collecting and selling vintage clothes, art and mid-century furniture.

collecting and selling vintage clothes, art and mid-century furniture.

My passion for vintage clothes started when I attended the Ann Arbor Art Fair on a scorching hot July day. I was not dressed for the heat, so I popped into the Get-up Vintage Store and purchased a 100% cotton dress from 1970. The addiction for quality vintage clothes became an obsession. Eventually, my closets were full of beautiful garments. That led me to participating in vintage pop-up shows to sell my goods. Then I discovered the Shipshewana Antique Auction, where I purchased my first designer mid-century lamp and Viking Glass. Now my home is decorated in fine quality art and designer furniture for a fraction of the cost.

I became a regular at the auction, and landed a part-time job with dealer who allowed me to design his display. Through his expertise, I learned about a variety of antiques, art and mid century furniture. He knew I had an eye for design and contracted me to design and hang the art for his gallery in Chicago.
