Sponsor Love + Giveaway - Jean Jean Vintage

Entries for this giveaway have been closed, thanks for entering!

I first found out about this beautiful shop through a mutual friend and ever since, I’ve been hooked. Jean Jean Vintage has some of the most gorgeous and unique vintage pieces you will ever find. I even own a sweet little necklace from the shop and love wearing it (you can see it in this post). So I’m super excited to introduce you all to her shop and of course there’s a little fun giveaway + discount code involved as well, keep on reading!!

{MEET THE SHOP OWNER}

1) Tell us a little but about yourself and your shop.
My name is Emily Duffelmeyer but I go by the nickname “Duff.” I’m 30 years old and I live in Michigan with my husband. I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years (archaeology volunteer, daycare worker, coffee slinger, specialty food buyer, etc.) but owning Jean Jean Vintage is certainly the best fit for me. I started my shop and blog (jeanjeanvintage.com) about 1 1/2 years ago. I sell vintage and antique jewelry as well as a sweet selection of handbags. My favorite era is Art Deco, so I try to keep a lot of 1920s-1930s pieces in stock!

2) How do you go about finding your vintage treasures?
I go on a couple big buying trips every year to my top secret spots (!) and I also do a lot of buying close to home. I keep my eye out for beautiful, wearable pieces in great condition. For every 100 pieces I look at, I probably only buy 2 or 3 for Jean Jean Vintage. I try to keep the shop selection very carefully curated.

3) What is one accessory you can’t live without?
My hexagonal 1930s locket. I wear it quite a bit. I also have a gold signet ring that I wear for weeks without taking off.

4) What are you looking forward to most this fall?
Soup is my favorite food to eat and to make, so I am always happy when it cools off and I can cook up big batches! Luckily, Mr. Jean Jean doesn’t mind when I experiment with recipes.

5) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Coffee Heath Bar Crunch! I love to have a few bites in the afternoon instead of coffee these days.
