From the Ladies at the Carousel: Welcome to The Collector’s Journal
Every piece has a story. Here at Carousel Collectibles & Creative Studio, we’ve made it our mission to uncover those stories and share them with you.
The Collector’s Journal is where vintage finds, antiques, and handmade treasures come to life beyond the shelves of our shop. Each month, we’ll feature a Product of the Month—a unique item that caught our eye—and take you behind the scenes into its history, meaning, and charm.
Whether it’s a quirky collectible, a piece of clothing from a bygone era, or an antique with a fascinating past, this is our way of connecting you to the magic of vintage living.

What you can expect in The Collector’s Journal:
A spotlight on one featured product each month
Historical tidbits and fun facts about the item
Creative ways to style, display, or enjoy it today
Sneak peeks into our ever-changing collection
(Soon!) Video features so you can experience each product’s story even more vividly
We believe antiques and vintage goods aren’t just “things”—they’re threads of history, meant to be celebrated, cherished, and enjoyed all over again.
Thank you for reading, and welcome to The Collector’s Journal. We can’t wait to share the stories behind the treasures with you.
See you soon!
Subscribe to stay updated, and let us know in the comments what kinds of treasures you’d love to see featured next. We can’t wait to share more stories with you.
