"Antiquing: the last treasure hunt."

Join me for my twenty-first century adventures!

From the rural to the ritzy, I travel the east coast, seeking out unusual or "one of a kind" items to inspire the thoughtful and creative collector.

I love salvaging and sharing.

In "real" life, I'm a doc filmmaker and producer. (See the My Art section of the store for the film my husband and I made.)
I live in NYC and the Hamptons for a few months out of the year, and I work on all sort of inane, occasionally wonderful (but more often terrible) projects in the film and video world. The rest of the year, I live on a neat old farm in the middle of nowhere North Carolina, with my sweet and humorous Jason.
As the song goes, "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll".
(Ok yeah, I'm a little bit pirate too, definitely a little bit pirate.)

I caught my junk bug going to yard sales in the Hamptons with my mother. I think it was Annie Leibowitz's sale about 5 years ago where I really caught the bug. I've been moonlighting as an antique dealer ever since, buying and sell all sorts of crazy stuff any which way I can.

This shop provides me a great outlet for my more aesthetic or humorous finds. Happily, it's also purged my desire for a physical retail store, something I'd never have the time (or the constitution!) to run.
Now, how to purge my desire for goats...
Hmm, get goats or get http://www.domestikate.com/ up and running?
