Located in the picturesque town of Madison, Georgia, nestled amidst rolling hills and charming antebellum homes, a new company was born. It was called Vintage Vanes, and it was poised to become a testament to the beauty of fine artistry and craftsmanship.
Madison, often touted as one of the best small towns in America, served as the perfect backdrop for Vintage Vanes. Its historic streets, with meticulously preserved gardens and grand old homes, seemed like an eternal source of inspiration. In Madison, every corner whispered tales of a bygone era, where aesthetics and attention to detail were paramount. It was in this idyllic setting that Vintage Vanes was destined to flourish.
At the heart of this venture was a company with both a love of history and passion for preserving the past. The company saw how one vintage piece like a beautiful weathervane could become the finishing touch and turn a house into a home!
Vintage Vanes began with a chance encounter with Fred Bland, affectionately known as Uncle Fred, a local legend who had been selling weathervanes to the people of the Appalachian Mountains for the past seven years. Uncle Fred was more than just a vendor; he was a caretaker of tradition, a master of weathervanes, and a treasure trove of knowledge on the subject.
Uncle Fred’s weathervanes were beautiful creations, each exquisite in its own right. The family was captivated not only by their aesthetic beauty but also by their intricate craftsmanship.
