My favourite finds are often antique pieces with a history.

My father loved antique shops and shows, and quite a bit of my childhood involved outings to dim, dusty places packed with cast-off treasures.

I have no particular interest in antiquities or antiques, but I like things to meet a certain aesthetic.

I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.

Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.

My mom passed on her obsession of all things antique or vintage. I love to go thrift store shopping or explore any sort of garage sale. Treasure hunting is a family passion.

I search for items that have history, like vintage finds - I love fur kitten-heel house slippers from the 1950s - and pieces from fashion houses that have been around for a long time, like Chanel and Dior.

I shop a lot more for furniture than I do for clothes. I much prefer going to an antique shop full of obscurities.

I love vintage shopping in flea markets, vintage stores and even Ebay.

I like finding things in locations where I've worked and things from down South and things from flea markets or even the sidewalks.
