Editor:

I am an Inner Richmond resident and I just opened a new antiques shop called Refind Home at 2500 Clement St. at 26th Avenue.

I got my start in the antiques business back in 1979 as a tour guide at the Paris Flea market. I would take American antiques dealers around, negotiate their deals and coordinate the shipping of their items back to the U.S. Ten years later, I started my own antiques business in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The shop features a dizzying array of antiques, art, furnishings, objects and textiles from the four corners of the globe. I emphasizes that ALL are welcome to visit, whether they are buyers or not. I hopes to inspire people with my imaginative and unexpected displays.

Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday 1-5 p.m., Monday Closed (or by appointment)
