<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 273468, member: 83&quot;]Fun finds KofT!&nbsp; My family had one of the original businesses in Pioneer Square and there were five generations of us there for some time.&nbsp; It was a very difficult decision for me to leave almost 8ish years ago, but did so to essentially become the primary caretaker for the spouses parents on the other side of the US.&nbsp; With my migraines and other neck issues, I&#039;ve found the weather suites me better on this side.&nbsp; I still get back &#039;home&#039; every 2-3 years.&nbsp; My BFF of 28-years from Bellevue just flew in here recently for a fun vacation to see our new home. </p><p><br /></p><p>You would probably appreciate one of my collections - for many years, I have sought out and collected antique (mostly) and some vintage items from long gone Seattle and Washington businesses.&nbsp; They are displayed nicely on their own shelves or in my office or guest room.&nbsp;&nbsp; From long gone souvenir items, ashtrays, gold plated glasses from Seattle Optical in the original case, advertising mirrors, an incredibly rare pennant from the 1907 Seattle Columbia Exposition (on the original stick), I&#039;ve got a lot of neat-o stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few times over the years I&#039;ve sold items back home locally, including to a museum in the International District.&nbsp; A few things I&#039;ve got instructions to donate to local museums there when I&#039;m no longer around to enjoy them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
