Style Junkie Antiques A Journey Without An Ending
After a very rewarding career in city government, a latent desire to live the life of an artist full-time is finally a reality. Years ago, I started buying vintage and antique furniture because I have always loved the design quality. Upscale design magazines featured beautiful and expensive products that were unaffordable. I discovered that many of the rooms included antique furniture and accessories. I would seek out some of the designs in local antique shops. Along with furnishing our homes, I began to collect investment antiques as a hobby. I planned to start selling when I retired.
Now retired, I am able to live my dream and give my full attention to providing quality home décor to my customers. I love beautiful furniture, porcelain, silver, and anything related to making a beautiful and comfortable home. During my time collecting, I chose to focus on antique china and tableware, a great area to find choices steeped in fine craftsmanship and unsurpassed quality.
Antique china is often overlooked. Many think of it as grandmother's china with dainty flowers and fussiness, but something other than the kind of tableware to complement today's lifestyles. I want to show my potential customers that this is different. Choosing specific antique china patterns can be just the ticket to express a variety of theme-related occasions for entertaining.
I decided to offer timeless patterns and embrace the use of color with classical styling. My customers like to entertain elegantly on occasion and need unique tableware to complement their homes' sophisticated style. My experience has revealed the value of antique tableware. The craftsmanship, beauty, and quality are unsurpassed compared to more modern-day specimens.
I was given the name "Style Junkie" by one of my antique dealer friends. The name stuck, and we decided it was perfect for my business. I will continue to be drawn to different styles and be open to the needs of my customers. I love being helpful and look forward to this new customer service chapter. I am now ready to meet the challenge of selling to a broader market, and I feel that Etsy is the perfect platform to help me reach my goals
