[QUOTE="Calico, post: 1488, member: 98"]Hello All, so nice to meet all of you, and thank you Davey and Peter, for allowing us to have this space to meet. I'm Calico aka: Karen, and I live in Massachusetts. I developed an interest in old things as a child when I would go with my brother to dig up old bottles and other treasures. Growing up in an old Colonial era home that had a resident spirit (go ahead and laugh) with a mother who loved old cemeteries, I grew up to have an appreciation for all things that have gone before us. I have a pretty good knowledge of antique bottles, stoneware, samplers and jewelry. I know a little bit about a lot of things, just enough to make me dangerous when looking for information. :facepalm: Started on Ebay in 1997 selling bottles and pottery, I then caught the jewelry bug after my MIL passed and I was forced to become an expert pretty quickly while sorting through her boxes and boxes of jewelry. I have the Jewelry Board to thank for that education, they were the BEST when it came to helping a newbie identify the piles of stuff I had to wade through. My life is pretty quiet, the kids are grown and my husband works very long and strange hours as a stagehand in NJ, so he's gone for sometimes a week or two at a time, giving me a lot of alone time to research, use my graphics program to create things, and read my trashy romance novels. Oh, and I still love old cemeteries.[/QUOTE]
