10 years ago I started buying and reselling antiques, collectibles, and home furnishings. At first I sold mainly at auctions, flea markets and a few craft shows whenever I could afford them.

I would buy the worst of the worst, Items that no one wanted, broken rocking chairs, chest of drawers, that were missing one drawer, A table and chair set with a broken leg and missing one chair.

I would take them home, fix and polish them up, and sell them again, I love it.    and that's my motivation,  To take the thing that no one wants, clean it up and present it to the world again.

I was always amazed when people would buy things from me, that they previously owned, They would say things like ' Oh my God, that's so lovely, I use to own one just like that, but mine was so beat up,' I could almost hear the furniture saying" please please don't let them take me again.

I think of myself as a contributor to this world, my job is to make sure that all the things that cross my path get their just Due, in other words, if it aint dead don't kill it. if its near dead, try and save it, if it makes it through and lives, let it do its job, and it's job is to make someone else's life a little brighter.

I believe I was made in GODS own image, and God created the world in seven days, Surely, in my life, I can create something out of what he made for us, that would be of use to mankind, A chair for you to take a rest, a shelf to put your knick-knacks on, a box to store you goodies in, or a coat rack to hang your coats on.

No matter what I might create, I thank GOD for being able to see the beauty in all things, my greatest desire is, that mankind would see the beauty in all things too.. especially the things that no one wants.
