I have loved and collected antiques for most of my life. In fact, getting older is not so bad when you think of it in terms of becoming vintage.
One of the reasons I love antiques is that they are a clarion call back to a life that was more sustainable and eco-friendly. My mother, for example, was born in 1918. She moved with her family from one farm to another when she was five using a wagon as transport. She lived without indoor plumbing, knew what it was like to live off grid and yet before her death she was adept in the use of a microwave. Having lived through the Depression she learned how to reuse everything.
One thing that she passed on to me was a love for refrigerator jars.
