Hello from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

This is the place I've called home for more than 20 years. Originally from Idaho Falls, Idaho I moved to Seattle to do my B.A. in Russian studies, finished my last term of unniversity at the London School of Economics and basically never went home.

Shortly thereafter I was offered a job in Amsterdam and the rest is history. I couldn't help but fall in love with Europe with it's deep history, variety of culture and above all a fantastic variety in antique textiles and trims.

Don't get me wrong! I love and miss the States as well but for the time being I'm here to stay. After I'm finished stomping around the Dutch, Belgium and French markets and I'm ready to retire you will probably find me in a small log cabin on a lake in Idaho out walking my two beagles. Now that wouldn't be a bad life!
