<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9753640, member: 79705&quot;]What an amazing story!! I bet you were buzzing on that win for years! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My family had lots of &quot;heirlooms&quot; that were things like great-grandma&#039;s entire collection of coupon dishware from the grocer. Not exactly high-dollar items or even hand-crafted items to find when everyone came from the mid-west depression, and grandma lived in a one-room shack with no running water or even electricity. My sister and I have kept the hand-made quilts, though most of those are second-half 20th c. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like antiques because I&#039;m an artist so I love things from a time when they were hand made and more unique. Even the Industrial Revolution era stuff has a certain ingenuity and charm compared to modern trash. </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t like the aesthetic in my youth though. Probably because I grew up in a maximalist house with faux antique revival furniture. I went minimal for a long time after that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
