Memories of Mom
Collecting vintage treasures often evokes personal memories of our loved ones and special times. For me, I grew-up with a Mom who was nuts about the thrifts, auctions and any church or house that had a ‘sale’ sign in front of it (to clarify - 'For Sale' usually means something totally different. Try telling that to a strange, determined woman holding up your favorite flower pot).
We tried everything – metal detecting, bottle digging and exploring old ghost towns across the Country. Often a treasure I find will bring me back to a moment or memory of those times – a memory with my Mom.
Many years later and I now ‘pick’ retro items for a living from the same places (well, from actual garage sales) and I still love it. I have been selling online since 1997 and take great pride in providing quality items and good customer service to folks from across the world.
I hope you find a special memory today.
