My Passion, Addiction, Obsession! (Not to mention FUN!) The buying, selling, and collecting of antiques has been a passion of mine for years, but working and raising a family limited the time I could devote to it. Now that I'm retired, I can dive in and devote as much time as I want. My mom has been a dealer for many years so she's responsible for my addiction/obsession. Thanks mom....it's been such fun!
