Later, she spent ten years teaching at various junior colleges and universities.   On the Eastern Shore and in Mobile, she enjoyed instructing numerous courses for Elderhostel Programs on subjects in history and the decorative arts.  In preperation for tours of Mobile's historic homes, many of her lectures provided an introduction to the significant architectural heritage, historical context, furnishings, and works of art.


In pursuit of her new career in antiques, Haynie furthered her studies by completing a two-week program in Amercian Decorative Arts at Winterthur,  a three-week program by the Parsons School of Design, the Sotheby's Summer Program in London, the Natchez Forum, Williamsburg programs, and special sessions at George Washington University.


Over thirty years ago, her antique businesses in downtown Fairhope began with The Wish Bone followed by Crown and Colony Antiques  that is now under new ownership and management.  Eventually, she established her current business that also represents many years of providing appraisals and conducting estate sales.  During this time, she was a Certified Member of the International Society of Appraisers.   She also participated in  antique shows throughout the southeast including the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi.  Today, she is at the shop six days a week selling antiques and fine art.  THE BUSINESS NO LONGER DOES APPRAISALS AND ESTATE SALES!​
