My first adventure in selling was Barbie cloths in the early 60's. Then clothing for others.
1995 I started Fiddlesticks Florals. with a few items, and mailing list of 35, (friends) had a large inventory (from gift shows ) for my showroom which was my home. I would set up 4 times a year for 3 day events.
Since our recent move back to Chicago (from Richmond VA) I no longer go to the big gift markets, but find items to fill classy10, as I incorporate vintage items that I search out at resale shops, flea markets, Iowa farms, and antique stores.
We lived many places as my husband was in the Navy 8 years. We have also done a number of mission trips to Ukraine to work with orphans. Each time we went to Ukraine we would visit another country for a few days, so we have done a lot of traveling.
Most of our 7 children, and grandchildren are in the general area. One daughter lives in Bend OR, with her husband and 4 children.
Very involved with our church, Wheaton Bible, and it's outreach to communities here and abroad.

Some would say we are old! but that would only be in numbers.
It doesn't matter how old you are, you still have dreams and ideas to share, there is always a hurting heart you can help.
Family nickname is Noni, like 'no knee'. One way to shorten Naomi :)
