Hi There!
I am a baby boomer that has been dealing in Antiques full time now for 24 years. I grew up around them and was encouraged to love them. And love them I do!
When antiquing with my Mother, Sister, Grandmother, and anyone else we could drag along I started buying handkerchiefs and S.P. sugar shells, something small and inexpensive to keep me busy and "out of their hair". (This was when I was about 8 yrs. old.)
My Father, meanwhile, was a career Army Officer and he just put up with "us girls" as he dragged us all over the place! Consequently I spent 5 years of my childhood in northern France. Hence, my taste evolved!
My Mother, meanwhile, dragged my sister and me all over western Europe, still antiquing. She was an adventurer who never met a stranger, hence my personality!
I was in the decorating business for years but decided to sell the things I love most.
I believe in treating myself right, respecting others as I would myself, and, most of all, living every day glad to be breathing on this glorious earth! It is a happy place if you make it so.
....Thanks Mom...........
Specialties:
I love Decorative Accessories, especially with a French flair, they enhance our lives and make us feel good, right?
Lamps, Chandeliers, Cushy Textiles, Good Artwork, and all the little "Objects" that make a house a Home.
The linens and hand needle work are still my first love!
Our Business Policies and Services
Shipping:
I always ship next business day after Payment and I prefer Priority Mail because it's faster
and only pennies more than Parcel Post. If the postage comes to less than what the buyer paid I will refund the difference back to the buyer's PayPal account (over $1.00).
Policies:
If a buyer is bidding on multiples I prefer that they wait to pay me. I will invoice after each purchase just to keep a running total for my records but ask that the buyer only pay when she/he is finished (I have waited sometimes up to a week!)
The reason I ask you to wait on paying is because it makes combining shipping costs much easier for me.
