I need to be hypnotized to figure out why on earth I melt when I see this stuff or perhaps it is my families fault. Years of collecting antiques [and even non antiques, lol] might have done the trick for me. Years of museums, paintings, Antiques Tiffany pens, and vintage dresses ect. Made me old stuff crazy….
Yes! YET ANOTHER THING I CAN BLAME THEM FOR ,lol ;oP Just kidding. I do the same with my kids. Part of me feels like jeez to spend all this money on old things that will be sold when you become an old thing might not even be worth it but then again I think, but they are all so pretty. Blame it one my lack of a shoe fetish that has made me succumb to an antique fetish, lol.
There are some very cool people that preserve these things which is fantastic to me. I have even found one place that makes new stoves with all the bells and whistles but with an outside exterior that resembles an old one. I love everything from stoves to old medicine bottles, Vintage advertising
movie advertising form the start of talkies to silent films [Clara Bow I one of my faves] hell I even asked my husband as a present one year to let me go into a landfill in an old area to go digging I could wear protective gear and go to town [yes, he looked at me like I was nuts] but I swear that’s what they do in New England and they sell the stuff.Here are some you should check out.

My goal was that living in Cali I might find some old movie still’s [the glass types]. Im detouring again from the subject at hand……
One of my fave stoves:
My point is there are some very cool things out there and today I am tackling stoves. I could go on for days about them. Don’t worry I said I could not that I would, haha.
I did want to share some of this very cool stuff with ya’all and hope that you enjoy it nearly as much as I.FYI,
I accept donated antiques ANYTIME!!! Just saying ;oD
