n a sepia-tone photograph, eight women pose in a train, each laughing and clasping the swimsuit-clad waist of the woman before her. The setting is the Sandwich Boardwalk, 1940. The context is a graphic throw pillow. This is the style of Modern Vintage, a home-décor store that tells the story of Cape Cod through products custom-designed and handmade by its owners. Here, you’ll find wooden furniture with modern pops of color and an antique finish, signs displaying Sandwich ZIP codes, and canvas photographs of Sandwich locals through the decades—a creative combination of old and new.
