I had this happen recently. I saw my Holly Hobbie sewing machine in an antique shop in Dayton.

Does this mean that Hell has froozed over?

That will happen more and more as you get older. I cannot fail to see some things I remember as a child in antique stores now, but I am finally used to it.....LOL

You could live quite comfortably on what you could get for some of that stuff! Supplimental income!! EBAY is calling your name!
On a serious note..Smurfs are from my era so how do you think that makes me feel?

At one point during my public education experience, someone said that an antique was anything more than twenty years old. Being young and incredibly stupid, I promptly went home and told my mother she was an antique.

She served liver for dinner the next three nights.

Too old for you, but I remember "Depression glass" coming in boxes of soap at the movies.

I'm envious. I got to prepare a chorus for the Toledo Symphony once. We did "Begin the Beguine," amongst other things.

Cole Porter with a full orchestra. There are very few things as satisfying.

(And for those of you keeping score with the home game, not only was Mamacita my 8th grade English teacher, her sister was my piano teacher.)
