Collected & Curated.

Welcome to Collected & Curated — a space where vintage finds meet the stories that shaped them. Here, I share the history behind the treasures in my shop, from antique oddities to mid-century classics. Whether it’s a brass trinket with decades of patina or a forgotten maker’s mark that reveals a hidden past, this blog is a peek behind the curtain — a look at what makes an object not just beautiful, but meaningful.

Each piece has a past. I just help tell it.
