As a general rule, I try to include as many true antique items (1927 or before) as possible. Vintage decor pieces from the Victorian Revival of the 1970s-90s or other antique and vintage items may also be included. Please let me know in the personalization section if you have strong preferences on this!
Each box is individually assembled and never pre-made. Photos and lists in this listing are examples of the types of items you may receive.
Personalization is highly encouraged. Customers often request specific moods, aesthetics, or exclusions, and I craft each order to reflect that vision as closely as possible.
Returns are accepted 🖤
