She started her career at Fredlock’s Pharmacy, became a master seamstress and started as an entrepreneur and mastered wallpapering, doing 100s of satisfied commercial and residential jobs and always had a legal pad with pages of people “wait listed” for her services.
She took a love of auctions and antiquing as a hobby to then taking over The Antiques Walk for many years and then started doing Tag Sales to provide a valued service for estates and people moving or downsizing their homes.
