What should we know about you?
I’m a former elementary art teacher and mom to three young children, with a passion for travel, decorating, treasure hunting for vintage and eclectic finds, spending time outdoors, and seeking out new adventures and experiences based upon the changing seasons. I grew up in this area before moving to the Carolinas, where I lived and taught art for twelve years, before returning home to the area. Moving back to the Fox Valley region, with its rich history, reignited my passion for sourcing vintage items. I enjoy researching the value and unique history behind each item I find out in the wild; taking it one step further by artfully staging these items and then offering them for sale, so they may be loved all over again for many years to come brings me great joy! You can find me at the Kane County Flea market this Fall, with many beautiful new treasures and unique home decor to offer. I hope you’ll come by to say hello, and possibly find your next treasure.
