Owner/Designer Van Linsey Golf & Resort Apparel for Women & Children, Winchester

My family:  kicks ass.

My favorite possession: is an 18th century China wooden Buddah named Quan Yin that my husband and I found on our honeymoon in Australia. She's very peaceful.

I’m thinking about: my ticking clock. Wishing life had a pause button.

I am most proud of: having natural childbirths with my amazing daughters. Wish more women would try it.

One thing I never want to do again: Drive to Florida and back with a 3-year old and a UHaul trailer.

If I could be totally wild, I would:  Been there.  No regrets.

Favorite web site:  vanlinsey.com, of course!

Last major purchase:  an old stone barn near Lake Sunapee, NH.

If I had a vanity plate on my car, it would say:  LUV MY MINIVAN   (Gasp!)

If I could do it all over again:  I would be an OBGYN.

My favorite body part:  My boobs, but only when I'm pregnant.

The most important thing I ever lost:  My great-grandfather was an Inventor and craftsman and he made me and my sisters each a necklace with a tiger's eye stone that he had worked into a beautiful gold setting.  I lost it at the bus stop in 1983… corner of Cross and Forest if anyone found It.  :-)  

I wish I’d known: that stirrup pants were really weird looking and did nothing for my bum.  

Something most people don’t know about me:  My family is descended from French royalty.

My mother always said:  I would have been a great television news reporter.

The worst idea I’ve ever had:  Sun-tanning at noon in the Panama Canal sans sunscreen.  

What are you most vain about?  In my early 20's I was vain about my looks.  I'm glad I appreciated what I had!
