RANI COLLECTS

When I was little, my mom called me a pack-rat. As an adult, my husband calls me a hoarder (not a real one, don't worry). I call myself a collector! I've always enjoyed collecting things (coins, stamps, rocks) and now that I'm an adult, its fun to have a house to display them in! I grew up spending my summers on the hunt at garage sales with my Grandma, so I know how to spot a bargin. Every Wednesday, we go to garage sales, thrift stores, salvation army, antique shops, and search for treasures. Its fun when you have a collection that you want to build - my main collections are:

- Pink Depression Glass
- Milk Glass Vases
- Inexpensive Gold Frames
- Vintage Fabric (for Rani Creates)

Do you have a collection that you would like me to be on the lookout for something? Or are you having an event - say a wedding, and you need 30 milk glass vases but don't want to spend the time looking around for them... let me do the hunting for you! Tell me:

1. what you are looking for
2. specifics - how many you need, dimensions, etc.
3. what the maximum you want to spend (on each one or total) - if you are not sure, I will research average prices to give you an idea of what to expect
4. when you need them by
5. any picture examples of what you are looking for
6. any exceptions (ie/ small chips OK, different shades of one color OK, etc.)

I will do the collecting! I will purchase the items for you, and once I have your full order collected, will deliver them to you (Ann Arbor area + 30 mile radius only). Delivery charge is $10, deposit and signed agreement required. Depending on what you need - one item or a collection of things, I will either charge commission or a flat fee. It really depends on what you are looking for and how long it will take me to find the pieces.

The items I most enjoy hunting for are:

- Depression Glass: Pink, Yellow, Green
- Milk Glass Vases and footed candy dishes: white
- McCoy pottery: planters and vases
- Antique Brooches
- Vintage Books that are fabric bound (look great on your fireplace mantle!)
- turqoise ball jars

I am not a antique dealer or expert on any of these items. I just enjoy shopping, especially for other people. I have a good eye and the time on my hands.

All items will be cleaned, packaged and delivered with itemized receipt.
