My MIL was into antiques big time and I picked up some knowledge about them from her. I also have books on antiques and I enjoy learning and knowing what I have or have seen. I'm really pretty knowledgeable about antiques, anyway some of them!!!

I love antiques. I had always dreamed of an old farm house filled with them. When I talk to my mom about antiques...LOL....she says she wants new stuff...LOL...she lived with that old stuff. Mothers!!

That's how my Mom is. She's not interested in antiques. Several of her sisters like antiques and when I visit them, that's where we shop......flea markets and antique malls. When my Mom's around we just drag her with us. She's started collecting some stuff so she has something to look for, but her collections aren't antiques, just some figurines that she likes.

When my Mom's mother and father moved to town from the farm they bought a wonderful huge old house here in town with the furniture in it. When they moved they had an auction and sold off everything but it was before everyone was interested in antiques and I was pretty small. Grandma wanted new stuff not that old stuff! My aunts have really been sorry that they didn't pay more attention and get some of the stuff.

I love garage sales and flea markets, but hubby doesn't and refuses to stop at them. I think he knows he'll get addicted. I've researched all my things and put printouts with each piece, so the kids will hopefully not trash something that's valuable.

That's a great idea Sandy, but too much work for me. I do have names on the bottom of things of who got it for me and where I want it to go.

I've done most of it at my boring job - nothing else to do so I look up a plate or sewing machine. Then I print it out and put it with that item. If I've got to sit in front of the computer, might as well keep my hands busy. It's interesting that just a mis-matched old plate can be worth good money.
