I spent my entire childhood at boot sales, flea markets and auctions. Always searching for 'that special something'. My mum, supported by my dad, had traded in antiques since I can remember. She had that amazing gift of knowing when something was really special.
My love of antiques and the thrill of chancing on something mind blowing has never left me and as I've matured, so have my collections.
I'm more than slightly obsessed with 1960's Big Eye Art and my collection is almost exceeding my wall space and my twenty six year love of Clarice Cliff and Charles Rennie Mackintosh continue to grow.
In November 2013 at Kibworth Antiques Centre, Leicestershire, I opened the little store that I'd thought about for so many years. My daughter Biba has become the student and I've assumed my mums role as we begin a second generation of hunting for awesome.
