It’s a charming tale of her early introduction to the collecting habit when, as a child, she would help her mother and father search flea markets and antique stores for Royal Doulton Flambé and Nippon porcelain. And how she’s grown into a passionate collector, and has passed the collecting tradition on to her children.
