[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 299615, member: 5833"]That's how I ended up buying a well used silver plated 'spoon' (shaped more like a sugar shell) with Ollie, from Kukla, Fran & ___ When I began to look around at all my accumulated stuff, my first thought was, Oh, I don't need to worry about selling any of it yet. Then realized that if I waited as far into the future as I was imagining, [I]everyone[/I] would be selling the same stuff to a market that has no use for Ollie spoons. What I have heard, & seen some evidence of, is that young people are now more interested in collecting experiences rather than things, and are donating more to causes than to cultural institutions. I have encountered young women who do not know what a locket is & people of all descriptions who are unsure about what a cameo is. Our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to develop an appreciation for the best of the past in the best of the future.[/QUOTE]
