The Pleasurable Pull of the Past: Antiquing
“It is not that I belong to the past, but the past that belongs to me.”
Mary Antin (American Author; June 13th, 1881 to May 15th, 1949)
“Antiquing started early for me with antique shop visits and garage sales with my family. My parents opened a mercantile store in old town Eureka, CA. so all spare weekend moments were time spent driving to and fro to sales and storefronts to find treasures to fill our store. I love these treasures and also love simplicity in my home. So, they only items I add to my home presently are items that will be used vs. museumed.”
