A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

Single mom of 2 grown sons... grandmother to twin boys!!!

So I surround myself with a vintage pink and romantic and feminine world!

Creative self taught decorator, artist, craftswoman working with only vintage...

yes I am a snob when it comes to vintage!

Everything I sell and 95% of what I own is vintage

 (including my car and my 1850's italianate home and my ex husband ;-)

I just recently joined etsy and I love it! I have 2 online etsy stores

SimplyCottageChic

 for vintage and antique decor and painted furniture

 very cottage and shabby chic to paris apartment and hollywood glam...

and another shop  FadedFrocks 

for all my vintage textiles barkcloth and vintage lingerie and clothing circa 1890-1950...which is on vacation until I get more organized 

I was honored to be one of the featured artists /dealers in the book

"Hot Cottage Collectibles (for a vintage style home)" by Dianne Zweig.

I am also in a brick and mortar multi dealer antique shop in Little Falls an upstate New York town...

because a 15 room Italianate Victorian home from the 1850's

is not big enough to hold all my stuff :-(

front of my house... my youngest son and our realtor

if we only knew then what we know now!!!

half of my front porch

side porch

side of house and garage

I have a unique selling experience because everything in my home is for sale ...so I get to redecorate often although I find it harder to decorate my large rooms more so than I have in any other home I have lived in...

Here are some beautiful roads on the way to my house

that my mom fell in love with LOL!
