About Daydream Junk
Daydream Junk is a one woman owned and operated vintage and retro clothing resale business from Columbus, Ohio. I started this business in May of 2020, after growing up going to thrift stores, flea markets, and charity shops and realizing I have a knack for finding hidden vintage gems. Daydream Junk strives to serve as a place where people of all sizes, backgrounds, and styles can find unique vintage and retro clothing and accessories to suit their taste. Since the whole world of 'Vintage' is history itself, it is imperative that as a lover of all things vintage, Daydream continues to celebrate and preserve the style of the time and never the oppressive values and outdated beliefs of the era.

Daydream Junk also values giving new life and purpose to clothing that otherwise would have been discarded. Clothing and accessories are sourced mainly from estate sales, last-stop thrift outlets, and even some donations by friends and family. Fast fashion is not sustainable for many reasons, but buying secondhand can help to offset those environmental implications by preventing an item from ending up in a landfill, especially vintage items that are considered by many to be valuable pieces of history. I also pride myself on reusing vintage fabrics to make my handmade garments from. I often find lace, thread, buttons, and other notions secondhand, too, so 99% of my garments are nearly completely made from secondhand materials! (Save for the elastic ;-) )

As of September 2025, I have also expanded my love of vintage and sewing to include mending and alteration services. When I first started (intermittently) sewing in 2017, I learned how to alter and mend my own clothes I already had. Mending is a skill I believe to be invaluable, and because of that I have begun to shift the focus of my small business to teaching others about the importance of elongating the life of our beloved pieces. Thanks for being here with me!
