I’ve always been a collector of sorts but an opportunity to begin my antique and collectible education began in the early 1990’s when my mother opened a spacious Antique and Collectible store in Yukon, Oklahoma right on the famous, historic Route 66, exposing me to the vast expanse of collectible treasures because she acquired numerous vendors, took classes on almost every collectible topic, became a certified appraiser, and excessively talked and collected antiques, glassware, pottery and much more.

In 2006, my mom passed away unexpectedly. In the aftermath of her memorable life, I began looking at her stuff. She had by this time, closed the store, so her home was stacked to overflowing with antiques and collectibles and hundreds of reference books. Slowly I made the transition from cleaning out to organizing to admiring to researching to loving to at last creating my own business to sell all these antiques, collectibles and vintage treasures.

Writing articles on antiques and collectibles is satisfying and… the topics are endless. Having you here to share your knowledge and passion is especially gratifying as well. Thanks for taking the time to join in our world of…antiques and collectibles.
