\u00a0I\u2019m on mission to make antiques modern, sexy, profitable and fun!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u00b4m Toma. I am the founder and CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co. I am a creative who has learned through trial and error how to get s#t done. I am an entrepreneur, a writer, a speaker, a jewelry and furniture designer as well as the host of the reality TV show Republic of Toma. Most of all, I am a dreamer and I\u2019ve learned how to make dreams a reality. Let me tell you how we can help you.<\/p>\n

Antiques were my hobby. I turned my passion into profits <\/strong>when I built a career in in my suitcase so I could travel the world doing what I love (and help others do the same).\u00a0 \u00a0 I started AD&Co in 2008.\u00a0 It all began with a tongue in cheek joke. I didn\u2019t know then that this joke was going to change my life. (And yours).<\/p>\n

One day I was at the Paris Flea Market with a friend. I had moved to Paris in 2000 with my ex husband (more on THAT later). My friends always asked me to help them buy antiques because I knew all the vendors and I was good at negotiating. One day at the exact moment my friend said \u201cI\u2019ll take it\u201d I quipped,\u201cThat\u2019s why they call me The Antiques Diva.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

That joke became a blog.<\/strong>
The blog became a business.\u00a0<\/strong>
And that business became a leader in the antiques industry.\u00a0<\/strong>
<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At vero eos et accusam<\/h5>\n

With a laptop, my mobile phone and the help of friends I am proud to have created an empire that operates in 16 countries and has changed thousands and thousands of peoples lives. We are now the World\u2019s Largest Antiques Touring company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cChanged peoples lives??\u201d Quelle Drama! This is the Business of Antiques \u2013 It\u2019s not Brain Surgery.\u201d I may not be solving world hunger but I am helping people just like you pursue their passion, find their most authentic self and find fulfillment in their day to day lives by getting paid to do what they love.<\/p>\n

Most of my clients are on their Second Act. They\u2019ve already had a career doing something they were \u00a8supposed\u00a8 to do. Like be a lawyer, a teacher or an accountant. Or maybe they got married, had kids and when the kid\u2019s graduated from high school they realized it was their time to pursue their passions.<\/p>\n

I help entrepreneurs source antiques overseas and start their antiques business. Through our antique buying tours, our 1 on 1 business coaching for antique dealers, our online Antique Dealer Training Program and our in person Antiques Dealer Educational Retreats \u2013 not to mention my top ranked podcast the Business of Antiques \u2013 I help people like you make their dreams a reality.<\/p>\n
