I started Tinker's Attic to fill a financial void when the time came for me to spend more time caring for my failing Mother. My outside business as owner of a cleaning company lead me in the direction of a work from home opportunity.

I was already self employed so the goal was to figure out a way to spend more time at home caring for my Mother. I had no intention of turning her needs over to an outsider so the goal was on. With the help of my siblings I was able to stop working away from home and concentrate my efforts here on Etsy.com.

Much of the shop stock was already in place in and around my Adrift Art Studio. I have spent many years working as a part-time artist and had grown quite the collection of mixed media materials. Much of it coming directly from the great outdoors. I love nature and everything organic.

I also enjoy recycling and re-purposing materials into my creative projects. The truth is, everything about Tinker's Attic is just an extension of who I am and what I am all about. My motto is, "It is all about the love"

I love Mother Nature and I love creativity and sharing what I have with other like mined people just makes it "all good"

Tinker's Attic was named after my oldest brother, Mother's first born child. He was always there for me when I was young, often sick in bed and very bored. Tinker would sit at my bedside and entertain my fragile self.

Tinker was my big brother and I always looked up to him. He encouraged my creative side and he did all he could do to help my Mother raise her children when my father passed away when I was 11 years old. Tinker is my guardian angel, and inspiration.
