Is the Collectible market dead? ☠️


Hi Reader,

To be totally honest, I've never really dabbled in the collectible market.

I've talked to a lot people over the years who said most of that stuff isn't really worth any money, and you can find plenty of reselling "influencers" repeating that idea online.

But what if the collectible market actually isn't gone? What if there is still a way to do well reselling collectibles?

That's what I'm discussing in today's new YouTube video: My recent experience selling collectibles, how it went, and what I learned.

Online Shop on a Brief Pause

A huge thank you to everyone who shopped my 25% off clearance sale in the online shop last week 🤗 All orders have been shipped and your finds should be arriving soon.

This week, the shop is closed to the public while it undergoes a rebuild and rebranding.

My goal is to reopen it next week 👍🏼

Next week I'll also be finally sharing the details of what's coming for Lost & Found. I know I've been teasing for over a month now, and I appreciate your patience. I promise more info is coming very, very soon.

See you next week!

Let's Stay Connected!

I just shared a new blog post all about decorating with blue and white: where the look comes from, why it’s lasted so long, and some simple ways to incorporate it into your home without changing everything....

One of the things I love about sourcing in Europe is how everyday objects were made with a quiet kind of beauty. Not necessarily meant to be decorative… but made well enough that they become beautiful over time. A few small French pieces went live in the First Arrivals online shop today, and I thought I’d share a little about them. First are a pair of old painter’s palettes. They're amazing examples of how the process of making art can become art itself. Layered with years worth of oil paint,...

Happy Friday Reader! My England YouTube video just went live this morning 🇬🇧 To be completely honest, I wasn't sure I had filmed enough footage to even have a video to share, the trip was such a blur 🫠 So I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled my camera videos and found plenty of behind the scenes footage to make a video I'm really proud of. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And just fyi . . . at the 13:40 mark in the video I get pretty vulnerable and share more about this whole giant...
