It is Caroline Ricci’s  birthday today. Daughter to Maryanne (Daley) Ricci and Robert Ricci, Caroline was born in La Jolla, CA. That’s a long way from Caroline’s maternal grandparents, the late Joan (Riley) Daley (1929-2019) and the late Frederick (Nick) Daley (1927-1991).

As we wrote in last year’s post,* “Although growing up a Southern California girl, CC, as she is known, has plenty of Pawtucket and Little Rhody running through her veins. Aunts, uncles, and cousins galore are scattered throughout her East Coast family tree. Her dad is a Pawtucket guy and her paternal grandfather, Robert L. Ricci holds a commanding position with the Rhode Island State Senate.”

After graduating from Marist College, Caroline began work in San Francisco. After a while though, it was Colorado that appealed to her, and off she went and that’s where she roams today. Presently, CC has a quite an online business called OldNewZz.  She resells vintage and thrifted clothing on Instagram.  Caroline started this business when she was in college. She contemplated that if she was able to do something she loved, while educating people about more sustainable ways to shop, then it would be a win win. When Caroline was at Marist, she would do pop up shops on campus.  Now she just sells directly on Instagram!

Happy Birthday, Caroline!
