I built my first SaaS: Reseller Command Center—an AI-powered toolkit for vintage resellers that helps identify pieces, generate platform-ready listings, and remember your goals so you can run your shop with less friction. It’s the “no-setup” version of the workflows I’ve been building for Vintage Reveries, powered by Gemini (and yes, it’s paid because it uses my API key). I’m in beta and genuinely want feedback—especially from sellers drowning in backlog.

Google Docs Archivist OCR: a free tool for turning vintage scans into clean, usable text
I built a lightweight Google Apps Script that turns folders of scanned images into clean, editable text—right inside Google Docs. It detects columns and tables, preserves order, and outputs pipe-formatted rows you can paste into Sheets or CSV. Perfect for archivists, researchers, and bloggers working through vintage scans at scale.
Heads Down in December: 56 Sales, Custom AI, and Digitizing History
BFCM cleared $1K+ after fees, a no-comps tee sold for $300 in 90 minutes, and I shipped 50+ coats in two weeks. December has been heads-down systems work — theme refresh, database cleanup, precise shipping — plus an AI project that turned a public domain dictionary into a usable dataset. Here’s what worked (and what I fixed).
How Vintage Reselling (and WordPress) Are Saving Me Again
For years, VintageReveries quietly carried me through job changes, pandemic chaos, and burnout. This fall, I rebuilt the site from the ground up on a new Divi layout, automated my social posts, and started listing again in earnest. With just over 100 active listings, I’m already seeing a 3 percent sell-through rate and a 50-plus dollar average order value—proof that vintage and WordPress are saving me, again, in a very real and measurable way.
Roots in the Pause: Union Loyalists, Privilege, and the Records We Leave
I fell back into my family archives during a rare pause in St. Louis and found the man my grandmother meant: Joseph J. Johnson, killed by Confederate soldiers after voting for Lincoln. It’s a story about privilege as visibility, the courage of ordinary choices, and why we must leave receipts for whoever looks next.
What It Means to Finally Be Done Before the Deadline
After years of chronic stress, I finally finished something early — my St. Louis duplex passed inspection two weeks ahead of schedule. What I expected to feel like an ending turned into something gentler: real rest. This essay reflects on what it means to pause, to rebuild, and to find peace between chapters — from renovating a home to reshaping a life.
