WHY VINTAGE?: It started in the late 60s, but got tipped over the edge with my worship of "Mad Men": Mid-century modern is kinda my church for decades now, my spark and inspiration. Vintage items draw me in; they speak to me. As a tot, I recall Mid-Mod design and thought, "This is better". As a TOT. And, pretty much, things have only deepened from there.

WHY A SHOP?: I opened my shop as a sideline business, but as it grows, it becomes a bit more of a calling. What lights me up is learning I've reconnected someone to a long-missing piece of their past. I'm delighted when I hear something like, "I lost this item when I was a kid and I'm in tears today because I get to be reunited with it. Thank you!"

WHAT ABOUT PAM?: My interests include "Mad Men", Britain, beagles, the Beatles, Disneyland, and Barbies. The old ones. With real eyelashes.

I also work as a voice-over artist (30 years and counting), actor, writer (visit Theme Park Press and check out my books, "The Mystical Mouse" and "The Cotton Candy Road Trip"), and spiritual life coach (often utilizing the tarot in my work).

WHAT ABOUT HER ADORABLE HUSBAND AND PUP?: I have an adorable husband and an equally adorable beagle.
