I love vintage and antique items, particularly jewelry. Specializing in estate finds, I often have the added advantage of learning the provenance of items. In addition, I enjoy the privilege of making life-long friends with the sellers who are parting with family pieces. I try to pass on items to those who will cherish them as much as I do.
