Account: Lost & Found Market Platform: Instagram and Facebook Followers: 4,527 (Instagram), 4,400 (Facebook) Bangor-based vintage lover Logan Hanson runs the Lost & Found Market, where you can shop for vintage jewelry, clothing, vinyl and décor at quarterly markets held in Portland and Bangor, along with occasional pop-ups elsewhere in the state.
The next market is Oct. 6 at the Morgan Hill Event Center in Hermon, followed by one on Nov. 3 inside Brick South at Thompson’s Point in Portland.
Hanson said she got into collecting vintage and secondhand items at a young age. “I would frequent thrift stores and garage sales with my mom. There was always excitement in the mystery of not knowing what treasure awaits.
” She was also influenced by one of her grandfathers, who would salvage small engines, broken vacuum cleaners and other electrical items that he could use to make low-cost repairs. “I don’t think it was about the money, I think it was the satisfaction of helping people and keeping repairable items out of the landfill that drove him,” Hanson said.
