🎉❤️ Help us wish Sean’s Dad, Dave, a VERY HAPPY 65TH BIRTHDAY!!! ❤️🎉

A lot of people may not know this, but Dave is a huge part of the reason Sean became an artist in the first place — and ultimately started his career as a tattoo artist. 🎨

Dave is an artist himself and spent years airbrushing designs on shirts and painting on canvas. Sean grew up watching his dad create, and that influence helped shape the artist so many of you know today.

Dave has also always been one of the quiet forces behind Swan & Crow. He’s the calm in the middle of all of our chaos 😂, always willing to lend a hand, and during our big events he makes sure the artists and staff are fed and taken care of.

And if Dave is on the grill — especially making pulled pork — you already know nobody is arguing with the grill master. 🔥😂

He also genuinely loves visiting with our clients, talking with people, and making everyone feel welcome. And if the conversation turns to faith, Dave will happily talk about God with anyone. His faith is a huge part of who he is, and he’s always willing to encourage, listen, and share.

So today we’re celebrating 65 years of Dave — Dad, artist, grill master, helper, encourager, and one of the people who helped shape Sean into the artist he is today. ❤️

Happy 65th Birthday, Dave! 🎂🎉
We love you and appreciate everything you do for our family and for Swan & Crow. 🖤

🎉🔥 Help us wish Sean’s momma, Lisa, a VERY HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY!!! 🔥🎉

If you’ve ever wondered where Sean Olson gets some of that personality from… we present Exhibit A. 😂❤️

Lisa Procell Olson is the fiery redhead who raised our very own bearded baby Leprechaun 🍀😂, has spent a lifetime keeping him in line, and somehow STILL has enough patience left over to keep the rest of us straight too.

Sean may be her actual child… but Chelsea would like everyone to know that she has worked very hard to secure the position of favorite. 😌😂
Sean disputes this claim.
Lisa wisely refuses to comment.

One thing is for sure — when Lisa is around, there is never a shortage of laughing, cutting up, stories being told, or somebody getting picked on. And if you put Lisa, Chelsea, and Sean together somewhere they’re supposed to act serious… good luck to everybody involved. Sorry, Dave 😂

Behind all the joking, though, she is a huge part of the family behind Swan & Crow, and we’re incredibly grateful for her love, support, sass, and for giving us Sean… even if she did make him travel-sized. 😂🍀

So from all of us at Swan & Crow, help us celebrate 60 YEARS of Lisa! 🥳🎂❤️

Happy Birthday, Momma! We love you!!
Here’s to 60 years of fire, laughter, family, and keeping Sean humble. 😂🔥🖤

Confession: I'm reaching the point where every time I find the perfect spot for something...three more treasures magically appear. 😂

And honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Swan & Crow Mercantile is filling up with beautiful, quirky, nostalgic, and one-of-a-kind finds, and I couldn't resist giving y'all another little sneak peek at what's waiting inside.

From vintage glass and pottery to primitive furniture, Halloween décor, Christmas treasures, artwork, Pyrex, and the wonderfully unexpected...you truly never know what you'll stumble across.

The best part? You don't have to wait for the official opening if you see something you love.

If a particular piece catches your eye, send us a message! We'll be happy to arrange pickup before the grand opening.

Around here, inventory is always changing, so if you fall in love with something, don't wait too long...it might not be here tomorrow. 😉

So...which piece is coming home with you? 👀🖤

🦢🐦 Welcome to the flock.

🖤 Collector Roll Call! 🖤

Let's settle something...

When you walk into an antique store, what section do you head to first? 👀

🦢 Glass
🖤 Furniture
📚 Books
🪞 Mirrors
🎄 Vintage Christmas
🥄 Silver
🎨 Artwork
🕰️ Clocks
🦢 Oddities
✨ Or something else entirely?

I'm always making mental notes of what everyone loves because it helps me know what to keep an eye out for during estate sales, auctions, and all of my treasure hunts.

There's a pretty good chance I'll stumble across your dream find sooner or later...if I haven't already. 😉

👇 Tell me what you collect—or what you've been searching everywhere to find!

🖤 The Hunt Never Stops... 🖤

If you've been wondering why it's been a little quieter around here...it's because I've been doing what I love most—treasure hunting. 😅

The past week has been an absolute blur of: 🦢 Estate sales 🖤 Auctions 🦢 Curb alerts 🖤 Antique stores 🦢 Private buys 🖤 Anywhere there might be hidden treasures...
..and now I'm officially out of room. 😂

These photos? This is my reality right now.

Every flat surface is covered. Every corner is full. Boxes on boxes. Furniture waiting to be cleaned. Glass waiting to be wrapped. Treasures waiting to be researched.

I've reached the point where I honestly have no idea where to put one more thing without violating the laws of physics. 🤣

I keep telling myself, "Just one more stop..."
..and somehow I come home with a truckload every single time. 😅

The exciting part? Y'all are about to start seeing it all come to life.

This weekend alone brought home some INCREDIBLE auction finds that honestly took my breath away, along with estate sale treasures and some unbelievable curb alert rescues that deserved a second chance.

Over the next several days you'll start seeing: ✨ Auction finds ✨ Estate sale treasures ✨ Vintage glass ✨ Furniture ✨ Beautiful oddities ✨ One-of-a-kind décor ✨ Hidden gems looking for their next home

Fair warning...if you see something you love, don't wait too long. Most of these pieces are one-of-a-kind, and once they're gone, they're gone.

👇 Now I have to know...which photo are you zooming in on first? What catches your eye? 👀

The Cabinet is still being curated...
..if I can ever find the floor again. 🦢🖤

Well… today’s picking trip got a little out of hand. 😂👀

I started taking pictures of today’s finds and had to stop because my phone was basically begging for its life. 💀 And the crazy part? This isn’t even everything. I still have SO much more to unpack, research, clean up, photograph, and go through.

Today brought home a little bit of everything — antique & vintage pottery, Wedgwood, McCoy, old cast iron, English and German pieces, vintage toys, antique books, folk art, brass, architectural pieces, local Louisiana ephemera, Christmas finds, old kitchenware, furniture, and some absolutely WEIRD little treasures. Basically exactly the kind of chaos I want Swan & Crow Mercantile to be. 😂🖤

Some of these pieces surprised the hell out of me once I started flipping them over and finding the maker’s marks. 👀

I’ll be sharing more as I work my way through everything, because there is a LOT left that I haven’t even photographed yet.

For now… which find in these pictures are y’all claiming as your favorite? 👀

Old things. Odd things. Beautiful things. And apparently whatever I can fit in the vehicle. 😂

🖤 SOLD! 🖤

Our very first Swan & Crow Mercantile treasure has officially found its forever home!

This sweet blue & white porcelain cat was the first piece to leave the shop, and we couldn't imagine a better way to begin this journey.

Thank you to everyone who's been cheering us on, following along, sharing our posts, and believing in this dream before we've even officially opened our doors. Every like, comment, share, and purchase means more than you know.

We're still sorting, cleaning, pricing, and staging hundreds of treasures, and trust us... you've only seen a tiny glimpse of what's waiting.

Here's to the first sale of many. 🥂

Welcome to Swan & Crow Mercantile. 🦢🐦‍⬛

🖤 The Hunt Continues... 🖤

Every antique store begins long before the doors ever open.

It starts with early mornings, dusty shelves, packed vehicles, curb alerts, estate sales, auctions, thrift stores, and the excitement of finding that one piece you just can't leave behind.

Right now, Swan & Crow Mercantile is somewhere in the middle of that adventure.

The shop may still look like organized chaos, but hidden within the stacks are incredible treasures just waiting to find their place... and eventually, their new home.

Here are just a few of this week's favorite finds. Every piece has a story, and every treasure is hand-selected because we simply couldn't leave it behind.

We're getting closer every day, and we can't wait to share the finished space with you. Until then, we'll continue sharing sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes moments, and the incredible treasures we uncover along the way.

Which piece would you be taking home? 👀

Until then...

🖤 The hunt continues.
