Introduction	I am originally from Buffalo, NY and like many others, have been transplanted here in the South. I have a wonderful Husband (we married in 2003), a very gifted and talented son, Nick (check him out at www.nickmason.org) and two terrific step-sons, Matt and Cody. I have been a Hairdresser for 29 years. A little burned out, I decided to try my hand at something new. I combined my love of shopping and everything vintage and started an antiques business. I now specialize in all things "Retro", that is anything kitschy, cool and funky from the 1950's, 60's and 70's. I have a fabulous store inside the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte, NC and a fun web site. Visit www.retrojunque.com for more info.
