Q: Why do you think you are so successful on Etsy?
A: First of all, I believe in doing business the old fashioned way. My shop is from Galveston, Texas My customers are important and I give great customer service . (Note: Roland even offers that if you are ever visiting Southeast Texas near Galveston Island he knows where all the gems are--the great little Thrift Shops & Resale Stores are located ... Mom & Pop stores with the unique Texana relics you're looking for, and he will help you find them!)
Q: When did you come to Etsy and why?
A: I opened in 2008 and this stems from collecting antiques, primitives and vintage.

Q: What item will you hate to see go and why?
A: I love the art deco styling on this piece. (Roland is referring to a 1930's bronze metalware piece featuring cranes. It's very well made and normally you see the older 60s and 70s knock offs done in plastic, but he's somehow coveted the real deal circa 1930's.)
