Glitters & Gizmos

I was raised by parents who believed in the power of history. They taught me that every story—whether joyful or painful—has value, and that by remembering, we grow. Years ago, I started restoring old furniture. There’s a kind of magic in it—watching the wood grain come alive beneath my hands, as if the piece is breathing again. Some I’ve sold, others I’ve given away, but many have stayed with me. Some things are just too full of soul to let go.

Over time, my love for the past has only deepened. From precious and semi-precious jewelry to vintage clothing, from well-worn furniture to forgotten architecture, I’ve explored it all. Old houses, creaking floorboards, and timeworn trim—they all speak. This work has never felt like labor. It’s always been love.
