Read an Excerpt

I grew up in a house full of memories, and until I was ten or so, I thought that antiques were things that one simply had. I had no idea that you could buy them somewhere. Though my childhood living room was quite full of objects-Japanese lacquer tables, baubles, curios, a grand piano and treasures from any number of exotic trips that family members had taken-it still felt very personal.
