What idiot goes into a line of work where the potential for allergies is the highest? That would be me lol! I have a really bad allergy to dust amongst other things and obviously dealing in old, antique and vintage items, means generally they come to me fully coated in layers of the stuff. So why I hear you say, would choose such a path? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quite honestly, it found me and once you get the bug, it\u2019s there for life! I enjoy searching out beautiful stuff and giving it a little nudge back to its former glory with a good clean (repairs aren\u2019t my forte I will add 😀) but I\u2019ll put up with the dust and grime any time, to handle these lovely lost items of the past. Ready to pass on to a new owner to love, cherish – and dust, themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So attishoo it is on a daily basis now as I prepare for my exciting future venturing further into the world of dealing. This photo today for instance, is of a set of French Empire Bulb Baskets .. last year I\u2019d never have known what that was but look at me now! I\u2019m learning all the time and loving it! I\u2019ll go and arm myself with a supply of tissues for todays antics again now, I\u2019m easy to spot, the one with the red hair, red eyes and runny nose \u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
