And I too believe that. I'm so old-fashioned and love old-fashioned things. I've got a big collection of old buttons. I sometimes just sit and go through them - thinking of the items of clothing they came from - and the people who wore them.<br /><br />Linda in VALindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06533063136544231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563433147316949363.post-88088675893438997622012-10-12T14:19:55.141-05:002012-10-12T14:19:55.141-05:00Brilliant!

My DH doesn't "get" most of my purchases either. Yep, definitely born in the wrong era but I'd like the past with some of our moder day conveniences.

I am more interested in "old stuff" and related themes than in modern "stuff"... :o) I also prefer more to preserve than to "destroy" (= throw away) old things/materials... So you see, you are not alone!!! And I know very well this "look" - my husband gives me - from time to time - these looks, too!!! ;o)<br /><br />CathiCATHIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244596104199848679noreply@blogger.com
