Biography/Collector Statement
Quickly NY woman now a West Coast transplant. I love to preach the gospel of kaleidoscope to whomever will listen. Am I allowed to say that I’d love to find a single kaleidoscope collector?? Ha. But seriously, I enjoy beautiful items and most of all my poodle who at times wears all the colors of the rainbow.
Why I Collect
I’ve been attracted to stained glass and when I first saw a kaleidoscope in the 1980s, I was hooked. Kaleidoscopes have a healing effect and they’re just really cool.
