About Me


Every piece of furniture has a story — and I’ve always believed the best ones deserve a second chapter. I’m Wendy, the hands, heart, and paint‑splattered apron behind Regained Relics. What started as a simple love for transforming forgotten pieces into something beautiful has grown into a cozy little corner of creativity here in East Hants, Nova Scotia.

I did start out with an antiques and collectibles shop but over time, realized that furniture revival and upcycling was my passion. And I wanted to connect with other like minded people, so I rebranded and changed my shop into a place for makers, dreamers, and anyone who loves the magic of a good transformation. I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to see what you create next.
