What a difference a year makes…

January 2023 -
My First IG post showcasing my personal collection of textiles from 20+ years as a Vintage and Antique World Textile Dealer

March 2023 -
Announced to the world that I was fazing out of the Textile World and changing my path completely 🤣

March 2024 -
Was amazed by my Instagram sales and the community of followers and the support I received selling online

April 2024 -
Visited my previous home Istanbul to find that I still had a huge passion for textiles

June 2024 -
Returned to Canada with a new seed planted that maybe I wasn’t done with textiles after all…

September 2024 -
Spent the next 2 months custom shopping in Istanbul sourcing for Instagram clients while also showcasing some Istanbul textile dealers inventory.
Meanwhile loving every minute of it

Today -
Resetting my intentions and continuing to follow my passion for vintage and antique world textiles.

What will that look like?

To be honest at this stage the path ahead is wide open

What I do know is:

A) I love the Hunt
B) I have a great Eye
C) I have a wide range of Sources
D) I love what I do
E) I have the trust and support of so many of you

Thank you to everyone that continues to like, comment and purchase. Let’s see what this upcoming year will bring!
