I learned furniture reupholstery from a master who had learned from a master around the time of the second world war, He was an old family friend who knew my grandparents when they all lived in the area of La Puente, Ca. When I moved here young, I told him I would work for him for free if he would teach me. After a week he said I was too good, he had to pay me. Some time after he died one of his sons told me he said I was a natural. I was very pleased to hear that. His son said he said I never seemed to be paying attention when he would show me, but then I would do it just right. I look forward to seeing him in the resurrection. In 1981 I got my first business license, and worked mostly for Interiors by Amanda for many many years. I worked for other decorators too, Amanda and Madi Gates are my favorites. Amanda only just closed her business this April, 2016, at the age of 88. Now I work for friends and repeat customers and raise Cavalier King Charles spaniels to show and improve the breed. I have many happy owners of the nearly perfect ones and many who are going on to show and therapy careers.
