When I was a young child, about eight years old, I wanted a bedside table. Being one of five children with just my dad working, I knew my parents couldn’t afford one. Determined to have a night table, I made one out of a cardboard box covered with leftover wallpaper. My mother was very impressed with my effort continuously encouraged me to re-purpose everything and anything.
When I grew up, my mother and I shared a passion for finding antique and vintage items that could be re-purposed. We spent weekends scouring through various shops and I started to collect and refinished old furniture. My mother started to talk about my dream of opening up an antique shop in the barn on our century farmhouse property.
Sadly, my mother became ill and was passing. Her friends and children took turns reading to her from a mystery book called, A Crewel World by Gennifer Albin. The characters in the book go to a vintage shop in Minnesota called Antiquity Rose. When I read that passage to my mother, we looked at each other and said together, “What a great name for an antique shop!”
One year after my mother passed in 2009, I registered my new business, Antiquity Rose Canada, on April 1, her birthday. I opened my shop focusing on affordable prices, ideas for using and refinishing re-purposed items, presenting the work of local artists and craftspeople, and I even offer select new treasures that fit my shop vision.
