Hooked on HADA

HADA’s spectacular antiques shows played a major role in my ongoing love for antiques.  Soon after becoming Houston Chronicle Home Design Editor in early 1970, I wrote my first HADA show article and bought my first piece of Imari. I was hooked.

From that first show until the most recent in fall ’09, HADA has educated, enticed and inspired me with great objects and terrific dealers. You can learn so much from the dealers if you just ask.

Upon retirement from the Chronicle, I plunged into the antiques business myself. I’m still hooked and eager for the next HADA show.
