The Antiques and Collectibles business has evolved drastically over the past several decades. Charles and I began our quest as we struggled to furnish our old home almost fifty years ago. We didn’t want the manufactured commodity furniture that was available in the large furniture stores like Leavitt’s (remember them?), or Jordan’s.  So we took off to the countryside in search of cool mismatched pieces that created a home.

Every weekend we visited flea markets in Southern New Hampshire, Central Massachusetts, and Southern Maine, in search of just the right piece. We’d know it when we saw it. And it was eerie how we usually gravitated to the same pieces. 

We ended up with time worn pine pieces that you could put your feet upon after a hard days work. Your kids could run toy trucks over them and it simply added to the patina, no worries. Hunting for stuff was fun, When we first began, we copied or at least tried to emulate the design elements we saw in magazines. Eventually, our style evolved into our own. A style that is impossible to pigeonhole.
