I’m Kristi, the person behind VintageToMemo.

VintageToMemo began with a feeling of nostalgia. I was born and raised in Estonia during the Soviet era, and I never imagined that the everyday objects surrounding my childhood would one day become treasures I would search for, collect, and share with others.

Over the years, I began to see these objects differently - not simply as old things, but as small pieces of history filled with memories, craftsmanship, and stories.

My love for vintage grew gradually from curiosity into a true passion. Today, I enjoy exploring flea markets, second-hand shops, estate sales, and antique fairs, never knowing what special discovery might be waiting around the next corner.

Sometimes I come home with just one wonderful find; other times, my car is filled with treasures. I choose every item carefully, as if I were bringing it into my own home.

My finds range from vintage books, ceramics, and glassware to artwork, home décor, and distinctive pieces from the Soviet era. Whether it’s a beloved children’s book, a beautifully illustrated cookbook, an elegant porcelain figurine, or a handmade vase, I believe every piece deserves the chance to be appreciated and loved again.

Through my photography, I try to show each item as honestly and beautifully as possible - its details, colours, signs of age, and the unique character that first caught my eye.
