I’m a history teacher by day and a treasure hunter by heart. When I’m not helping students uncover the truths that shape our world, you’ll find me elbow-deep in thrift store racks, digging through estate sales, or hauling my latest finds to my booth at a local shop where I flip forgotten treasures into someone else’s joy. I’m a wife, stepmom, Mimi, daughter, sister, and aunt who believes the best stories aren’t just in textbooks—they’re hiding in forgotten attics, dusty shops, and the roads less traveled. My loves? Jesus, a good slice of pizza, dog-eared books, and anything with a past worth preserving. This blog is where I share the trials that test me, the travels that transform me, and the treasures I find along the way—both the kind you can sell and the kind that are priceless.
