Favorite item in your shop?
This antique floral beaded drawstring purse, a reticule, has a unique diagonal design (both sides) made of tiny glass beads, all hand-crafted more than a century ago. Its pristine condition speaks to the fact that its previous owner(s) thought highly enough of it to properly store and preserve its beauty.

What got you started selling online?I first started selling online in May, 2010, for a several reasons: to explore and take advantage of the marketing opportunities that Ruby Lane was offering in its new web-based Plaza; to complement my bricks and mortar (antique booth space) venue of selling; to target a broader customer base for some of my more specialized collections.
