About

About Tendril & Thistle - formerly Vintage Revival Design Co.

Tendril & Thistle is a quiet, creative space, a place to come home to yourself in the moments between being and doing.

What began as Vintage Revival Design Co., a cozy corner for painted furniture, vintage finds, and DIY workshops, has gently evolved. After a season of physical stillness, I realized something tender: I didn’t just want to help people decorate their homes… I wanted to help them return to themselves.  So, I followed that pull inward. And Tendril & Thistle was born.

Each seasonal collection is an invitation to pause, to care, to create, with aromatherapy-inspired rituals and gentle creative prompts that meet you right where you are.

Candles to soften the edges. Essential oils to center your breath. Handmade papers to stir something true. Scrubs and sprays and simple moments of presence.

A Story of Care and Becoming

This brand is rooted in where I come from.

My love for restoration began beside my grandmother.  She was resourceful, generous, and walked so fast I could barely keep up. She taught me to see potential in the worn, purpose in the cast aside, and beauty in the overlooked.

But more than that, she taught me something I carry into everything I create:
Restoration isn’t just for objects. It’s for people, too.

As a Marine Corps spouse, I learned to carry that artistry into constant change. I made home again and again in unfamiliar places, learning how scent, space, and small rituals could turn a house into a haven. That same spirit is woven into every part of what I offer now.

An Ongoing Invitation

Tendril & Thistle is no longer about just what you make with your hands.  It’s about how you care for yourself while you do.

Each product is part of a deeper rhythm, rooted in the seasons, created with care, and designed to reconnect you with what matters most.

You’ll find six invitations woven throughout every collection:

Begin. Rest. Tend. Create. Pause. Light.

They’re quiet touchstones, returning with each season in new forms—meeting you wherever you are.

This is just the beginning.  And I’m so grateful you’re here.
