I bought six Heartland International China cereal bowls to replace broken ones from my mother's collection. They were carefully wrapped and in pristine condition, exactly as pictured. Very happy with my purchase!

About carohope

Sales 4,044

On Etsy since 2009

My study, where the long hours of research and listing work happens. My assemblage artwork on the walls surrounds me.
My beautiful photo studio, the former sleeping porch. It provides me with the natural light I just adore.
You’ll find quirky displays of my finds throughout my house. I assemble them into nightlights for the bedrooms.

An Expert in Curious Knowledge and A Creative Individual

A PhD in Folklore and Folklife made me into an expert collector and curator of curious knowledge, and prepared me to work in a museum or university, but my independent outlook and creative instincts steered me on a different path. Fortunately, I live in a big sprawling stone house, and it gives me space to store and work on my wide ranging collection, manage a business, as well as create art. It’s a beehive of activity and every square inch is put to good use.
