<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Susan Lucky, post: 215222, member: 4112&quot;]I am brand new to this and other than ebay chat boards from twenty years ago, I have not used online groups, so I am excited to be schooled on the proper online etiquette of the group and to &quot;Meet&quot; other antique lovers. </p><p>My love of old things goes back to my early childhood. I would always be drawn to the antiques in a home and want to touch and dream of their history. I can clearly remember asking my mom, &quot;who was the girl who owned this last? Did she serve berries to her boyfriend with it?&quot; in response to finding out a beautiful green EAPG set was for serving berries and cream.&nbsp; I was 8.</p><p>Most recently my focus has been on jewelry having inherited boxes and boxes of sterling pieces, many from Early Taxco, some from the reservations of Arizona in the 50s and much of it just tourist pieces from Mexico and Arizona.&nbsp; But there are the odd pieces I still pull out that are beautiful and in need of an ID.&nbsp; </p><p>It should be mentioned that the same aunt that I inherited the boxes, also sold Claire Falkenstein and Harry Bertoia pieces in her gallery in the late 40s, so that gives you an idea of the kind of stuff I might be finding. Sadly, most of the gems have long been sold off, but I am still opening boxes and finding more unique items all the time. I hope I can bring something to the group, if not in knowledge, at least in enthusiasm and a true love of vintage jewelry.&nbsp; </p><p>My husband and I are raising special need kids.&nbsp; At 61 and 57 yrs of age, it is a loving but sometimes exhausting task.&nbsp; So&lt; I will be sporadic in my attendance. Again, I will look for instruction as to the proper etiquette for asking questions, and &quot;being here&quot; to help and receive help. </p><p>My name is Susan B Lucky (really : ) and I hope to meet many of you soon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
