[QUOTE="Saw Wood, post: 1141027, member: 12665"]‘Hello’ from Eastern PA. For years heard the phrase “Antiquing” and dismissed it for my preferred style of minimalism. However, I really value history and craftsmanship. “Vintage” came into play when I started collecting ink wells (For my active pastime of real tangible hand written correspondence). Turns out that Vintage places refer to themselves as Antique shops. So I guess I’m ‘antiquing’. Humorous. Not a high-end purchaser/collector, yet while remodeling my humble home I’ve acquired pieces that I love. (last was dry sink for the mud room). Most require some work in my little shop. So it’s three-fold now: enjoy the process of looking, the repurposing/fixing, and the satisfaction of having things with history (previous owner). Looking forward to meeting great folks in this Vintage-venture![/QUOTE]
