About Me

At nineteen I had the dream of traveling around the world, seeing exotic places, and meeting people who were different than me, but didn't have the means to fullfill that dream at that time. But I never lost sight of that dream. Then in 1984 I found the opportunity to open a store, which I called Horsefeathers. At first it was a junk store, selling things I found on the street. Then I slowly moved into selling antiques, then I found the world of vintage clothing. We sold clothes to Columbia Pictures for the movie 'A League of Their Own'and to theater groups around Illinois.One day a friend of mine invited me to a Dead concert. It was their last one at Alpine Valley, and I was blown away by what I saw! All these young people with the most BEAUTIFUL colors and clothes! That concert changed my life and the direction of my store.I started selling imported clothing, and jewelry, and anything else I could find! And that led me back to my original dream of traveling the world. So that is what I do now. I bring the very best I can find on my adventures back to my store for my customers to enjoy.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are looking for a shopping experience! Horsefeathers is NOT a cookiecutter store. I enjoy people from all walks of life, and who have all types of interests
