I grew up in the heart of the Midwest, but my soul belonged to another era—one of candlelit parlors, ornate mourning jewelry, and the quiet elegance of Victorian times. While others embraced the present, I found solace in antique shops and weathered book pages, longing for a world where craftsmanship and mystery intertwined.

 

Now, I keep that past alive—collecting, creating, and sharing relics of history with those who, like me, are drawn to the romance of the forgotten. If you find beauty in the aged and the gothic, welcome—you are not alone in your longing for the past.
