About
My passion for antiques and personal histories is life-long. With a close relationship to my grandparents, I was steeped in family photos, songs, and stories of their childhoods and working lives as farmers in the midwest. At an early age, I valued the wisdom and gifts of my grandparents, which in turn led me into researching and documenting our family history, and ultimately into working with other families to preserve their memories and histories, while working through their life transitions. Many of my deepest and earliest memories hinge on my grandparent’s love and home. Personal artifacts will always hold my childhood history--like my grandpa’s guitar, his chair, grandma’s collection of perfume bottles and jewelry, her cookbooks ….
I am passionate about research, preserving history, listening to the stories behind objects, and finding new owners who can value and add to the stories and histories of the items I sell.
