"Mom should have been an interior designer. She loved to paint and wallpaper all of our homes. I was her helper. I'm very good at trim. She'd do the walls and I always ended up doing the trim. Even to this day I'm the trimmer. My husband does the walls, and I do the trim." Tammy Fuller

Patricia so enjoyed second hand shopping that she eventually went into the second hand business with her high school friend Janet Lehman. They started in a small shop in Orchards and eventually moved the business to Vancouver. The two friends enjoyed every minute of it.
