First post!

Thank you so much for checking out my new blog! My name is Carmen, and I'm the sole proprietor of the vintage shop Crow & Tome, specializing in estate jewelry, books, and home goods. I personally select, research, clean, photograph, and list every single item in my shop with one goal in mind: to bring the best in vintage to you at an affordable price point.

I also want to share with you the treasure trove of information and resources I have acquired since opening my Etsy shop back in 2021. Hence this blog! Here you'll find informative posts and short essays on a variety of news and topics related to antique and vintage goods; helpful resources for identifying and collecting costume jewelry, books, and other treasures; tips and tricks for thrifting, estate sales, and flea market bargain hunting; news and trends in jewelry, home decor, and fashion; and much more!

I'm also so interested to hear what you have to say! What types of content are you interested in? What are you collecting, and how are you using it? What's your best-ever vintage find? Let me know or just say hi in the comments. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
