<p>[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 3107129, member: 4438"]I would have to answer England as well. I wouldn’t necessarily be looking for an amazing historical piece of furniture at a great price that every thaw overlooked. I enjoy just poking around my local stores. There are so many old and different items that it would be fun. I last visited over 20 years ago, and I enjoyed a quaint used bookstore in Canterbury, and bought a bird print and a book. I went to many other used book stores (including l large one in London whose name I cannot recall). I also found some wonderful books. They were old and not particularly valuable, but I couldn’t get them locally.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first antique store I went to, as a kid, was during a family trip to England in 1982. I loved seeing so many cast iron and brass pieces from Queen Victoria’s era (some had “VR” on them, like some brass frontispiece for a horse). In California, anything 19th century is old, but Victorian things were still relatively new. Anyway, it all was fascinating for me then, and still is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
