Well to be honest I love soup and being born in the 80s, my love for vintage things has exponentially grown into an obsession. What started as a hobby of sort, just hunting for nostalgic items from my childhood to friends and family growing envious to my thrifty scores has resulted in me hunting for time period specific things for them.  I've grown quite good at the hunt and now want to share my spoils with the world.  So naturally I joined the 2 things I love which created the name for my store.  And just like soup, which is a hodgepodge of ingredients, is a perfect representation of the items I sell. Now as for the 23 thing goes, being born and raised in Chicago and living through one of the most memorable decades for the NBA(and not to mention the golden era of throwbacks), I had to throw an ode to Michael Jordan's number from the Chicago Bulls!  Hope you enjoy the finds I put up for sale as much as I enjoyed going on the hunt to find them!  Keep visiting back frequently as new items get posted every week and sometimes daily.  And if you're looking for something specific, you can email me at vintagesoup23 [!at] gmail.com and I'll keep and eye out for it!!
