Finally a place for me to ramble :D!

Hey, my name is Annie I am originally from the Caribbean currently residing in PA! I am a thrift store traveler and novice collector. I love going to thrift stores, flea markets, antique stores etc. My journey just began since I just recently became interested in learning more particularly about antique/vintage items. I did have hopes of reselling things I find and collect along the way but would like to learn more about the history and identifying first, also as a main hobby!

Oh, and about the title.. I drive my small circle of friends crazy talking about antiques since that's not their interest, I am happy to find a forum with many others who have similar interests where I can learn from.

that's all, have a nice day ~

 

Welcome; a lot of us are ramblers.

 

Welcome again Annie.
Just ramble away, I am an absolute rambler myself.

 

Welcome, from a World Class Rambler!!!

 

Welcome!!

All the above is all true . They crack me up on a daily basis and there is a wealth of knowledge .

 

Welcome. Please remember we love pictures

 

Greetings, Annie! We have a tendency to ramble, wander and get off the path all the time!

 

Welcome Annie to the antique ramblers confederation

 

Welcome!

I think that buying is a great way to learn, but be careful, the line between collecting and hoarding can get blurred!

 

Don't worry - hoarding is when the path from your living room to the front door gets filled in and you are stuck in your house!!

 

Welcome aboard, Annie!

 

Welcome Annie! I live in Bloomfield CT, a place I often refer to as Jamaica North since we seem to have turned into a Caribbean outpost. It sure has made the "import" section of the grocery stores a lot more fun!

 

Welcome Annie! Several Pennsylvania's here it seems. NE PA for me.

 

Greetings, Annie! - from SE PA, here
Ramble on about your antiques as much as you desire ... you're among like-minded friends.

 

All right, an oldie, no video, "I'm a Rambler" performed by the legendary Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger ( @all_fakes , you'll know this):

 

Thank you all for welcoming me aboard and for the laughs -ramblers unite! Nice to see a great group of people all in one place. Also, cool to see a lot from PA.

Oh and yes I think it's possible for me to become a hoarder. I'm trying to collect carefully this time around!

 

Greetings

 

AJ, SO COOL!!!!!! Thanks for the link!!!!

 

Hi and WELCOME, Annie!!!! As you can see, there ARE a whole bunch of like-minded people here, BUT they are a bunch who are pretty darn knowledgeable in their wide varied collecting!!!! SO, have at it and join in the FUN and there's ALWAYS something to learn!!!!! I know!!!!

 

Pleasure. I saw them live in Scotland, it was one of Ewan's last concerts, very memorable.
