While earlier than my recollection, I have been involved in all things old beginning when I went to my first flea market at the age of one week! I started my first business venture at seven, selling lemonade outside my parents' antiques shop. The cost was 15 cents a cup, 10 cents for refills. Prices have gone up since then! As a young adult, I helped my parents as they organized and managed estate sales, working in the garage and eventually moving up to cashier.

Upon graduation from college I began a career working in various fields, which required computer, retail sales and research skills. In my free time, I still enjoyed antiques and collectibles and began selling items at flea markets on weekends. I enjoyed buying items, then researching and selling them to others who gave them a good home. I soon realized the internet is an amazing place, and added selling items through an internet auction. For some specialty items, this venue offers a much larger audience.

Currently, I enjoy buying and selling antique and vintage items through flea markets, antique shows, and on internet sites such as Ebay and Etsy. I also have a successful and ever-growing estate sales business. My work is always well received by the public and my clients have been extremely pleased with my services.

My knowledge involves a broad spectrum-- from antiques and collectibles to brand new furnishings and household items. This knowledge, combined with a love of research, helps me to not only identify items correctly, but also to price items accurately so they sell! My staff and I are all hard workers, always courteous and discreet in all aspects of estate liquidations.
