About Tero Designs Vintage Finds

My Story

My passion has always been creativity — whether redesigning a room, hunting vintage treasures, or finding that one-of-a-kind piece that carries decades of history. After earning my degree in Health Education I spent years working in the field, but something was always missing. Returning to school for interior design reignited that spark, and in 2009 I opened an online shop as a way to bring both passions together.

What began as a small side shop turned into my livelihood after December 2010 — proof that when you pour your heart into something, it can truly become a business. Today, Tero Designs Vintage Finds is a carefully curated collection of authentic vintage items: jewelry, glassware, holiday décor, collectibles, and more — each chosen for its character, craftsmanship, and the story it tells.

Every item is personally sourced, inspected, and described to the best of my knowledge. I believe vintage pieces deserve honest presentation — you'll always know exactly what you're getting.

The Name

Tero was inspired by my two children — Teagan and Rowen. I took the first two letters of each name and combined them. Simple, personal, and something I carry with me in everything I do.
