Welcome to the Keeping Room. I live in Upstate New York and enjoy hunting for early treasures throughout the Northeast.
I have been an antique dealer and avid collector for several decades. I specialize in Early American Country/Primitive items. I currently maintain a booth at Dater House & Friends Antiques in West Sand Lake, New York and regularly participate in many shows, in various states, throughout the year.
Most of my vacations are centered around historic tourism and shopping for antiques. I so appreciate the history associated with each treasure I find. My husband, Mark, shares my passion for antiques, providing invaluable support.
Payment can be made using PayPal, Venmo or personal check. Thank you for stopping by.
