Far too many to list...sorry! I am a bookworm! #1 is the Word of the Lord, The Holy Bible!

Christian music! I also LOVE classical music, and especially love Celtic harp music.

Mysteries when I can...no time to watch much TV! I do like the History Channel and of course, Antiques Roadshow!

I officially began my business, The Vintage Inn, in 2002, and my love for antiques was the inspiration to buy and sell what I loved and knew about! My grandmother, Bertha Ackermann Foster, who was a porcelain artist in the early 1900's, inspired me to LOVE the artistry I saw on her many wares. Her home was a virtual Haven of Beautiful Things...and I grew to love many of the same things she loved! I never grow weary of Treasure Hunting and my darling husband is my assistant searcher!
