Time for a little more about us... or one of us

Sonya joined us in August 2008 so her 6 year anniversary is coming up.  Everyone knows Sonya as she has been collecting for many years and you see her flying through sales on the weekends.   Sonya has a flare for display, design and color.  Our members look to her for help with reviving furniture and when they struggle with display in their booth.  It is like she goes in and waves her arms and voilà! ... it looks amazing. 

Recently we surveyed the members to see what they liked to collect and after a little thought Sonya explains that her collection isn't much about collecting a particular item but rather collecting items with something in common.  “I guess what I collect is rust--lots of it”. She grew up on a farm in Montana. She says she likes to find very “cheap” rusty, crusty, chippy, peeley painted stuff and clean it, work it, and sometimes repurpose it. Her favorite style is the French Nordic country--lots of white with soft colors, inexpensive, and beautiful in its simplicity.

And here are some of the great things you will find in her space at Wade Creek House.

 

Collecting things you love, that are authentic to you, and your house becomes your story.  E. Flett
