Welcome

Welcome everyone! So glad that you stopped by. I'm excited to use this blog to share information about antiques, boutiques, fun finds, and decorating with these treasures. I've been collection antiques for about 20 years. My parents have been antique dealers for over 30 years, so I definitely caught the bug. When I was little, I wasn't so impressed spending hours and hours at shops. Entire vacations were planned around antiquing. I was not a happy camper.

Then, as I grew older I found things I was really interested in. Old post cards. Old eye glasses. Books. Vintage clothing. Advertising. I couldn't stop thinking about the people who used these things. Who typed on the typewriter? How many letters or news stories or school assignments has that typewriter seen? Who wore these glasses? What woman wore this jewelry? Was it a gift? Did she wear it on special occasions?
I was hooked. These things with character that have lived a long life bring me comfort and bring a special beauty to my home.

So, tell me, what do you collect?

Flow blue china?





Old tins?



I look forward to hearing from you!
