So I love Victorian items. Anything 1800s, up to 1930s are my favorite eras. I do love any vintage of course but I love the old stuff. I can’t get over the craftsmanship, creativity and quality! Is it hard to let go of some finds? You must keep some for yourself, no?
with the phone on video chat. She was extremely active for about 3 weeks. She has calmed down BUT she comes about once a week or so and each time it’s more and more intense! I am not scared, she is a happy playful childlike spirit that has come to stay with me. And I am ok with it. You can keep up with Clowny on Instagram, follow the hashtag #adventureswithclowny
So my house is not that big and that’s a good thing!! I like to keep cool clown stuff, Bakelite anything, Victorian EAPG, Lacy Glass and Victorian Transferware. I have a huge collection of dolls!!

she could make some appearances at the Paranormal conventions!!!! What has been your favorite part of buying and selling vintage items? I love learning about history and daily life, and some people go to school and read history books, and then there’s people like me who actually hunt each item down, research it and learn from touching the item and asking people about it, and looking at how it was made or why was it made, it’s fascinating!!
Do you feel like a new door has opened for you since Clowny came into your life? Maybe you’ll end up on a TV show with her? Would you ever sell her? Well I am actually surprised that she doesn’t get as much attention as I thought she would. I have good documentation too. I would NEVER sell Clowny!! If anything I would like a medium to come and visit her, and I will repair her and
