| My Story |
As a child I loved to decorate with my homemade decorations. I made
everything from gifts for my family and friends to a full size paper fireplace
for Santa. Give me paper, scissors, paste, and crayons and I would be
busy for hours. As I grew older I learned to do all types of crafts.
As a teenager I learned that I preferred quality to quantiity. I worked
many jobs including , waitress, cleaning, babysitting, vegetable inspector,
camp counselor, on my grandparents farm, and others.
While attending Kutztown University I took a job in a concession stand at
Renninger's Antiques & Farmers in Kutztown. My employer seeing some
of my work encouraged me to display and sell it at the stand. Well I did
pretty well selling my crafts.
Graduating from Kutztown University I began teaching special education
in a local school district. I persued my craft making also and my former
employer encouraged me to open a small shop at the Renninger's Farmers
Market. Not able to keep up with the demand with stocking the store I
decided I would sell items made by other craftsmen. Eventually I got
married, had a son and stopped teaching. I choose only what I love and
would use in my own home. ( Quality not quantity) Along with the antiques
I love to buy and the wonderful craftmen I have met though the years I
have built a successful business.
I invite you to visit the shop sometime in Kutztown. 2008 is my 25th, yes
25th year.
Oh by the way ...the employer and former employer that encouraged me...
I married him.
