<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 5753730, member: 35"]Inherited trait with me. My grandmothers had an appreciation and love for china, jewelery and things to set a nice table (silver, sterling flatware, etc.). Then my mother in law entered my life and she, my mother and myself would have some fun times perusing antique stores and going to antique fairs that were popular back then. Porcelain seemed to be my thing and I have loved learning about it and collecting a bit and selling a wee bit when ebay was fun. Now, I'm de-accessioning some stuff as my kids don't want it and feel I have WAY too much stuff. I consign mostly rather than sell because it's easier and so far, I've done OK. And if anyone is interested, I'm happy to give pieces away knowing that someone values them like I do. My main interest is in having beautiful stuff around me. But, I love looking at what other people love and collect and hearing the stories and learning about other stuff, too! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
