✨⭐️ MEET THE STARS OF MODERN VINTAGE CHICAGO!! 🎩 🤩@winiandi_ coming to The Ballroom during Randolph Street Market’s Memorial Day Weekend “Garden Party”!! 💐 ❓Who or what was your inspiration for starting your business? My parents, who were business owners. My dad was the second generation of what would become a three generation family business, and my mom, Wini, after whom I named my business. I started it up shortly after her passing, in honor of her but, also because I share in her love of beautiful things and the history behind them. My mom, Wini, who the business is named after, was an antique dealer with a fantastic eye & a vast wealth of knowledge. She also had a tremendous talent for artfully arranging items in an environment, the frustrated interior designer that she was. She was the complete package. I translate that passion to the human form. I love to source and style beautiful pieces, learn about their provenance and facilitate pieces coming together for a customer! ****INTERVIEW CONTINUES IN COMMENTS BELOW*** 🗓️💐COME AND SHOP FABULOUS VINTAGE LUXURY IN THE BALLROOM AT THE RANDOLPH STREET MARKET - MAY 23+24 📍Chicago Plumbers Union - enter directly at 1340 W. Washington Blvd, Chicago, ballroom is on the second floor. #chicagostyle #chicagovintagefashion #RandolphGardenParty #modernvintagechicago
