Yes, it's interesting to do the research on items. I try and learn as much as I can. That's why I love the internet! When I find something I like, the first thing I always do is look for a maker's mark. There is so much to learn. It's a never ending process! But this is what I learned. If I see something I really like but don't know if I should get it or not. I think to myself if I never come across the piece again will I kick myself for not getting it. If I answer yes to myself I end up buying it. Is there a name for this disease? lol

YOU SOUND LIKE ME! I too collect things, but I do what I call "educated, informed, and structured collecting."

My passion is centered around researching to find out the facts behind an item that would guarantee that it will have a high to higher value than just something old that I may find.
When you use my approach to antique shopping, will find yourself examining the item for certain features, indicators or marks that makes the item take on an instant appeal do to their place in history or importance to a certain period.

We are proud to know you have been bitten by the bug!

I resized some of my pics and re-adding them as I had a complaint my pics were too big and taking to long to download. So here it goes..




Re-painted vintage McCoy mammy cookie jar. There are a ton of reproductions made of this in all colors. They even have the crackling on them so beware.

There are a lot of kitchen textiles available in the Black Americana category, and they usually sell well on eBay.
