I have been interested in antiques for many years, visiting Antiques Fairs and 'Boot Sales' in the UK.
I've created a personal network
of British Antique Dealers specialising in quality, affordable antiques & collectables.
With an eye for Victoriana, the Antiques
Boutique is a little gem for sourcing those unique items for your home restoration project, your personal collection or for sourcing
a gift for an antique lover!
I have worked for many large institutions in the UK including several large UK
banks, Utility Companies and Britain's biggest Health care Insurer. During my working years I've gained a Higher National diploma
in Business Studies, A Diploma in IT & Computing, an NVQ Level III in Customer Service and best of all - proudly achieved a Certificate
in Ceramic Restoration - & all of these whilst working full time!
I have also written a dark thriller about the mysterious
Victorian sightings of a creature called 'Spring Heeled Jack',
published by Lulu.com & available from Amazon.com
I
am a 'Ricardian' - a member of the Richard III Society, whose mission statement is: 'In the belief that many features of the traditional
accounts of the character and career of Richard III are neither supported by sufficient evidence nor reasonably teneble, the Society
aims to promote in every possible way research into the life & times of Richard III & to secure a reassessment of the material
relating to this period & of the role in English history of this monarch.'
Originally from the Wirral in the UK, I now live
in Nova Scotia
with my husband Ianm a certified Bushcraft Instructor,
2 flat coated retreivers 'Bert' & 'Erik the Viking',
'Hairy Mary' &
10 chickens on 200 acres of beautiful countryside...
