Today I decided that this blog would have a bit more structure to it than I had originally planned. At first I was just going to post some of my recent purchases and maybe some “here’s what I’ve been researching” entries, but really, how boring is that!
So last night I remembered that year’s ago, when my mom was going though treatment for cancer, we talked about how many adventures we had antiquing, and how she should write some of them down. And she did. It was a great distraction for us both. I would play “editor” and mom was the writer. Mom and I had shared years of hunting for antiques on family vacations with my brother (an antique lover as well), and now we enjoyed spending time putting some of those memories down on paper. Mom completed her book of antiquing, and left this world about a year after that. Much, much too soon. When I read over the stories she wrote, I feel as if we are on our adventures again. I can say that my love for my mom will forever be bound by our shared love of finding the next great antique.I will be posting some of mom’s stories on this blog. They are treasures in themselves, and they were always meant to be shared.
