this blog post for five mini meditations or visualizations to help you take a full, deep breath and remember that you can experience serenity through your own imagination.
