About our matriarch

Welcome to Swannanoa Shadows. 

I'm the heart and hands behind this little world, where the past lingers and the unusual finds a home. I have always been drawn to the things of the past - the worn, the weathered, the peculiar objects that carry a story. What began as a love for collecting has grown into a passion for transforming old pieces, curating vintage treasures, and seeking out the curiosities that feel a little arcane, a little magical, and slightly spooky.

Swannanoa Shadows is my way of honoring both history and imagination. Every piece I bring here, whether carefully reworked or left in its timeless state, is chosen for its ability to spark wonder, nostalgia, or even a shiver of mystery. I believe there is a special beauty in imperfection, elegance in decay, and bringing light into the shadows.

My sincere hope is that you will find something that speaks to your soul and deserves a spot in your home. 

Love&magic, 

Kelsey
