The Jersey Shore

About Me:

I cook, quilt, sew, travel, antique, collect … my two daughters are my heart ~ they now are grown but we continue to craft, to antique and to collect together.

I am the only daughter of an only daughter of an only daughter ~ going back 7 generations. Every one of them, a craftswoman; every one, a collector. I grew up in my father's two general stores and I, in my turn, owned and ran a 120+year old general store/antique shop/cafe for a dozen years ~ tag sales and antiquing are a way of life.

I *adore* a good treasure hunt. There is nothing more satisfying than finding that which was lost ~ and, even better, making a match between treasures found and my customers and friends.
