Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I collect antiques. Why? Because they're beautiful.
I grew up around old stuff that was not necessarily valuable, but certainly unusual.
I'm the oldest antique in town.
Antique things have an appreciation and worth. Something can be old, but it can be timeless; therefore, it becomes an antique. If this antique is preserved and deemed precious, it could be passed down as a family heirloom.
Old friends are best.
I was 16 before I met another passionate collector. One summer, I visited England; a new friend took me calling on his dotty, brilliant old aunt. She occupied a quaint house in Kent. Its walls were lined with glass-fronted cases full of what? Ancient shoe buckles.
My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.
Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?
You have to fight against being an antique.
Trees are your best antiques.
