Jeffery Corrick introduction

Greetings - and glad to be here.

I blame my mother for my interest in antiques as she had me by her side at antique and estate auctions before I could walk. We toured every historic home we encountered that was open to visitors (and several with kindly owners which were not.) In 1968 she purchased an 1888 Queen Anne Victorian in Hutchinson, KS and spent the rest of her live lovingly restoring and furnishing it. Ma passed away last year and the house is now with my husband and I. We continue to maintain and restore - and I've recently been buying more period furniture than I can afford. The home was my mother's life and treasure. Hence, we've created a trust to preserve and maintain the home when we're both 6 foot under. A related hobby is antique toy trains - of which I have a large collection and several layouts. So many antiques... so little money <g>. Below is the house, front stairs, an antique train layout, and my new Victorian bedroom set purchase (circa 1860)

 

Hi Jeffery and welcome! That's a wonderful house you've taken on, and what a woman your mom must have been!

 

Welcome Jeffery! Good luck in your endeavors!
Beautiful Home!

 

So charming.

 

Are you ever in the right place! Welcome. We have antique nuts, Victoriana addicts, and I was raised by the train addict to end all train addicts. He liked everything from pre-WWII live steam to toys to Thomas the Tank Engine. We had the log loaded, standard gauge, and ran it at Christmas!

 

sorry for your loss...

Sweet house !!!

Welcome !

 

Welcome to Antiquers Jeffery.
I'm sorry for your loss. She must have been quite a character. She left you this amazing legacy that will be a monument to her for a very long time.
