From Grandma’s Button Box to Vintage Brilliance: The Story of MIX3D

As a young child, being allowed to explore my grandmother’s button box, along with the nooks and crannies of her Burlington home, was a sensory delight and the beginning of my interest in antique and vintage goods.
I’ve always been a crafter, a furniture repairer, a collector, and a redecorator, so following my retirement as a Radiology IT Product Administrator at GE Healthcare, and having the opportunity of a space at Vintage Inspired on Flynn Avenue, I was able to share my passions with others. My moody blue booth at the Dorset Street location is always filled with art, mirrors, curated decor, small furniture, and ideas for using those vintage items in your own lifestyle.
My intent is to provide “Interesting artifacts, respectfully re-stored, re-purposed, re-presented.” I hope the goods you find there in my booth bring you as much joy as I had in discovering them - as much delight as Grandma’s buttons. - Carol Moore















Rip's signature look is defined by the iconic Rip Wheeler Black Jacket. It's a simple, rugged cotton trucker jacket that embodies his no-frills attitude. This is the cornerstone piece of any authentic Rip Wheeler Outfit.
I’ve always liked cooler tones, and the Blue Stussy Hoodie is a standout for me. The Grey Stussy Hoodies are also great when I want something easy and casual. Both of these pieces from Stussy Jacket show how well the brand plays with color palettes.
