Pamela combs the most-renowned markets in the country, including Ohio’s Springfield Antique Show & Flea Market and the Burlington Antique Show in Kentucky. A Boston native, she also has many fond memories of shopping both the spring and summer shows at Brimfield, Massachusetts, with her mother. “The bonding we did all those years really gave me a deep appreciation for heirloom-quality handmade whites—sturdy cotton hand-embroidered trims, damasks, laces, wedding gowns, and monogrammed napkins,” she recalls. “I always joke that I’ve let go of several relationships in my life, but I can’t let go of a tea towel!”
