About Us

Our Story:

We have been working in vintage for years which means we have seen everything. Haunted porcelain dolls. Ashtrays shaped like lobsters. And plates. So many plates. Gorgeous plates. Weird plates. Plates that had no business being abandoned on a thrift store shelf.

We kept joking that these plates needed a second chance. Then we stopped joking and made Wordy Plates. We carved out a corner of our vintage booth at MSV, slapped some words on a few plates, and people freaked out in the best way. Kindred saw them. Wanted them. Then Crafty Wonderland happened and holy hell, we were not prepared.

Now the plates scream for attention and the vintage furniture screams louder and somehow this is our ideal workday. Between the sanding, the engraving, the painting, and the treasure hunting, we get to create something that feels honest and joyful.

Our Team:

Grace and Becky have been navigating the world of Wordy Plates side by side, creating a space where creativity, humor, and sustainability come together. 

Grace:

Co-Owner | Technician | Artist
Grace helps lead Wordy Plates with heart and humor. When she’s not out hiking or deep in a true crime podcast, she’s bringing her creative vision to life, one Wordy Plate at a time. She’s a recovering people-pleaser who’s learning to say “no” and loves nothing more than kicking back with some sour cream and onion chips and a cold Diet Coke.  

Becky:

Co-Owner | Treasure Hunter | Artist
When she’s not hunting for vintage treasures, you can find Becky indulging in her love for monster movies, cracking jokes, and championing unapologetic feminism. Her drink of choice? A good ol’ regular Coke. She’s got a knack for finding the beauty in the unloved and adding a little snark to everything she touches.
