Meet the people that move Mountain Maryland forward
“I see myself as a cra er of confidence,
allowing my guests to see how fun and
therapeu c dressing up can be. Because
vintage clothing is so inten onal, it o en
opens up a feeling of connec on to the past,
but I encourage more modern a tudes of
inclusion and posi vity in the shop.”

Appalachian culture is steeped in tradi on with creators, cra smen, and
forgers working with their hands to make something, whether simple or
complex. But it goes beyond the physical. Today’s Mountain Maryland makers
are filled with crea vity and the spirit of entrepreneurship, making
experiences, memories, and products that they hope will stand the test of me
and tradi on.

CAULDRON VINTAGE • FROSTBURG, MD
Cauldron Vintage is a curated vintage shop in the heart of downtown Frostburg,
whose opening served as a bright spot during the height of the COVID 19
pandemic. Given that there are very few op ons for alterna ve and sustainable
fashion in the area, Michelle saw her store as an opportunity to provide that
service while inspiring crea vity at a ordable prices.
