my lovable antiques:sweet and tangy...

<div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; ">I am passionate about antiques.much of our travel is in the search for antiques. An old reading says Antiques are like old books. They hold a limitless universe of knowledge waiting patiently to be revealed. Like a red violin, waiting for it's next owner as it passes through history from generation to generation. And people who collect antiques are as passionate about their collections as they are about the pursuit and discovery of something old that brings them closer to the past.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; ">There is no right or wrong way to collect antiques, but remember, items of good design and beauty are as important as price. Buy what you personally like and are compelled to collect, and incorporate these pieces into your homes in ways that fit your own lifestyle. This way the age-old passion for antiquing and cherishing the past will never fade or loose its patina.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;
