THIS WEEK'S EMAIL
That Philly accent, you’ve heard it for sure. It stays with you wherever you go. I should know. And there are certain words and phrases that stay with you as well. Just ask my daughters and they’ll tell you all of them. They’re all part of the vocabulary and grammar of the City of Brotherly Love. You may also know Philly as quite the tough place as well. Home to famous boxers (real and in movies), actors (some of whom have perfected their open hand strikes), comedians, athletes, personalities of all sorts. Let me say that there’s truly something in the wudder (Philly accent for ya) that makes us different. A little rougher around the edges, a little more bite to our sarcasm and a little more generous with our use of sentence enhancers. And so, four letter words are not foreign to me. And while you may be thinking of the obvious ones, I’ll share with you my favorite. LOVE…
There were also lots of fresh finds this week. Click the collage pic above to see the list of past emails (including this week's).

THE GOOD SIDE
Let’s jump right in to the introduction. For those of you new to this crazy world of HKFA, I’m a 52 year old single mom to two fantastic teenage girls who are both dedicated scholars and competitive martial artists. You could say that I’m a fan of my daughters. I’m also an entrepreneur in the art and antique world with a Peter Pan / I Can Do It attitude. Never quite wanting to grow up, but enjoying every moment as I do. I’m a native Philly girl with the accent to match, but my heart will always be in New York City. This is the place where I first figured out that I wanted to be a dealer in art and antiques. It was also the place where I learned the business. Trial by fire sort of thing. Also, trial by hunger, trial by subway and trial by cockiness. Each of those with their own story that I’ll share in the coming weeks, months and years. So I hope you’ll stick around, subscribe and enjoy these moments with me. Now, let me show you my Good Side.
At least that’s what I planned to do. To make sure that I was hitting all those angles just right. Cheekbones and smile sort of thing. Devoted, yet tough mom vibes. Independent spirit grounded in practicality. That’s more than one side for sure. But those really are some of the things I hope you’ll see in me. As you’ll grow to learn, I’m all about over sharing. The failures, missteps and mistakes are my specialty. And they’re also why I keep going. Because I want to be many sided… click this link to read and subscribe
