Antiquing is an "on the job" history class. Everytime you go to an auction, or to a yard sale, or into a thrift store, you are holding someone's past in your hands. Sometimes it is humbling, sometimes sad, sometimes exciting, but always, the thrill of the find is there.

New Client
We are working on a new estate, mostly smalls. Lots and lots and lots of smalls. It will be an online only Proxibid auction. It will have to be broken into 3 or 4 auctions as there are that many smalls. She (being an 85-year old widow) showed me the most amazing crazy quilt she made years ago. It is all silk and the stitching is perfect. As in pure perfection. Not a loose stitch. And such artistic feather stitching with some modifications to spice it up a little. Unfortunately, the quilt will never be for sale as it will become a family heirloom. I sure hope the younger generations will appreciate it. Anyhow, here's a few pics...
