CrAzy Pillows round 1 are here!

I have been blessed to make some friends in the design world and have gotten some left over/discontinued showroom fabrics which have inspired me to create some pillows. I am very excited to have had 3 squares of great Kilim weave by S Harris, a to the trade fabric brand. I decided they would make great lumbar pillows as I have my own collection of vintage Kilim pillows that I refuse to sell since they are not easy to find in our area. Every one I have came from the NYC metro area. Anyway, I decided to pair these great weaves with a backer of vintage (knoll I was told) Greek key tweed. I love the pattern play! None of the pillows have matched patterns but there are pairs in the same color way. They are being sold separately and are stuffed with new polyfill. Each pillow is knife edge style and does not have a zipper access but is prestuffed and ready to use. I have stitched my wooden branding tag on each. These are all sewn by me on my 1974 Singer and hand stitched closed. Claim yours now! I love them on a chair, couch, bed or settee. They are colorful and have great texture. Works with mcm, organic, minimalist and boho styles. Just like a fine rug, they are beautiful and cozy. Rectangular shape which is narrow and longer. I can’t wait to see how you use them! Have a look here:

I will have more pillow covers coming! Have a bunch cut out and waiting. If you like working purples into your accents, you’ll enjoy them. Stay tuned!

We are about to start 2 busy months for me. We have lots of weekend plans coming up so I cannot be in the showroom. I will try to be there Wed or Thursday if I cannot make a weekend appearance. Typically, I will be home Sunday evenings. Please reach out to make an appointment! I am tied up Tuesday nights but can do other weeknights. I am planning to be open late on Friday Oct 13th for Trunk or Treat so mark your calendar! If you got kids or grandkids, bring them to enjoy the festivities and pop in the showroom. I pinned the event on my fb page so stop there to see the details.

Heads up if you need shipping: My Chairish shop will be 20% off Monday (Labor Day), Tuesday and I think Wednesday so you will want to check out then to save. Prices update automatically. Instant shipping quotes, now combined shipping is offered, also shipping to Alaska for furniture. Lots going on with Chairish!

Have a great holiday! I have training on Thursday this week so will plan on being in the showroom Wednesday for sure. Friday morning maybe, but will depend on how much packing I get done! Been looking forward to fall camping and it is upon us! 🥰🚐

Fall updates!

Can you believe we are headed into fall?! My first born will be moving into her college dorm this Friday! It seems like she was just a little one! Camping season is also in my near future! We don’t camp in the summer! Ha. No A/C in the vanagon and although he’s running good, sitting in hot traffic is no fun. My days at the showroom will be limited as we head into fall but I will still try to get here at least once a week. Don’t be shy about scheduling an appt! I can promise good tunes and chatter and I won’t pressure you to buy, in fact, I am that friend who will tell you if it’s not a good idea! Ha. Things are slowly starting to move again as summer is always busy, even for my shoppers. That said, if you are eyeing something, you may want to commit! I am STILL looking for homes for the pink couch and chair set. Cannot believe it’s still here! If you are interested and want to see, hit me up. My mcm light up houses from World Market are half way to sold out so if you’d like one of each, get here pronto. One style is last one! Glad you guys love them too! I only saw 2 larger ones so far pop up on their website for this season. The rest are more like German cottages and not mcm. No sign of the Halloween mcm houses! I have major regrets of not grabbing those on clearance last year!

NEW! I added Satya Incense, soaps and room spray to my booth and showroom, Nag Champa is my fav but there are many more here including citronella! Perfect for lighting up fireside, at camp or in home. One thing us VW camping folk love is our incense! I have bundles in the booth and have some individual boxes in my showroom- mainly because of how the fees are charged. If you buy direct from me in the showroom we don’t worry about that, otherwise I just bundle them to make it ‘make sense’.

I have been adding some small collectibles from my parents as they just did a major basement clean out. I add to the booth as space allows but my backstock is in the showroom. I will try to keep up with restocks during this busy time. I also want to mention I appreciate you all! You are a part of my business and while I will continue this, I am looking for paying opportunities to help my daughter with her education. Hoping I can ‘do it all’ but no promises! Ha. Your support is even more crucial to me as I try to cover my rents and shoot to be in the black. I won’t pay to keep this dream alive! Ha. I still have a great selection of stuff and I need to make room so when I get the next message with a house that needs me to buy, I am ready!

I will be participating in a textile workshop to learn about linen in the coming weeks at the Philly Design Center for the IFDA. Looking forward to seeing my design friends and keeping my brain full of useful info so I can assist my clients with choices! I love that part of my job. While I am not a designer and I love staying hyper focused on the items, I do love helping you make design decisions and knowledge is power!

Have a great week and reach out if I can help you! My shipper Manny is covering the east coast down to florida, Chicagoland runs every few weeks and just added Tennessee/Kentucky to his service area. I have a set of chairs going with him in a few weeks. I hire him direct and generally his prices are very good! If you’d like a price let me know! 🫶🏻 Chairish has seemed to get the memo on price increases and have adjusted their price points. It is still worth going with them on some items especially if west coast or weird area.

ROAD TRIP FREE DELIVERY OR MEET MD/DC/RichmondVA AREA I95 corridor

Hello my friends! I am headed to Richmond VA to visit my husband who is living in a hotel for 3 weeks training for his new position. He is having fun exploring and even hit up some antique shops and told me how high things are priced there! I cleared my schedule for a visit leaving Monday 31st and coming back Wed 2nd. My minivan is available to pack full of goodies to bring to any of you living along my route which includes Baltimore, DC and the Richmond VA area. This is a perfect opportunity to grab anything larger or fragile to avoid traditional shipping which you may be aware is high these days. Bonus! I will let you buy direct from me at MadModWorldVintage.com so you can save all the Etsy and Chairish fees! I will have my teen with me so we can unload large pieces and get them into your garage or safe area or transfer to your own vehicle if that applies. I have LIMITED space but can add many smaller items so have a look at my website, build a pile and let me know what large pieces are involved and I will pack it as full as I can! We plan leaving early Monday AM from PA and will be in Richmond that night through early Wed, when we will start back. I have a rehearsal at 7pm to make it back for. Let me know what I can bring you! My husband has been out exploring and told me how high the prices are down there so please take advantage of this awesome opportunity where I am not charging you a delivery fee and you can save by paying my local pick up prices!!!! I look forward to working with you and please share with your friends who may be looking for furniture and decor. I think there are 2 items I cannot transport and that would be the Knoll Spider Dining table and the German High board. Important to check with me before you check out to make sure I still have room for what you want and confirm your meet up or delivery details. My cell 610-223-5758 and email malissa@madmodworldvintage.com. Thanks guys and I hope to meet some of you on the road!!!

Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

I will not be available on the holiday except for a small window in the early afternoon, if you’d like an appt then or anytime the rest of the week, reach out! I finally got through the rest of my new items. Everything is in my shops other than the last 2 Chairish submittals that take some time. The bed and the small 4 drawer dresser are claimed and outta here. Locals, this is a rare opportunity as I typically do not find tons of Scandinavian around here and especially all of this Norwegian stuff. I am so happy to have so many fine things to choose from AND offer at very reasonable prices. I have said it before and I will say it again, I am pricing better than my online markets AND my local competitors that sell similar high end mcm goods. Prices right now are downright offensive and I do my due diligence finding comps for my items. Unless you pick it yourself, you’ll be hard pressed to beat my price. I want you to be able to have nice things……things that won’t depreciate! In 8 years of buying and selling, things have only gotten more expensive.

I was able to get the cushions replaced in the SoDa Galvano lounge chair and wash the covers. The swivel chair sits low but is super comfy. It is available to check out in the showroom. I also got the credenza out and photographed. My husband just repaired one drawer that needed some glue and clamp TLC and it is ready to go, it’s a super piece. All of this stuff was collected over many years and was taken care of. Now I am looking for the next collector to pass them to! Want to take on a few items, let’s talk bundle! Message, call or text me! ❤️

CATCH my BERK COUNTY performances on the 4th: Wyomissing July 4th parade with Reading Philharmonic Band on a float playing trumpet starting AT 10am, right after watch me change shirts and instruments as I play French Horn with the Wyomissing Band Inc at the stone house which I will most likely be late for and look like an idiot. Ha. THEN 6pm we open for the Mahoney Brothers at Governor Mifflin Community Days. 🇺🇸

Calling All Scandinavian And Danish Lovers!

I spent the last 2 days picking up my latest acquisitions and they are amazing! I am working to get them listed, starting with my website then sending to Etsy and Chairish. I took all the small pieces to the showroom and will be working on cleaning, photographing, and listing there. The bed and 3 larger cabinets are stored off site. I am having fun finding out about all the makers involved here and there is everything from Danish to Norwegian to German represented. This opportunity to have these lovely pieces in my care is amazing and I look forward to getting them in new homes soon. If you have ever wanted to invest in some great Scandinavian furniture, now is the time to not hesitate and claim your items! I am pricing things under market values, as I try to pass on my bulk buying savings to my buyers. If you have not noticed or compared, I take that very seriously. I get just as annoyed to see crazy high prices on things and I want to be your GO TO FIRST dealer of choice. You can spend more, but why? My website prices are 20% lower for those willing to road trip here to pick up your pieces. I am sure no other dealer does that in the area. Anyway, start peeking at my listings! I will be adding things later today, continuing to start with MadModWorldVintage.com and then adding to Etsy and Chairish. Here are some surprises in the mix!

At the showroom, I have end tables (SOLD), a sweet teak dining set and more ready to be catalogued! I believe I have things for every room in the house with this lot and you will want to shop early for best selection! If you see it on my website I can start working with you even if you need to purchase through Etsy. Chairish curation takes up to a week so will be copying things there last. I have a great shipper who can handle most of the east coast, Midwest areas so reach out if you need shipping so I can help you get pricing, Thanks for looking! I plan to be at the showroom today earlier and until 3:30 at the latest working on the stuff out there. I also just sold the last mushroom ottoman so will be packing that and dropping off at Fed Ex this afternoon. 🍄 Lots of coolness is the shop right now! I dreamed of having so much Scandinavian design for so long, and here we are! 💖🫶🏻🤘🏼🥰.
