Her international experience includes dealing and importing vintage and antique furniture from France and Italy as well as extensive travel with her husband and pups.

In this episode, Pamela speaks with Abby Bruce about how her mother's hopes that one of her progeny pursue something creative set her on a path that led her to pursue studying the oboe and becoming an opera singer before ultimately transitioning to a career in fashion.
