About Zeal's Vintage

Born from a shared passion for unearthing hidden gems, my husband and I transformed our hobby of treasure hunting at thrift stores and estate sales into a thriving business venture, Zeal's Vintage. As co-founders of this family-owned and operated vintage and antique dealership, we specialize in curating a diverse collection of unique, one-of-a-kind items ranging from glassware and textiles to clocks, lamps, and various home decors.

Our inventory, rich in variety, includes original artworks, sculptures, and prints, with a special affection for mid-century modern and rustic farmhouse styles. However, our selection spans various styles and periods, offering something for every taste, from classic antiques to modern vintage treasures.

At Zeal's Vintage, located in Old Crowe's Antiques, Littleton, CO, we aim to craft a cozy and inviting atmosphere where customers can explore and connect with the perfect piece for their homes. Our approach to business is not just about sales; it's about creating an experience, a journey through time and style, for every visitor who steps into our space.

How We Named Our Business

Like our business, the name Zeal's comes from the most important piece of who we are, our family. The first initials of our names (including our son and dogs) create Zeal's: Zoe (dog), Erik, Andrea, Lachlan (son), Stella (dog).

Andrea Streff

I'm Andrea Streff, not just your average tech SEO consultant and partner over at Elementive but also a co-founder of Zeal's Vintage alongside my wonderful husband. My journey in website marketing started in the early 2000s, right when the digital world began to bloom. From witnessing the birth of social media to navigating the ever-changing landscape of Google and websites, I've been hooked on the digital universe since day one. It's this curiosity and love for the internet that drives my work at Elementive, where every day is a new adventure in solving digital puzzles with my business partner, Matthew and our skilled subcontractors. But, it's not all tech and data for me.

Outside of the digital realm, I live for the thrill of the hunt—treasure hunting, that is. My husband and I turned our weekend hobby of exploring thrift stores and estate sales into Zeal's Vintage, our very own vintage and antique haven. Nestled in Old Crowe's Antiques in Littleton, CO, our booth is a curated collection of the unique and extraordinary, from mid-century modern finds to rustic farmhouse gems. Every piece in our store has a story, and we're here to help you find the one that speaks to you, whether you're a seasoned collector or just looking to add a touch of vintage charm to your space.

At heart, I'm a storyteller, a seeker of hidden treasures, and a believer in the magic of connecting people with pieces that hold history and heart. Zeal's Vintage isn't just a business; it's a journey through time and style, an experience we've lovingly crafted for anyone who walks into our booth.

When I'm not immersed in the digital world or treasure hunting for Zeal's, I'm blessed with a life filled with love from my amazing husband and son, support from an incredible extended family, and the joy of our two sweet little dogs.

I'm always up for a chat over coffee, sharing stories, and making new connections. So, if you're ever in the neighborhood or just curious about the world of vintage and antiques (or even tech SEO), drop me a line. I'd love to get to know you and explore how we can add a little more zeal to your life!
