April L. Dowd, the founding editor of Curiosity Shops, will introduce you to both established and new shops in New York and New England that carry a wide array of items. Occasionally, she’ll also offer bonus items about out-of-the-area finds.
April, who lives in Troy, NY, puts her varied background to use in seeking out and personally visiting these shops.
Her eye for the unusual, the unique and the affordable has been developed during years in the retail sales field as fashion coordinator, bridal consultant and sales specialist in jewelry and clothing. In addition, her experience as a collector of Limoges china and as a free-lance writer and photographer for media and historical groups have added depth to her store of knowledge.
