About Me

Collected with intention, not imitation.

The Collected Toad was built on a simple idea:
a home should feel curious and collected, not mainstream.

What started as childhood memories—wandering antique stores and catching toads near my grandpa’s cottage—has grown into a carefully curated collection of vintage and antique home pieces.

Every item you’ll find here is hand-selected with intention. Not everything makes the cut. I look for pieces that bring character, nostalgia, and warmth into a space—items that feel like they’ve lived a life before landing in yours.

This isn’t about following trends.
It’s about creating a home that tells a story.

You won’t find mass-produced decor here. You’ll find:

• timeless pieces
• conversation starters
• and those small, unexpected finds that make a home feel personal

The Collected Toad is more than a shop—it's something I’m building piece by piece, with the goal of creating a space (both online and in person) that feels nostalgic, inspiring, and a little bit magical.

Thanks for being here and following along as this story unfolds.
