Thanks for the compliment, Sheryl. I've collected antiques since the "country style" came in, probably early 1980's. I have a sister-in-law that had a lot of family stuff that she decorated with and I really liked the way that she decorated so I started picking up some things here and there.

I think that I have an eclectic way of decorating and if I like it I'll make it go somewhere. I have a hard time getting rid of things because I buy things that I really like! Most of my things are from flea markets, garage sales, and eBay, and occasionally an auction. I bought my coffee table from an auction this spring for $17!!!! I knew the person that was selling it and it was an expensive table.
