The thousands of unique items in store are captivating
and thought provoking. Your journey through all the
vintage items ranges from prints, original art, collect-
ibles, guitars, and so much more. Even having your fortune told by Zoltar! The
historical location used to be a pool hall years ago, and the original neon Bil-
liards sign is still here. Alex is currently developing an addition to the store to
house more collectibles.

TL - It’s obvious that was the right choice!
How did the road to what Curiosity Inc. is now begin?

I love to document my adventures and share them with my viewers.
Every day and every video is a new adventure! www.curiosityedmonton.ca/

TL - I love to watch your videos. You know so much, it blows my mind!
I don’t know about that (laughs) I do make mistakes identifying items, and
I get corrected quickly in the comment sections. I love the community
and the eagerness to share and learn together.

TL - I discovered your channel during the Potter House series.
Can you tell me more about that and who Mary was?

I had the opportunity to purchase Mary Borgstrom’s home, contents
and all. She was a Canadian potter, ceramist, and artist who specialized
in primitive techniques. Her artwork was shown world-wide, and ap-
peared in numerous collections and exhibitions.

TL - You chose to save the house and restore it.
What an undertaking that was!
It was a long and arduous process. I loved it! We discovered many
unpublished pieces of Mary’s art and were able to preserve so much of
her history and the opportunity to share her life’s story.
TL - Thank you for taking the time to talk today! Can you share a final
thought about how you keep collecting antiques fresh?
It was a pleasure! Thank you too. The key to buying and selling antiques
is to make it fun and grab peoples attention. The store contains ev-
erything to entertain kids and adults. I believe in making vintage items
accessible to everyone, making it fun and not too serious. TLM
