Welcome To Alana's Vintage Collectibles!
Alana's Vintage Collectibles was a dream that one family member held in her heart for many many years. It literally took a major family crisis to make this dream come to reality. That crisis was waking up to total insanity wondering why we were in it and not having a clue how to get out. It literally took a power greater than ourselves to force this spiritual awakening that resulted in each family member becoming who they really are and following what they really want to do in their lives and then making it happen.

It is amazing to see that we have been a active online business for over ten years and how much we have grown in those years. Having had the blessing of a miracle come our way that at first didn't even look like anything more than a total disaster, our lives changed! In fact Alana's Vintage Collectibles was only a dream until our family realized how important it truly is to embark upon the wake up call and spiritual journey into self. Following our heart and our dreams gave birth to Alana's Vintage Collectibles. We discovered a number of amazing things during this spiritual awakening and most of all we found ourselves. We gave life to our dreams and become independent business owners and independent thinkers.

We absolutely love collecting history! Being involved in preserving that little prized possession of yesteryear that meant so much to the one who originally owned it. Cherished treasures of a precious moment in time passed on to others who could also value them as their original owners once did. We have been more than surprised how many buyers out there are looking for that original one of a kind or special piece of memorabilia from days gone by. Not only searching, looking but bringing the life back into a piece of our American culture and our people rest inside these priceless pieces of history. Far too much emphasis is put on the value of antiques without realizing that value means nothing unless you actually have someone out there looking for it. Value then becomes what price that buyer wants to purchase it for. However, love for the history is priceless and sometimes the value to the owner is even more rewarding than putting a price tag on it.

Our goal is to bring to the buyer that time in their lives when something became important to them to hold and to cherish rather it be a article or a picture of a family member in a old and forgotten back issue magazine. Or perhaps a cherished memory of love from an old out of print sewing pattern. Yes perhaps your mother used that same pattern many years ago and made a dress for you. Or perhaps that memory of childhood in an old elementary text book you used years ago. A favorite recipe or cookbook that is no longer in print. Whatever it is we try to bring back those memories in time and preserve our love for them because they do mean something very significant to each of us in our own way.

There are a lot of antique collectibles sites online and various shops around the world. You just can't determine what something is worth unless you want to truly sell it and have the time to get that piece out there so the buyer can locate it. We keep our prices within competitive range based on what other online business owners offer. We are not competing with other online antique markets that auctions off these precious pieces in penny sales. We compete with other online stores who have the overhead and cost and time invested in full management of their online business stores.

We have a lot of fantastic collectibles from the rural dairy farmland owners of Wisconsin. We attend real live estate auctions in our community and bring our finds to our store and expose it to the world for others to find. Our websites are fully managed, run, hosted and maintained by us. We do all the shipping, storing and hands on purchases along with all the customer service and research for each product that we offer.

We have well over 5,000 individual collectibles, antiques, and retro pieces from our area. Some of these pieces are rare hard to find, one of a kinds and or completely out of print and or retired. With a hands on approach we never purchase items unless we are there in person to have the opportunity to see the items and inspect them for our websites. There is a lot involved in running a online business and we have gained a lot of valuable experience in the learning process over the years. We are avid supporters to other online business owners from hosting websites to individual training and mentoring; sharing our years in the business with others. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting other collectors over the years and doing business with people all around the world.
