My Art Collectibles

Starting a fine art, collectibles and gifts website was a major milestone for this ex-corporate warrior. Cherish Collectibles features fine art by award-winning American artist Edna Hibel, as well as fine art collectables like collector plates and dolls. It's been both fun and frustrating, growing a business while battling Goliaths. Jesus is with me, and He will not let me fall.

Art & Art Collectibles for Real People

Art & Art Collectibles For Real People


In the last couple of months, I've been dealing with a customer who wants to decorate her home with art and art collectibles with a strong family theme. As this lady and her husband have a young son and daughter, she wants a family portrait featuring a father, mother, boy and girl, and two smaller pictures showing a boy and a girl.

Not only do the pictures have to be of a certain theme, but they also need to fit her color scheme and specific wall spaces in her home. Hence, the pictures also have to be of certain dimensions. This couple also have to work within a budget. They are fans of Hibel art and art collectibles, and they've already purchased a large giclee.

Helping my customers find what they want is often a challenge but, at the same time, always a pleasure. It's really satisfying when my customers are happy with the service at Cherish Collectibles. They're always amazed at the range of Edna Hibel art, collectibles and gifts I can offer them. I've even had enquiries about the value of an artwork or collectible piece, and also what to do with a collection that has been inherited. Whatever the query, I try to help.

To be in the service industry, you must be patient and be prepared to serve. Of course, it helps if you're dealing with beautiful things like Hibel art, collectibles and gifts. The main problem is resisting the temptation to acquire more for yourself!
