Piper
Favorite Word: Synergy

Collects: Star Trek Collectibles (Original Series)

Favorite spot in the mall: Because I grew up in the mall, my favorite spot would have to be the "secret passage way" in section one.  When I was a little kid I thought it was awesome that I could cut through the middle of the section!

Years at Southport Antique Mall:  19 years.  The first seven I spent pestering the staff, the next seven I worked in the mall, and the last five I have been running the marketing.

Best antiquing tip: Turn things over.  Always look at the bottom of things because people often forget to look for cracks there.

Favorite things about working at SAM: They are my family.  Going there is like going home.

Jessica
Favorite Word: Epic.  

Collects:  I don't really have an antique collection yet, but I do have an obsession with the color magenta to the point where it could be considered a collection.  

Favorite spot in the mall:  I have two.  My first is section three.  When you are working, you get to see a lot of the people roaming around.  My second favorite is the back room because it's comfy.

Years at Southport Antique Mall: Well, Piper has been dragging me along since college, but technically about three years.  
Best antiquing tip:  You don't have to take antiques as they are.  You can put a fresh coat of paint on something and transform it!

Favorite things about working at SAM:  It's been said before, but it is definitely the people.  They are fun and whacky and really kind hearted.  Also, the opportunity to be a co-marketing director has been an invaluable experience.
