I worked full-time for 35 years as a marketing & communications specialist in the world of public libraries. At the same time I owned an equine photography business. As an accredited member of the press, I covered top level horse shows (specializing in the sport of show jumping) across Canada as well as in England and Northern Ireland. I retired from equine photo-journalism about 10 years ago and from my library career more recently. In 2019, I decided to embrace my love of British vintage and share it (and my treasures) with others by opening Peony Cottage Boutique on Etsy.
