About

Hi, I'm Sawyer

I'm a vintage collector and antique curator based in Wisconsin. When I'm not hunting for treasures, you'll find me outdoors (usually with my camera in hand) - whether that's hiking, camping, or just exploring new places. My love for vintage started with art glass and antique books, but it's grown into a full-blown passion for preserving beautiful, well-crafted objects that deserve a second life.

Where Every Piece Has a Story

Welcome to Crows Nest Vintage Decor, where I curate one-of-a-kind vintage and antique treasures for collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate the character and craftsmanship of bygone eras.

The Hunt for Hidden Gems

I've always been drawn to the beauty of vintage objects—the way light catches in hand-blown art glass, the warm patina on aged brass, the weight and texture of a well-loved antique book. What started as a personal passion for collecting has evolved into a mission to rescue exceptional pieces from obscurity and connect them with people who will treasure them.

Every item in my collection is hand-selected. I spend countless hours hunting through estate sales, auctions, and private collections, looking for pieces that speak to me—items with exceptional craftsmanship, beautiful design, or that intangible quality that makes you stop and look twice.

What I Look For

My personal soft spots are art glass and antique books, but I'm drawn to anything with soul. I seek out pieces from renowned makers like Fire & Light, Blenko, Viking, and Fenton, as well as beautifully crafted brass, copper, and pewter items that showcase the artistry of their era. Each piece is carefully inspected for authenticity, condition, and that special something that makes it worth preserving.

Why Vintage Matters

In a world of mass production, vintage items offer something irreplaceable: uniqueness, quality, and sustainability. When you choose vintage, you're not just decorating your space—you're preserving history, supporting sustainable consumption, and surrounding yourself with objects that were made to last.

My Promise to You

Every item is accurately described, honestly photographed, and carefully packaged. I want you to love your vintage finds as much as I do. If you have questions about a piece—its history, condition, or how it might work in your space—don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to share what I know or provide additional photos.

Thank you for supporting small business and keeping these beautiful objects in circulation. Here's to finding the perfect piece for your collection.
