Vivian Collins

Vivian has been into antiquing for close to 10 years and not only has she sold antiques at numerous venues like Lakewood, Scotts, Burlington, Atlantis, she has also traveled to Europe to participate in antiquing tours in England, Italy and France.  She has fond memories of her mom dragging her to antique shows as far back as she can remember and somewhere along the way, she began to really enjoy it.  She has lived in Lexington for 30 years and is very excited about the prospect of building a fantastic antique show in this great city.

Vivian has an easy smile and warm loving nature so characteristic of Southern Belles.  She has a degree in registered health information and served in the military from 1984 - 1992.  She has three sons. 

Viv and Bobi met when they were both operating cleaning businesses in Las Vegas.  Both of them had purchased 'exclusive' ads in an advertising circular only to find out that both their 'exclusive' ads were placed right next to one another in that publication.  Vivian called Bobi to laugh about the mess made out of their ads.  They went to lunch together soon after that and became good friends.  Bobi eventually purchased Vivian's Las Vegas cleaning business and the two have been friends ever since.

Bobi Gonzales

Born just outside the city of Chicago, Bobi moved to Las Vegas with her mother at age 11 and has lived there for the last 35 years.  Bobi has been a business owner all her life, never having worked as an employee for anyone. She built her Las Vegas cleaning business, Bobi's Helping Hands, from scratch starting with just herself and knowledge she gleaned from books on cleaning houses. When money was tight, as it often was, she fondly remembers riding her bicycle to do house cleanings all by herself. Over the years, through her leadership, her business improved and now she has six teams of employees who clean the houses while she and her sister manage that day to day business affairs.

Bobi is also fond of artwork with many replicas of Van Gogh masterpieces decorating her home. She has one daughter, Adrianna, who is the love of her life and lives in Seattle. Her constant companion is Thor, a golden haired pooch with big brown eyes who jealously defends the security of her home.

Bobi and Vivian are two honest, hard working women who love the great city of Lexington and are thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in the antiquing tradeshows there. They would love to meet you and shake your hand sometime and learn about your antiquing journeys, so be sure to stop by say, 'Howdy'. See you soon!
