Antlers and Astronauts is a collection of found goods and handcrafted gifts, sources exclusively from southern artisans.
So I'm Alexa Terry Wilde and this is Antlers and Astronauts. We are a highly curated collection of vintage clothes, antiques and handmade goods. With the vintage clothing we specialize in pieces that are really approachable and easily assimilated into the modern wardrobe. This looks With the antiques we collect pieces that you'll actually want to decorate your home with. And with the handmade goods we've sourced them from over 35 artists all throughout the southeast. And those items around the gamut we have candles and artwork and greeting cards and jewelry. One of the things that I love about this brand is that they just have five candles available. The four seasons and then one additional scent that goes to support the Tennessee River Gorge Foundation. Almanac Supply Company'sort of mission is to bring the outdoors in. They're high quality soy wax candles but atop each candle you get an element of nature. So in this particular one, citrine. I'm a storyteller in the objects that I source and sell. Often times I am able to tell the customer directly the story behind the product. So my grandmother picked up this organ at a thrift store many years ago and it lived in her home for a long time and she thought she would teach herself to play so the keys you can see actually have little stickers on them. Today we are actually going through someone's private collection of cost And I know we've talked a little bit about cost But I have a feeling that today we might be able to find some pieces that would still be pretty approachable for everyday wear but it's just going to take a little more sifting through, combing through to find those special pieces. In this technological day and age we forget sometimes what it means to have a meaningful connection not just in relationships with other h And being able to say It had a former life, I'm giving it a new one. And I think the thing that truly makes my heart happy is knowing that these pieces are going to a really good home. And I tell that to people all the time especially customers who might be bringing me pieces that belong to members of their family. And I'll look at them before they leave and I'll say I can promise you that this is going to go to a really good home.
