I 'inherited' the love for vintage and unique items from my birth mother. When I met her i person in was in my early 20's and she was selling vintage and antique items at various towns and cities in the mid-west. Although I didn't grow up in her house, I knew I loved old things and wanted to know more about them She taught me so much and we lost her way too soon. I feel her by my side on a daily basis, guiding me to treasures I know she would have loved to share with others as I am doing here. The 'AZ Catz' comes from 2 other loves in my life, My love of Arizona and my love of cats. I do work at the oldest and largest animal shelter in AZ and I help cats/dogs find their forever homes like the treasures I bring here.
