<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 1481, member: 51&quot;]Hi,&nbsp; I go by &quot;Lucille&quot; on the boards.&nbsp; I like the &quot;hunter/gatherer theory!&nbsp; I agree!</p><p><br /></p><p>My interest in antiques/vintage/collecting started when I was around 10 years old, by age 15 was hunting in Chicago area vintage clothing/jewelry shops with a good friend, our main interest was the clothing.&nbsp; (Had a huge collection of 1940&#039;s suits and dresses --we would wear all the time to high school parties, etc.)&nbsp; Also loved garage sales, and a decade later or so, started buying a wider field of things, old musical instruments, jewelry, general vintage.&nbsp; I guess the bug really hit one day in the mid 1980&#039;s when I purchased a rhinestone jewelry set in a $1 basket (at an antique store) walked down the street to a vintage consignment store -- where the owner sold the piece for $160.&nbsp; There was money to be made! When Ebay came along, that changed everything.&nbsp; the ability to sell on my own, and research.&nbsp; I have to say that the final gift from the gods was lucking into the Ebay Antiques board.&nbsp; I&#039;ve just learned so much (hope to here, as well!) and now have a wide field of things I know to buy.&nbsp; Favorite finds: Glass, ceramics, and art.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
