HunkyDory - Preserving Vintage

HunkyDory - Preserving Vintage Vintage store on the historic square in Oskaloosa, Iowa. OPEN THURSDAY 3-6 AND FRIDAY/SATURDAY 10-4. APPTS available during the week. Owner - Cheryl Holub Corns

Proceeds go towards (501(c)(3), Rescue Me International Animal Foundation. The owner of Hunky Dory, Cheryl Holub Corns, grew up on a traditional, midwestern family farm, surrounded by old people (my ancestors) and houses full of “old stuff.” She loved her childhood, and still loves old people and old stuff. The world is full of new. But vintage items bring delightful stories and memories to a spac

e. No assembly instructions with vintage items. Just the opportunity to continue the story of these pieces within your own space. Cheryl has dedicated her life to advocating for senior and special needs animals and addressing the global homeless pet crisis. Cheryl implements Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) promotional effort programs in local communities in Mahaska County in her home state of Iowa, in the United States, and where she spent over a decade abroad in Spain. Her (501(c)(3) organization covers the overall costs of her TNR programs, which includes but is not limited to, spaying/neutering homeless cat populations in both areas, socializing, nursing, and making kittens found in local communities adoptable, and covering costs of fostering stray cats and dogs. Cheryl also operates a senior and special needs animal hospice for over 3 decades in her own home. In 2024, Cheryl spayed and neutered 211 cats in Mahaska County alone. Cheryl firmly believes that the animal welfare of our community is not solely an animal issue. Rather, it is first and foremost, a human issue. Proceeds from her vintage store go towards funding her (501(c)(3), Rescue Me International Animal Foundation.

Well, they weren’t honest about the wind in the forecast 😏😂

So, today I conceded and brought plants inside instead of chasing them 🏃‍♀️

But we did have glorious sunshine and I love how it fills the space.

That china cabinet is one of my favorite pieces. It’s beautiful and comes from a family very near and dear to me.

Vintage treasures I proudly source locally 💜

Happy Wednesday folks. xx

Well today’s weather was a bit moody 🥶💨🌬️

The morning was spent getting cats to the vet clinic to spay/neuter for TNR (TrapNeuterReturn).

I spent several moments of the day chasing ferns and mums down the street from in front of the shop (thanks excessive wind 😏).

And it was Rocket’s turn to help uncover some treasures today. Such a sweet little one 💜

Stay Warm. Stay safe. xx

We woke up to autumn today 🍁🍂

I promise we’re a vintage store but also … 😉

Look who stopped by to visit me up close and let me know he/she 🤷‍♀️ is doing just fine ❤️‍🩹❤️

And our little but mighty, Marvelous Marvin, is now with his forever family and thoroughly entertaining his new, big brother ❤️😂

Wonderful updates indeed. xx

The fog has lifted and it’s a glorious morning in downtown Oskaloosa 🍁

Today is the last day to enjoy Oskaloosa Vendor and Farmers Market for the season. Come support local vendors. They’re here until 12.

Fingers crossed our little Marvelous Marvin finds his forever home. He’s got a family coming to meet him today 🤞

We love all things vintage and we definitely love happy endings for homeless animals 💜

What day is it? What month is it? 🤷‍♀️😉🤪😂

I’m about as confused as this little vintage S&P shaker girl. She’s lost her kissing partner and I’ve lost track of the calendar!

They’re hanging our store front Xmas lights 🎄
We haven’t even promoted Thanksgiving yet 🦃
And it’s going to be 83 degrees today 😳☀️🥵

Whatever holiday you fancy, we shall try and cover your interests.
All things vintage.
With a generous helping of confusion and compassion sprinkled in 💜

Welcome to Wednesday!

It’s been a week already and Ollie is taking a much needed nap 😉

Monday and Tuesday per usual, I was out and about doing my best to control the community’s homeless cat population and end suffering ❤️‍🩹
8 more cats were spayed/neutered 💪🤞

And yes, that’s Marvelous Marvin, joining the shop crew for the moment while he finds his forever home 😻

I’m in the shop cleaning, staging and unpacking treasures. If you see me, pop in and say hello!

Otherwise hasta mañana 💜

A gorgeous Saturday morning in downtown Oskaloosa 🍁

The Oskaloosa Vendor and Farmers Market goes until 12. Come grab all things local!

Rocco is safe and sound in Spain, so you’re all stuck with Ollie and Rocket and me 😉

I’m still moving slow but I’m here!
And I’m not sick or contagious.
I suffered some injuries to my hand and the pain is hard to manage.
But nothing contagious so come see me ❤️‍🩹

Well folks, Friday’s don’t seem to be my lucky day. Not feeling well enough to open today.
I’m sure tomorrow will be better ❤️‍🩹❤️

October!! New month, new opportunities 🍁

It still feels like summer but perhaps these vintage steins and mugs will inspire vibes 🍻

Ollie and little Rocket have been greeting folks as usual, and us humans are here until 4.

Stop in and wish Rocco well 🎉
He departs for Spain on Monday 🇪🇸🎥🎬

Happy, joyful weekend to you all 💜

💜💜 SOLD!! 💜💜

Introducing our Upcycled Denim Quilt - Large Patchwork Quilt - Blue Jean Blanket.
This is truly a piece of art.
It was handmade, with love, time and expertise.

As with all of our items, the proceeds go to our mission to end the unnecessary suffering of homeless animals in our community. This purchase will fund medical care and spay/neuter surgeries to control the cat population locally.

We are humbled by this generous donation and in awe of the talent.

This folks, is an heirloom gift.
What a wedding gift this would make 💒
Christmas 🎄
High school or college graduation 👩‍🎓

The size is 90x90 and fits nicely over a king size bed.

We are offering it in store locally first, before we list in online.
It’s our community this benefits, so we’d love for someone local to welcome this to their home and family.

A truly, feel good purchase.
And a true treasure 💜
