I used to give antiques a lot, but they just don’t realize what they’ve gotten, then I wish I had just kept it for myself!

(6) Beth says:

Nothing could keep me from picking up an antique or collectible for someone I know collects a particular thing. There is also nothing wrong with picking up an antique or a collectible that is just an unique as the individual personality it is purchaced for.
It can actually be the beginning to a new shopping partner to find more of those “timeless treasures”.
