I never thought I was creative, but I needed wood to warm the house. While helping a local clean up her yard, I met a gentleman who carved and turned wooden bowls. He inspired me and the crazy spoon madness began!

Hi, my name is Tracy and I am Full Moon Carving located on the third floor of the Shops at Riverton! I have been a wood carver for approximately 4 years carving primarily spoons of all shapes and sizes. All of the spoons that I create are hand carved using locally sourced wood. Self taught, I have fine tuned my designs through years of trial and error. Some of my pieces are more unique due to the pattern of the wood through growth, sometimes difficult to work with but beautiful when completed. I am usually around the Shops on the weekends so stop by and say hello - I would love to meet you!!

At Gracie’s vintage for the Casual Collector, we believe that you don’t have to be crazy rich to have nice things. You also don’t have to be obsessive about collecting, though we are right there on board with you if you are. We believe that you can be a casual collector who likes to surround themselves with beautiful things. We also don’t mind if our beautiful things aren’t perfect. Age gives you certain privileges like showing your story and proudly displaying that you were loved with some scuffing, some dents and scratches.

Gracie’s vintage is a mom owned fledgling business that began with a life long love of vintage, curating and home decor. Vintage items create distinctive and special moments throughout a space. Gracie’s Vintage believes that the quality, the one of a kind feel and the environmental benefits of second hand are the winning combination for decorating a unique home irregardless of style.
