I have been collecting antiques and collectibles since I was 13 years old, starting with old bottles. This was all started by the inspiration of my wonderful Aunt Jean who started the same way with old bottles and moving forward to buying, selling and collecting all types of collectibles and antiques. My mother, Eleanor (the namesake of my shop) was my greatest inspiration and encourager. Always standing behind me in my collecting endeavours no matter what they may have been. The two inspirations are pictured in my shop icon.
