My Home

Janet - that story about the rubber ducks is hilarious!! They left you with two special gifts. One being the phone and the other your precious memories of two very special neighbors.

Diana - How long have you been collecting antiques? All the little details in your home add such a nice touch.

I don't collect antiques as a hobby but have a few pieces that I enjoy. I think my favorite and oldest is an autograph book (what some would call a "year book") that belonged to my Great Grandmother. It has hand written inspirations from her classmates dated in the 1800's.

Thanks for the compliment, Sheryl. I've collected antiques since the "country style" came in, probably early 1980's. I have a sister-in-law that had a lot of family stuff that she decorated with and I really liked the way that she decorated so I started picking up some things here and there.

I think that I have an eclectic way of decorating and if I like it I'll make it go somewhere. I have a hard time getting rid of things because I buy things that I really like! Most of my things are from flea markets, garage sales, and eBay, and occasionally an auction. I bought my coffee table from an auction this spring for $17!!!! I knew the person that was selling it and it was an expensive table.

I love going to flea markets and auctions too. We don't have alot of flea markets here, have to travel a little ways, but auctions go on every weekend. I've picked up a few things myself.

WoW Diana, I never saw this thread before. You have a beautiful home and I love your decor, right out of a Better Homes and Garden magazine. You must be very proud of it.

I forgot about this thread too...isn't it nice? I think we all posted pictures of our homes at one time or another. Would love to go dig them up, but it would take a while. We just may have to post new ones...

Janet, I can't believe that you're bringing this up! So where's your's at?

[katcarasella]

Diana, you didn't read post # 30, I dug it out of the archives.

Thanks, Kat! I was just really surprised that this was back up. Since Janet had posted about my stove I just automatically thought that it was her that brought this back up but it really doesn't matter. I sure wish that it looked that clean right now!!! LOL! Thank you so much for your compliment!!!! We really enjoy our home!
