About Me
- Donatella
- Hi my name is Donatella, but my friends just call me Donna. I was born in Naples, Italy. My mom brought me here at the age of four, and I have lived in Southern California ever since. I met and married the perfect man. Married 15 years with one daughter, Jessie-lou. We love God, our country, life together and our home. A one time hair-dresser, and former business owner turned antique & vintage buyer/ seller; hard-work is in the blood! There's something special about the beauty of natural, simple living that's heartwarming and conmforting, and is often missed in our busy, modern lives. Old-fashioned style and country flair remind me of times that are peacful and easy; genuine. There's something so wonderful- about things that have generations of unique history.
