I am excited to use the Etsy platform for my vintage, arts, and collectable items. Happily I fit all 3 categories. My first thought of being an artist was when I was a very young girl. I had a chalk board my master pieces were made on before I was given crayons, as safer choice. My most memorable moments are going treasure hunting with my people, where ever we go we seem to find the best rocks, sticks, rocks and you never know what. I had a nice long run at the sewing machine It was my best friend for a long time. Proceeding that part of my life, I ran a home craft party business and expanded and opened a gift shop where paper mache was the bulk of my work. There's not enough space to tell you all the mediums and art Technics iv'e experimented with. All about it in a future update. I'm working on paper mache items right now. I haven't done too much of it for about 4 years now. I'm so happy to be back at it. It's interesting to me to see the changes and directions i'm going on. Another new journey sewing machine and needles included. Collectables in my shop come from a variety of places, also an extensive list for another time.
The vintage items in my shop have been loved and cared for. My sisters and I have experienced 4 persons close to us passing from this life in the last 5 years. We have acquired many vintage items from them. As sad to us as it is, we can't n keep all their precious mementos that they kept dear in their lives.
