Armed with a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri, Betsy set out into the world to one day become the first female editor of Sports Illustrated. Living in St. Louis, however, magazine opportunities were few and far between and the world wide web had not yet become the you-can-work-from-anywhere force it is today. So Betsy embarked on what would become a 25+ years career in marketing/advertising. Today she’s thrilled to marry her first love, writing, with her passion for antiques (first as a buyer, then as a dealer) as she joins the team at A Primitive Place.
Alex is the owner of The Seraph in historic Sturbridge, MA and Ohio. She brings an extensive background in decorating and will debut her decorating column in our summer 2013 issue.
