I used that phrase in my title for a reason. May not get me the most hits (!) but....collecting antiques and vintage is something that I love. I also think it's pretty important. You're helping to archive history!
That doesn't mean that you should collect anything and everything that catches your eye. If you are a baseball lover, or have fond memories of other childhood games, toys may be what you would like to start with as a new collector.
Furnishing your home might lead you to a certain style or era that appeals to you. Entertaining? Vintage or antique glass and accessories can give you that "one of a kind" punch that others will admire and remember.
We live in a consumption oriented world, yet events and news surrounding imports, overseas labor practices and the outsourcing of American jobs give us pause....who are we really supporting when we go to a big box store to buy art for the walls or some other small deco?
Who do you think?
