About


Welcome to The Curious World, a place for lovers of history, antiques, oddities, vintage ephemera and more.

I'm Bridget. I'm an avid lover of history, and whether for my YouTube channel or purely for my own personal enjoyment, I spend a lot of time researching. Over time, the more obscure, unusual, and/or interesting things I learned about, the more I wished I could have some form of memento to keep those stories alive. I began designing T-shirts and other products to try and tap into that very specific form of nostalgia--like rediscovering long-lost memories from our collective past.

That's how this shop began.

From there, it's grown into a place where I can share with you all of the wonderful antiques, ephemera and more that I've found on my travels. I hope you find them as fascinating as I do.

Welcome, and stay curious!
