Collecting!Old quilts & quilt tops, blocks & study pieces.I also collect early Texas pottery and love tramp art.My favotite place is outdoors on the ranch.I enjoy all the beauty nature brings including wildflowers, especially the bluebonnets!Gardening is a passion.I enjoy going junking ~ or treasure hunting to see what I can find.

My favorite poetry book ~ Mind Mine ~ Musings from the Mourners Bench by T.S. Alex. Poetry dealing with an African American's life, feelings, observations & thoughts. I found it's works to deal with life in a wonderful way!

First let me say I am not an expert on anything!I have been intrested in old things, especially quilts, since I was a child.I get my knowledge from 50+ years of living with these things.My fabric knowledge comes from years of sewing and use. As for feed and flour sacks,I remember helping my father pick just the right one from the feedstore pile!My favorite memory is the look of the beautiful old quilts my mother piled on top of the featherbed she had so carefully fluffed!She would use a broom to smooth it till every lump was removed! I also remember the reminder not to sit on the bed because it would squash the featherbed! My love of old things lead me to the antique & collectible business. I feel I have held every position in this business from owner to janitor.Upon retirement I found Ebay! What a way to meet new friends & gain new knowledge and share what I could.The 5 years I have been on Ebay I have learned so much & gained many loyal customers and friends. THANKS
