Finding that Antique Memory

Collecting is fun!  The hunt for that special item or that one thing that just speaks to you when you walk in the door of an antique shop, a thrift shop, or the online store like my own, Five4us is the Vintage Antique and Collectible Shop.  I have those moments.  Those moments when I see something and it is like a beacon light is shining down upon the treasure of my desire and I know it is something special, something that will be a memory ~~ a remembrance ~~ for myself or one of my customers.  I bet you have had those revelations yourself.  You take that special piece up to the counter and watch as this memory is wrapped in paper and placed in a bag for you to take home.  That moment when you grab that package and your face splits into a silly smile.  That silly smile that stays on your face because you are taking that memory home with you to be remembered over and over again.
