Who's The Sassy Chicken?

We are Robert and Jackie, a husband & wife team. We are pickers, creators, curators, and sellers of vintage home goods, painted furniture, repurposed furniture, etc. Robert refinishes, repairs, and builds furniture as well as other wood items. He is the muscle and creative partner behind the business. Jackie is the head picker, designer, and brains behind the business (according to Robert). Picking and merchandising the booths is her main job, as well as running our own little brick and mortar shop in downtown Sparta, MI.

We love the thrill of the hunt, the challenge of adapting to what works (and no longer works) in this industry to be able to support ourselves as creatives (and self-employed couple), and working together every day following our dream! We have a blended family of 8 kids but only 1 of them lives with us and we homeschool her! You'll see her around the shop at times.

We love the history behind the items we find and giving new life to these lovely items that would otherwise go to a landfill.
