Introducing the Owner of Scout Supply Co.

 

My name is Megan Gaworecki and I am the owner, curator, finder & gatherer obsessed with all things vintage, weathered and aged. I have always been a collector and a creator. One of my first collections consisted of vintage compacts I would collect from going to flea markets with my parents. Now my hoard consists of neon letters and cinema signs to vintage cameras and globes. As a child I would create friendship bracelets and jewelry and sell them instead of the typical lemonade stand. I have always used my hands and love to create even if it was just for me. Now I am an art teacher and get to do and make and inspire every day for a living. I never thought of sharing my collections with others but in joining the world of Pinterest and seeing the style of weddings and vignettes that were popular it peeked my interest. I remember what a hard time I had with planning and decorating my barn wedding in 2003 and after researching other vintage rental companies I decided to start here in Hudson. It is a bit intimidating starting a new business when you already have a full time job, not to mention a family but here I am trying and hopefully succeeding.  I am actively using my hands day in and day out. I always thought it was a curse that I enjoyed such a variety of media: painting, drawing, textiles, wood working, etc. I so envied other artists who had one focused area of interest. I know that running Scout will bring all of these elements together for me.

Locust Street Market Design Job

 

 

We can't do much about the fluorescent lighting but we can make the walls a bit more interesting. At Scout we spent many hours folding old readers digest books into sculptural wall hangings. Time life warner's, "The Greatest Generation" books add pops of color and pattern. Yesterday I watched people walk up and down the stairs and stop to look and touch and give their compliments. Remember that not only do we have design services here at Scout but we have the ability to rent out props and décor. From weddings, parties, and even your front window for your business Scout is here and ready.

The Scout Brand

 

 

 

It was a July day back in 2003, a red barn, the rolling bluffs and hills of Root River country and there was a wedding. A DIY country wedding. Fit with a white peaked tent, prairie flowers in bell jars, white paper lanterns, and twinkle lights in every tree. It was my wedding and my vision had come together. There were many little details that I stressed and pained over, too many to mention, I did it all on my own. I found the resources and rentals and plates myself and it was tough! There were certainly no where near as many resources as there are today. I enjoyed and reveled over that experience and even though I am late to the party, that being the hipster DIY party, I still have that same vision and drive. In some ways I was early because no one had ever been to a wedding quite like it. My goal here at Scout is to bring that DIY sprit to your next event and photo shoot. Helping you to stand out in the sea of trendy weddings and looks. Thinking beyond "popular at the moment" Scout can translate your vision into a classic and timeless event in your life. Here at Scout we will go above and beyond to make sure your moments visually fit your style. Let us start a conversation today and let Scout be part of your story.

Inventory

Did you know here at Scout we have a variety of things that you may not have thought of as décor? We have many pieces in our inventory that translate well to events and vintage inspired themes. Functional pieces such as an old whimsical wooden ironing board turned bar top, to antler sheds as simple and almost abstract centerpiece accents, to bare bones lamp shades hanging from trees with Edison light bulbs, to discarded and perfectly tarnished glided mirrors to accent your table tops and candles perfectly. Here at Scout we are available to consult and help you dream up ways to infuse a little vintage and style into your next event.
