All of my life I have been passionate about home interiors. It has been the canvas of my art.
I made a successful career with a retail store called "The Country Goose" For 13 years we supplied a variety of home furnishings. Our main design focus was "Country" in every form. Americana, English, French, and a constant rotation of eclectic furnishings and accessories.
The next chapter of my on going pre occupation with "Stuff" I became a manufactures rep. I had 40 different lines of Home Furnishings & Gifts. I sold to all the stores in my area many of whom I knew from being in the retail business.I did a lot of shopping in the process.
I was then fortunate to travel the world extensively for 5 years.Seeing many beautiful homes. Country estates, farmhouses,hunting lodges and some of the finest Hotels and Inns. Also, some not so glamorous places like tents and yurts. From my experience traveling I learned more about lifestyle and entertaining, the beautiful surroundings were there to support and create the feel of warmth, friendship, and to show it's soul the personality of the owners.
I have a bad habit of going to garage and estate sales. I cannot pass up a great piece of furniture, art piece, china, flatware, textiles, and anything else I feel is worthy. So................. I have a place where I can list my great finds.I like to call junk. Welcome to my world. Have fun.
