The thousands of unique items in store are captivating<br />
and thought provoking. Your journey through all the<br />
vintage items ranges from prints, original art, collectibles,<br />
guitars, and so much more. Even having your fortune told by Zoltar! The<br />
historical location used to be a pool hall years ago, and the original neon Billiards<br />
sign is still here. Alex is currently developing an addition to the store to<br />
house more collectibles.<br />
TL - It’s obvious that was the right choice!<br />
How did the road to what Curiosity Inc. is now begin?<br />
I mostly searched and sold higher end items. I would start with one and<br />
then turn it into two. It just took off from there! I would search garage<br />
and estate sales for items. Now, mostly people are reaching out to me.<br />
TL - Your YouTube channel, Curiosity Incorporated has also taken off.<br />
You have over 300k subscribers!<br />
I love to document my adventures and share them with my viewers.<br />
Every day and every video is a new adventure!<br />

TL - I love to watch your videos. You know so much, it blows my mind!<br />
I don’t know about that (laughs) I do make mistakes identifying items, and<br />
I get corrected quickly in the comment sections. I love the community<br />
and the eagerness to share and learn together.<br />
TL - I discovered your channel during the Potter House series.<br />
Can you tell me more about that and who Mary was?<br />
I had the opportunity to purchase Mary Borgstrom’s home, contents<br />
and all. She was a Canadian potter, ceramist, and artist who specialized<br />
in primitive techniques. Her artwork was shown world-wide, and appeared<br />
in numerous collections and exhibitions.<br />
TL - You chose to save the house and restore it.<br />
What an undertaking that was!<br />
It was a long and arduous process. I loved it! We discovered many<br />
unpublished pieces of Mary’s art and were able to preserve so much of<br />
her history and the opportunity to share her life’s story.<br />
TL - Thank you for taking the time to talk today! Can you share a final<br />
thought about how you keep collecting antiques fresh?<br />
It was a pleasure! Thank you too. The key to buying and selling antiques<br />
is to make it fun and grab peoples attention. The store contains everything<br />
to entertain kids and adults. I believe in making vintage items<br />
accessible to everyone, making it fun and not too serious.<br />
