Virginia "Auction Junkie" and Treasure Hunter
After 25 years as a Dental Hygienist I found myself unemployed, a victim of a struggling economy. But it didn't take long to see that God was giving me an opportunity to refocus on the things that I love-my family (a wonderful husband and 2 teenage boys), talking with people and anything VINTAGE!
Without a clue as to what I was doing, I set up shop at one of my favorite vintage stores and learned a lot from some wonderful people. I've spent the last couple of years only selling at antique shows and flea markets as the demands of being a Boy Scout leader and Band mom took priority.
I am a self-proclaimed "auction junkie" and treasure hunter. I search yard sales, auctions and friends basements for tired, dirty old furniture and other gems, refurbish them and find them new homes. I also have done some work for friends who couldn't part with a treasured piece of furniture or family heirloom.
My Etsy shop is an extension of my booth at The Hummingbird's Nest, located at 14920 James Monroe Hwy. Leesburg, VA. If you're ever travelling through the area I hope you'll stop by.
And if you have any questions or would like to get in touch with me, you can reach out to me through my FACEBOOK page< Maura Lynns Collections-Vintage Finds and Upcycled Home Decor.

I have many items that are not yet listed on Etsy. If you are looking for something in particular, I may have it or know someone who does.
