About Me

A dive into how I love vintage jewelry...

I started selling Lego items at the age of 9 and was a collector too. Around 2014, Lego just wasn't selling enough for me so I branched out into vintage smalls and jewelry. I used to call my business "Legoman of The Midwest" but I had to change it since I do not just sell Lego anymore. In 2018, "Heartland Picker" was born and I came up with the name due to the fact that I live in the Heartland. 

I have a wide knowledge in vintage and antique jewelry and I'm still learning new styles and brands every day. 

One fun fact about me is that I collect Enamel Flower Brooches from the 60's and 70's. I have over 700, all unique and different enamel flower brooches. 

The photo was from Antiques Roadshow 2025 where I made it on to the program under "Antiques Roadshow - Living History Farms Hour 2"! 

So, enjoy the items I have for sale and make sure to come back again! Thank you! - Brandon.
