Hi My name's Leanne, I am a 56 year old Disabled pensioner who has started volunteering at my local 'LifeLine' thrift shop. While disinfecting donations I noticed that people were donating silver items, and nice things. As a hobby I've decided to buy things, research silver and pottery Hallmarks, keep my eye out for collectables, search other local thrift shops and start a collection that I can either keep or sell to other collectors one day on eBay. It's turning into a huge, time-consuming pass-time that I thoroughly enjoy.
