Bio

I have loved art my whole life. I remember so vividly walking into kindergarten on the first day and seeing that big easel and smelling those big bottles of smelly tempera paint that schools use. I was in love~~
I have retained that love my entire life. I have a degree in Commercial Design with a minor in Art History from Adelphi University, Garden City, New York.
As I grew into an adult, my love changed from those big smelly paints to anything with a past.
Vintage photos, old lace, ephemera of any kind, and pretty paper are the things I must have now.
I give them new life and lots of new homes around the world.
I am a mother to three wonderful children, and two great stepdaughters. We live and play right near the beach in the southeastern tip of NC.
What more could I ask for??
