My Journey as an Entrepreneur, Creator, and Vintage Enthusiast
Hello! Iām Mrs. P, the heart and soul behind 14th Street Vintage. Creativity and entrepreneurship run in my veins, and my love for vintage treasures, home-cooked meals, and beautifully curated experiences has shaped my journey.
From a young age, I found joy in crafting, cooking, and design. I grew up in the South, where my love for food beganāstarting with my very first recipe at age seven: Southern Sweet Tea made with loose Tetley Tea (which I still drink daily!). Over the years, my passion for cooking expanded, from Classic Meals to Vintage-Inspired Tea Parties.
My career has been just as dynamic. I began as an Artist Representative, helping photographers and designers showcase their talents. Later, I spent over two decades teaching Business Education and Family Consumer Sciences, specializing in Culinary Arts, Hospitality, and Interior Design. My love for events led me to Vintage-Themed Party Planning and Tea Parties and in 2016, I embraced my passion full-time by repurposing vintage finds into something new and beautiful. I also sold my mason jar mixes @ Etsy for over ten years.
A Lifelong Passion for Creativity & Business
The Story Behind 14th Street Vintage:
A Legacy of Entrepreneurship, Family and Flavor
Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family. My maternal grandfather and great-grandfather owned country stores in Phenix City, AL, Atmore, AL, and David, FLāselling fresh milk, cornmeal, and all the staples of Southern life. My maternal grandmother had a thrift shop in Phenix City, which might explain my deep love for all things vintage.
Iāve always been drawn to history, nostalgia, and craftsmanship. Depression glass, antique furniture, vintage tea cups, old silverwareāthese treasures tell stories, and I canāt resist stopping at every antique shop or hidden roadside barn to hunt for them!
A Love for Food, Passed Down Through Generations
Cooking has been a lifelong passion, thanks to the lessons from my mother and grandmothers. At age seven, I mastered my first recipe: Southern Sweet Iced Tea made with loose Tetley Tea (a tradition I still keep). From Southern Caramel Sheet Cake to a simple pot of beans, these family staples have shaped my love for Southern Comfort Food.
Now, Iām passing these traditions down to my granddaughter, who started learning the basics at age six. At eight, sheās already a little chef in the making!
The Inspiration Behind 14th Street Vintage
The name ā14th Street Vintageā pays tribute to my Southern roots and a beloved local institution: the 14th Street Grillāfamous for its āScrambled Dog.ā If youāve never had one, itās an open-faced hot dog topped with grilled, sliced beef hot dogs, chili, coleslaw, pickles, diced onions, oyster crackers, ketchup, mustard, shredded cheddar, and salsaāall served in an elongated bowl. A Truly Southern Classic! And it is still open after over 75 yearsā¦if you are ever in the area, stop by.
Iāve always dreamed of owning a food truck dedicated to the Scrambled Dogāmaybe one day! Until then, you can grab my Scrambled Dog Recipe in the Recipe Card section of my store.
Bringing It All Together: Vintage, Food & Creativity
My journey has woven together a love for vintage treasures, home-cooked meals, and creative design. As a lifelong entrepreneur, teacher, and artist, Iāve built a Career in Business Education, Culinary arts, and Event planning. One of my proudest moments? Earning a coveted internship at the Biltmore House Restaurants in Asheville, NC, in 2016āan unforgettable culinary experience.
Now, in my retirement years, Iām pouring my passion into 14th Street Vintageāa place to celebrate food, nostalgia, and creativity. My online shop and blog are a labor of love, and Iām constantly adding new handcrafted products, vintage finds, and recipes.
And the photo at the left is my very first cookie mix I created: Cherry Almond Shortbread Cookie Mix With Powdered Sugar or White Chocolate Glaze.
In the coming months, Iāll be expanding my shop with Homemade Preserves, Pickling, and Jamsājust like my family used to make. I just added Teas & Tea Products to my Store.
I am also producing PDFs of my blog posts about Basic Cooking Skills like Measuring, Bakeware, Kitchen Staples, etc. They are listed in the Digital Files & Downloads Section of my store.
And if you ever find yourself in Phenix City, AL, or Columbus, GA, be sure to stop by Chicken Comerās BBQ in Columbus. Their mustard-based BBQ was a Friday night tradition in my family and itās still as good as ever!

Mason Jar Care
-
After you have used your product, soak in a large mixing bowl for @ 30 minutes. Use a spackling spatula to scrape off the label. If that does not get it all, use a tiny bit of W-D40 on a paper towel. Then wash in the dishwasher. Lid and ring in the utensil bin. Let dry completely and then use for storage in pantry or frig.
-
Jars are wrapped in large bubble. Smaller jars in foam or regular bubble. I use heavy weight kraft boxes and then stuff with bubble or kraft paper. We ship with all services but USPS Ground Advantage is the most economical. I can ship your preference. I have accounts with all the services. I know UPS does not ship well in the rural areas.
-
Each product category notes on each listing how long the mix will last. Most cookie mixes last one year but with nuts only three months.
Soup Mixes usually last one year.
Check each individual product category for specific care tips.
