Collector’s Weekly just posted an Interview with the UK’s fabulous Judith Miller, who they have deemed the Martha Stewart of Costume Jewelry and Antiques.

In the interview Judith shared interesting anecdotes and advice along with her unique perspective on collecting.

My two big takeaways:

First, her tip that if you are going to wear a heavy pin, like those made by Stanley Hagler, you should pin them through your bra.

And second, her reminder that since most people want to buy vintage chairs in sets, you can snag great individual chairs quite inexpensively from antique dealers and auction houses because they simply don’t know what to do with them.

Plus I loved her observations on current and future trends, what young people are buying today, why Texans don’t want costume jewelry and her thoughts on reality shows.
