A lot of things in my collection belonged to my Grandmother and DH grandmother. The highchair was DH when he was a baby and there is a frame in one of the pictures with a recipe in his Grandmothers handwriting and a receipt from the grocers in the 1930's which also belonged to his Grandmother. |
I like that you have collectibles and you USE them
I don't have hardly any collectibles, basically just my china & crystal, but I use all of it, it's not just for display.

Here is our 'antique'  100 years old this year!
Please excuse the not-so-good pictures... I was taking pictures of the arbor, not the house... These are just the most recent I have of the house. Since then, we put the white trim back up around the door (doors are new). |
I love your house! That porch is amazing!!!
