So I went on the "Historic" home tour last weekend. I was older than one of the "Historic" homes--bummer! I also knew much about the "historic" homes--from experience!! I have come to the conclusion that I have the wisdom that comes from life experience.
Today I met a friend for lunch, and we went to an antiques mall--and again, much of what was there seemed not all that old to me! Then they told me that to qualify, something had to be at least 30 years old!!! That is not antique (at least to me)!
So there was a lot of the same "junk" that I have gotten rid off, that my mother and her sisters got rid of, etc. It was no better now than it was when they discarded it. There were also duplicates or near duplicates of lots the the "stuff" I have--except that mine at least has a story, a former owner, and a reason I have it.
I did not find anything to acquire. Probably a good thing.
