Who is Curious Collections?

Part 2: Texas Ave & Survival Mode

Part 2: Texas Ave & Survival Mode

Curious Collections didn’t begin with instant success or polished shelves. It began with survival. As a single mom, I worked three jobs to keep both my store and my home afloat—running the shop during the day, driving Uber late into the night, and renting out bedrooms when my kids were away. There were nights I felt physically sick wondering if I could pay the bills, but quitting was never an option. Instead, I kept listening to my customers, learning what they wanted, and slowly shaping the store into something our community needed.

How It All Started: Part 1 - West Virginia

How It All Started: Part 1 - West Virginia

I didn’t go to West Virginia to start a business. I went because my dad had died. What my brother and I found in his storage units—thousands of vinyl records and carefully collected pieces of his life—changed everything. In the middle of grief, surprise, and responsibility, I found something I didn’t know I was missing: purpose. What started as an inheritance became a calling, and what followed would shape not only my life, but a record store, a community, and a decade-long journey I never imagined.
