For a decade my mother owned an antique shop called Finder’s Keepers in Spokane, Washington. Connie loved collecting and finding treasures of all shapes and sizes. She found beauty in forgotten items; elegance in wood and linen; and joy in unusual combinations.

She spent her life rescuing beautiful, strange, and fascinating objects from estate sales, auctions, and forgotten corners of the United States. We spent summers at farm auctions in the mid-west and vacations on hunting trips to the North East. She found her place and her people in the Northwest where she founded Finder's Keepers with a close friend. She passed away in 2023.

Now I'm finding her treasures new homes across the globe.
