The Long Way Around

I’m Shawn, a vintage reseller and storyteller sharing the unpredictable world of thrift finds, Etsy flips, and everyday experiments that usually start as “this might be a bad idea.”

On this channel you’ll find quick YouTube Shorts and longer stories about vintage treasures, yard sale wins, and the occasional life experiment—like finally wearing the fedora I was too nervous to wear for 20 years.

I also share behind-the-scenes looks at running an online vintage shop, including surprising sales, funny customer moments, and the reality of turning old stuff into new stories.

If you like thrift culture, retro collectibles, coffee-fueled ideas, and honest, slightly awkward storytelling, you’re in the right place.

New videos regularly—usually inspired by whatever I found at a yard sale that weekend.
