I was fortunate enough to spent some fantastic years living in New York City.
In that time I was struck by just how many people would ask me if they could buy the objects, furniture, trinkets, artwork or general curiosities in my home.
Nearly all of these items came from my visits to UK charity shops, markets or boot sales.
When I finally moved back to the UK, I decided to set up a web shop, www.uk-to-usa.com, to connect the oddities of the UK to the passion of the market in the USA.
Shoppers can only buy in dollars, making the shop a unique connection between my present day in the UK and my past in the USA.
